Rape is never the victims fault.

286. first... i like that video. i think it is about par with the Op in this thread.

i think too often our kids are hearing what girls need to do to avoid rape. we on du hear plenty addressing the rapist. not so much in average every day life. i think this will be duh for many. and maybe not actually getting the point to the rapist, but lightbulb for many of the kids that have not thought it thru and do not have parents that have conversation with them. switching from what the victim needs to do to prevent rape, to the duh... do not rape.

yes, i think it is good for our youth. having them think ahead, prior to the moment they see a peer behaving in a manner that should be called out. the have already thought it thru and easier to step up. they are prepared.

awareness. i am all for preparing our kids with info so they are better equipped when stepping out the door.

look. we had like two or three men just a couple days ago saying the way a girl dresses is her wanting certain attention. it wasnt conversation of rape, but the same dotted line. grown men on du. as much as we are think it is a duh, media and society are conditioning us otherwise. so it is not such a given in message. for one light bulb, that is good enough for me and makes it worth it.

do you know, we have even had a few men state that it was biological to rape. of course it was mens job to contain that urge. with all the zillion of men lack this "urge" i would think no one thought this way, but heard that not long ago. tells me these things need to be stated often and everywhere.

i agree with bonobos article that i think the biggest rape prevention would be prosecution, conviction, and harsh sentencing for guilty.
