Rape is never the victims fault.

258. You claimed it was insulting because it mentioned the word men

As though men have nothing to do with rape. Evidently you felt appalled because for some seriously fucked up reason you thought it was saying all men were rapists, when it said no such thing. That was despite the fact the PSA was made by a men's student group at FSU. You went on to explain that appropriate PSAs focused on the behavior of victims. If it is the victims responsibility to avoid being raped, would it not then hold that the assault is her fault?

Additionally, your point that men just automatically "know" not to rape is proven false not only by studies that most rapists do not consider their actions rape but also by discussions in your own group and by you yourself that ridicule the notion that sex with someone too drunk to consent isn't wrong, "forgetting even the legal definition." Because why would the law control illegal behavior?



Here is the "offensive" PSA

Your thread on the subject

and your subsequent thread about sex with drunk people:

Readers can come to their own conclusions as to what is going on there.

Even taking your point on face vale that you simply think it was ineffective, who are you to judge that? What expertise do you have in the matter? Have you published research on the effectiveness of rape prevention ads? Do you have personal experience that would bear on the matter? And why is it you think it your right to tell women how they should avoid being raped? Why would you possibly imagine anyone cares what you think about the subject? Why is it that you consider your feelings about a rape prevention PSA the important thing to comment on rather than the lives of rape victims? IMO it would be in your best interest to never discuss rape again. When in a cavernous hole, stop digging.
