Women are the primary abusers of children:

This should always be a response to anti-rape campaigns focusing on stopping men, and men only.

This should never be used as an argument on it's own.

We mustn't participate in the pissfest of blame.

I know OP was saterizing that, just making sure y'all do, too.

That doesn't work because the original poster is a satirical reversal of rape prevention tips that are issued to women, "don't do this, don't do that etc". It isn't a literal guide on how not to rape for men.

My father is a great guy and has never done anything to hurt me. My mother however, constantly verbally abuses me, and on rare occasions, has physically beaten me.

blueoak9 · 2013-04-16T20:02:52+00:00

Harsh.

And that's what makes it so good - no mistaking what it is saying, no denying what it is saying,no excuses for what it is saying.

Mothers are more likely to neglect or abuse their children since they are the primary caregivers for children, especially in single-parent households, which are disproportionately involved in cases of neglect and abuse

<sup>I</sup> realize this brings up many issues of custody as well, but it's something to keep in mind (source : http://www.americanvalues.org/pdfs/researchbrief7.pdf)

That was awesome. I recognized almost all of those events and the names of the women who commited them. I would have no problem hanging this image in a school or daycare. Not to shame mothers, but to raise awareness that this does occur more often than most people realize. Had someone been just a little less trusting of the image of mothers that is "sold" to us, perhaps a few of these children might still be alive.

Somehow this is patriarchy's fault.

pink_mercedes · 2013-04-17T01:40:48+00:00

I'm a lady and I didn't know about the "Don't Rape" poster and I saw this and it really pissed me off. But then I saw it, and it really struck me as how people are blaming the problem of rape entirely on men, and how much it would hurt if the situations were switched. It was like a big anti-man poster calling all guys neanderthals who can't control their primal urges. I hope more women see this to have them understand what it's like to be blamed because of their gender.

Spot on except for the part about getting drunk and high and letting your kid roll around in his/her shit.... can't kids have fun anymore? And can't I laugh at them while they're having fun?

11) Don't be a feminist

Sarstan · 2013-04-17T03:40:24+00:00

We need to teach mothers not to abuse children, not tell children to stop being abused!

2013-04-17T02:01:39+00:00

I know I said it doesn't work because it misunderstands the meaning of poster its starizing, but I still think it works to illustrate the bigotry of it.

2013-04-17T02:11:58+00:00

I think they'll be handing out posters like the original one to men at the next Pycon!

Red_Bastard · 2013-04-17T11:36:04+00:00

This really hit home with a situation currently going on with some people I know. The mother is putting her kids in appalling situations on a daily basis and that's not even touching on the general treatment these kids are having to endure. Both parents weren't exactly candidates for the cover of a parenting magazine but the father really loves those kids and has turned his back on the dodgier aspects of his life and enlisted the help of his mum to give these kids the safe, sane, happy environment they deserve. While they wait for it to go to court, guess who got interim custody?

amylnites · 2013-04-17T13:08:36+00:00

I found this poster hilarious because I aware of the original one. And, although the original may have been intended as satire, I still think its purpose was to make a feminist point, just as sosueme's poster makes a point about female perpetrators of child abuse. The oft-quoted line "There's many a true word spoken in jest" comes to mind.

And, lets face it, the american Humane Association quoted on their website that:

"Approximately 40 percent of child victims were maltreated by their mothers acting alone; another 18.3 percent were maltreated by their fathers acting alone; 17.3 percent were abused by both parents (USDHHS, 2007)."

I was so confused when I clicked on this link...

Ekekekeptangyazingni · 2013-04-17T02:05:30+00:00

As interesting as these posts are, they are the kind of posts that people link to when they call us a bunch of assholes.

We're all on the same page. We understand how ridiculous the 'Stop Rape' poster was.

Making this poster is petty and could hurt us far more than the couple guffaws it's going to get from us. Whilst the point is good, you're not convincing anyone here, and if you tried to show this to anyone outside of this forum, you'd look like a Class A Asshole.

I'm just saying we should be careful what we up vote here guys.

CptSeaCow · 2013-04-17T03:38:52+00:00

I recognized a few of these, but would anyone be able to give me the comprehensive list of the people who were responsible for these actions? Also, I immediately recognized it as a play off of the original, and found it quite entertaining.

Thisismynetlife · 2013-04-17T04:28:33+00:00

That is some spot on shit.

havabeer · 2013-04-17T05:19:42+00:00

What is the point of this? And how is it MR?

FriarTuck1234 · 2013-04-17T06:51:01+00:00

I know these are trying to point out how ridiculous femi-nazi propaganda is. However, i feel for people just visiting our community, or those that do not know it is satirical and might think we are purposefully trying to pass such propaganda, could be a bad thing.

Its one thing to put up a pic of some femi-nazi trash like this and comment on how it is atrocious, anyone who sees the site can see that and agree. By making "our own" it gives some sort of foothold for the feminists to say we are the "femi-nazi" groups for men, instead of the well minded group we are.

TL:DR Pics like this might do more harm then good

CrossHook · 2013-04-17T13:15:38+00:00

Excellent job. It's about time women were on the receiving end of this new type of "teaching"

2013-04-17T14:06:41+00:00

Oh, I thought I was supposed to beat them with a belt with burning cigarettes attached to it… Thanks. I never knew! :D

Nice sarcasm. :D I didn’t quite catch it at first.

TwirlySocrates · 2013-04-17T14:47:55+00:00

I don't think this is very constructive.

adamwizzy · 2013-04-17T14:56:39+00:00

Let's not sink to the level of the people who made that men rape poster, not all women child abuse, just like not all men rape.

7wap · 2013-04-17T18:49:09+00:00

We need a high quality version suitable for printing. Suitable for posting right next to the original poster, when found in public.

some_goliard · 2013-04-18T02:50:09+00:00

I posted the satire on Tumblr, only to have it removed by moderators on the next day...

Holy shit! This is hilarious! I am in tears!

Saerain · 2013-04-17T08:19:49+00:00

How silly. Mothers beat with shoes, not belts.

Jodansan · 2013-04-17T05:54:34+00:00

The original poster is meant to satirize/shame rapists. Something I think would be effective.

Obviously I do not take offense to it because I am not a rapist.
