Pretty dissapointed in the way the bbc pretty much blames only young men and boys in this campaign

I'm a huge critic of the BBC but they're not really the ones to blame here - they're reporting on a sexist campaign run by a sexist organisation, so they're just going along with sexism and not the cause.

The entire "this is abuse" campaign has been going on for years and every single aspect of it without exception has been 100% sexist. It has never shown a female perpetrator of abuse in ant video or even an image of one on its website.

The whole "this is abuse" campaign is run by hateful feminist organisation "Women's Aid" - they're the ones who kick boys out of their dv shelters on their 13th birthday, who like to say men are lying about being victims of domestic violence and the ones who hate Erin Pizzey.

Even today, if a local branch of Women's Aid dares to start helping male victims then they forfeit their affiliation with the wider national Women's Aid organisation!

Looking further into it, there's legally no way to blame a woman in the first place but at least they're telling it to the boys and awareness is the first step so it's not all bad.

Having sex with someone who doesn't want to is rape. The law says that only a male can commit rape because the definition by law is that rape is committed with a penis. (Rape victims can be male or female). So you can't 'guess' or assume that the other person wants sex just because you do. If you have sex with someone without checking for consent you are putting yourself at risk of being charged for rape. That's why it's so important that you always check the other person is really up for it before going ahead.
If a girl is drunk, she can't give consent - that's the law. It means even if she says yes in the moment, the boy is still putting himself at risk of committing a rape.
If the boy is drunk, it would make no difference in the eyes of the law - if there are any signs of a girl not wanting to have sex, it could be rape.
It's actually classified as rape if she's saying no in any way at all. She might not say 'no' but if she's indicating it in other ways, it's the same thing in the eyes of the law.

Well, digging into it further.. it seems to point to this site..

They seem to acknowledge a lot of things wrong with the legal system. And admit that both women and men can be raped, even though the law doesn't see it that way.
