Myth: Women lie about being raped, especially when they accuse men they date or other acquaintances.

Fact: Rape really happens -- to people you know, by people you know.

If you claim that women may occasionally lie about rape, you deny that it ever happens.

Bonus points for their tips on avoiding sexual asasult.

As a Man, You Can...

Ask yourself how sexual stereotypes affect your attitudes and actions toward women or other men.

Accept a person's decision when they say "no." Don't see it as a challenge. When a woman says no, that doesn't mean wait a few minutes and then try again.

Avoid clouding your judgment and understanding of what another person wants by using alcohol and other drugs.

Realize that forcing a person to have sex against their will is rape, a violent crime with serious consequences.

Never be drawn into a gang rape -- at parties, fraternities, bars, or after sporting events.

Seek counseling or a support group to help you deal with feelings of violence and aggression against others.

Confront other men who talk about situations that sound like date rape.

And here's the cop-out suggestion:

Acknowledge that although statistically most women are victims, men should remember that they can be forced to do things against their will and can become victims of rape as well.

Myth: Rape is only committed by strangers in dark alleys and parking lots.

Fact: As many as 84 percent of women are raped by someone they know, such as friends, family or an >acquaintance.

As many as 84 percent of women who are raped are raped by someone they know, such as friends, family or an acquaintance.

Whether or not this statistic is true, do you think the leaving out of "who are raped" was intentional or accidental?

"Myth: Only women are raped.

Fact: Ten percent of rape cases involve men as a victim."

I thought male rape numbers in prison were much higher than that? http://www.justdetention.org/pdf/TexasUpdate.pdf

Oh god, the "tips for women and men" link at the sidebar.

To sum up, it's basically -

Women : consider all men potential rapists

Men: try not to rape

As many as 84% of women are raped by someone they know

Wow it's up to 84% now? Getting pretty close to that 'all heterosexual sex is rape' point.
