It doesn't seem sexist, it is sexist! Imagine an add with only black men talking "black" reasons to rape.

And it doesn't nothing to help men who have been sexually assaulted by women. It only reinforces the idea that men rape women but women don't rape men.

Typical BS that society can't take in reverse.

"When he didn't do his homework, I didn't slap him. Only women can stop child abuse".

I take exception to the last frame though.

He paid for your meal, you do owe him... next time you go out, it's your shout.

your friend is an idiot, and an entrenched sexist.

anyone still have the photoshopped version of this that highlighted how biased it by replacing the message with racism and other stereotypes?

Oh, I don't know, I don't think the message of 3 out of the 4 of these is bad. I mean, they're still stupid, because I don't think anyone that is going to rape someone is going to suddenly have an epiphany, "oh, I can stop this rape...by not raping her!!!!" Woooooooooooow.

Also, all these reasons for rape are very conscious in the overall societal mind, but I don't know if they're supported statistically as the main causes of rape. I think determining the main causes of rape would be pretty hard actually...

Oh, and the when she was drunk one does make me a little angry. I don't get at all how the I was drunk and had sex, but now I regret it, so it's rape, argument ever gained any traction. Besides, by that logic, if one person is drunk, the other one probably is too, so they're raping each other.

I mean, sure, if someone is passed out and someone starts having sex with them that's clearly wrong, but I don't buy the drunk point at all.

It is a positive message, but it is sexist by only including males as the possible rapists. It did go out of its way for offering that a male can be the victim of rape, (albeit by a male rapist) which very few people seem to acknowledge. Can we get gender neutral additions to these posters? All we need is more posters to make this inclusive.

There are two major points missing here:

Males can be the victim of a female rapist.
Females can be the victims of a female rapist.

typhonblue · 2012-03-07T19:02:00+00:00

It's sexist in multiple ways.

It genders strength as male. It also genders abuse as male. It genders victimization as female, thus adding to female socialization that renders them incapable of achievement.

It's crap all around.

As for the fourth is that to say she would use sex to get stuff?

Oh wait, that would be giving a woman agency...

Hey, I lost a lifelong friend after he made a Facebook comment that "anyone who doesn't vote for Obama wants my daughters to be raped and forced to give birth at gunpoint."

You know how we love to exact sexual payment in exchange for dinner! We're just big scary menfolks!

2012-03-07T13:29:15+00:00

The people who put out the "Men can stop rape" campaign are as misandrist as they get. The idea that (quote) "masculinity...is still too much the air that we breathe". This has to stop.

TerriChris · 2012-03-08T00:41:24+00:00

"So when I paid for our date she didn't owe me." The Women's Movement just can't seem to make any progress in the area of paying, can they?

lt_hindu · 2012-03-07T22:14:38+00:00

Look at it like this my friend the way you can end the rape culture is to see women as nothing more than our equals in bed.

Women aren't the gatekeepers of sex and this generalization that men are horn dogs needs to end. Women just as men, "wanted as bad." We all like sex!

If our society can embrace women sexuality and everyone (both genders!) stops calling women sluts and whores. Even guys pigs- WE CAN END THE RAPE CULTURE THAT ENGULFS OUT REALITY!!

People should welcome others sexual appetite as it is how we can end male sexuality being exploited in advertisements and this stereotype that women are inferior to men.

fondueguy · 2012-03-07T06:18:51+00:00

Your friend is right. Regardless of any sexist themes in the ads, they're promoting an important topic: that we should be teaching "don't rape" instead of "don't get raped."
