Women can avoid rape by monitoring how they dress, where they go, what they say.... same old goddam tired sexist victim-blaming message. Teach girls how not to be raped, rather than teach boys not to rape. Slutwalk -- the new version of "Take back the Night." It's good, but how I wish it were no longer necessary.

a male friend had posted it on his FB page and another man actually got on the "you should dress appropriately to avoid violence" band wagon. Needless to say he got an earful from me and others. Very disturbing that these ideas still exist so strongly.

In happier news, the campus of the university I work at has a campaign for sexy consent including t-shirts, boxers, and underwear in black with white writing that says "got consent?". That is an awesome way to work on reconditioning the way people are thinking.
