Sexual assault awareness campaign targets young men (Don't be that guy).

“The criminal code is quite clear that if a person is intoxicated, they are unable to consent to sexual activity,” said Carolyn Hlady, acting staff sergeant in the sex crimes unit of the Saskatoon Police Service.

Hlady was careful to mention that “two people can have too much to drink and still have consensual sex” but that consent still needs to be explicit and freely given.

How is that not a contradiction? Either a drunk person can legally consent, or they can't. If you are going to make a line at which they can't consent, we need to know what that line is, like the .08 BAC limit for driving. Then we can breathalize everyone before we have sex with them.

I think it’s great that the campaign is targetting men. Women hear all to often that they need to be careful with their drinks, and around men in the bar.

Targetted advertising isn’t sexist, it’s simply trying to reach different messages to different demographics. It’s a sad truth that sometimes some guys feel it’s okay to use alcohol as a date rape drug. The campaign’s intent is to remind those who would use alcohol that way that it is not okay.

“You talk to men and you ask them that question, ‘What did she do to consent?’ and they’ll say ‘Nothing.’ And I’ll say, ‘That’s sexual assault.’ ”

What on earth does that mean? Either she was conscious and able to protest if needed or she was passed out.

I wait with bated breath for a bunch of anti child abuse posters reading "Don't be that woman" to be posted in women's toilets.

I'll be whatever kinda guy I want. I have no responsibility to any woman except my familial relations.

The message is amounting to: Don't be around women who consume alcohol. On top of becoming obnoxious, you can't even fuck them without catching a rape charge, so whats the point?

The campaign does not seek to bash men, she said. Edmonton, another participating city, has seen positive results from the campaign.

“They’ve had a lot of really good feedback, some negative but mostly good feedback,” Pocock said.

Emphasis by me. Yeah, let's ignore the negative feedback and label the campaign successful overall.
