"We should teach men not to r/pe
instead of teaching girls not to get r/ped" is such a
ridiculous campaign like I get where you're coming from with
not blaming r/pe victims but for f/ck's sake if you could
just teach people not to commit crimes it would've
been done a long time ago. I mean damn r/pists don't give a
sh/t that what they're doing is wrong. The fact that r/pe
isn't the victim's fault doesn't mean that people
shouldn't learn how to protect themselves.
Consider that some r/pists are, for example, drunk college guys at parties that take advantage of drunk girls around them who aren't fully aware of what's going on. Yes, we should totally teach these girls not to drink/get drunk and make sure they realize that drinking can render them powerless and lead to them being taken advantage of. But we should also try to teach the guys that if they see a girl who is intoxicated, or potentially so (sometimes it isn't clear that she is, but like, if he knows she's been drinking a decent amount she could probably be), they should try to help her - get her to safety, lay her down on a couch, get her water (for dehydration) or whatever... and that drunken consent should NOT be taken as "true" consent. A lot of guys will use the excuse "well she was drunk so it was okay" but no, it's not okay. If she was drunk and about to go drive a car would you stop her or would you let her do it because she "wants" to drive the car?
Duh.
If only it were that simple though... but we have to at least try to convince at least some of them... if anything, call it "chivalry" or whatever, if that's what'll encourage them - but the point is - help the girl, don't help yourself to her :)
