Ad campaign: Innocent men, not innocent women, have duty to stop rape

I was with you until:

while innocent young women, who consciously put themselves in situations where rape is more likely to occur, have no responsibility?

Should women walk about assuming every man they see is a rapist and thus no situation is safe? Would men really appreciate ever woman looking at them like they are potential rapist?

Do I agree that we need to teach both sexes to be more conscious of their surroundings and how their actions can affect themselves- yes. But I can tell you this, if a guy roommate of mine brought home a girl who was blackout drunk and was going to have sex with her- I'd kick his ass. Edit: if it were a girl bringing a guy home in that situation I'd do the same.

So wait, trying to change the behavior of the victim (who along with the rapist has the most control of the situation) is wrong but bitching at an innocent person who was not involved in the situation is what we should be doing.

Just a program to make all men guilty of rape by association.

Some rapes will still happen, so men didn't stop them, so all men are guilty.

Women, as always, bear no responsibility.

Personally, I think that these adds aren't really targeting the problem. They're just creating more hype for the problem. The problem I see is that the general populous is blamed for the actions of a select few. Stereotyping. It's making people paranoid and herding them into dangerous situations because of irrational fear.

People should be able to identify dangers. They should also know how to take care of themselves to prevent harm. However, walking around with a chip on your shoulder is outlandishly foolish. It also marks you as a target.
