One word. One gender neutral word is all they need to change in order to cover women needing to gain consent and gay relationships.

New Nova Scotia "rape awareness" adds assume all men are rapists

Other way around. They assume all rapists are men. That's still bad though.

They've also, yet again, assumed that if you just mention something about rejecting sex, it'll reduce rape. Like, the whole teach rapists not to rape concept is bad enough, but this isn't even a "No Means No" ad. It's just a "No".

"rape awareness" = "be aware that everything is rape"

Whenever I see Nova Scotia get mentioned on Reddit, I'm like 'yay, my home province!' then I read the actual sentence and need to say 'ugh, my homeprovince...'

EDIT Now I realize I've seen these from time to time, never bothering to read the little text, only the big stuff. And understanding it at 'DOME' and not 'do me' with a space in between. Not sure if that means the message was effective or ineffective.

rape awareness

Because you know....no one knows what rape is.

At the very least it makes the creators look like they're feverishly tied to the idea that all men's communication skills are stunted (and apparently - especially - only when speaking to a female to whom they are physically attracted) so much so that they need extra "help".

Awe-provoking bias.

Anyone ever see those hillary duff commercials where she's like "stop saying gay as an insult. knock it off"? Every time I see those snarky little commercials i think to myself "fuck you bitch I'll say what ever the fuck I want you gay cunt". Not that I dislike gay people, it's just such an irritating message. I think these signs are not only ineffective, they are counter productive.
