Don’t be a creep: tips for 2nd class humans

Tip number 2 reads: “Make consent part of your approach.”

These twits really do believe that PUA's just strut into the club and drag a woman out by her hair. Unbelievable.

I generally find it intriguing that men (which the posters say they are) would post messages like this. The suggestion that men must actively learn to manage their sex drive, respect consent, and deal with rejection in a way other than rape suggests that the men producing these posters believe themselves to be exceptional among their gender. It's an incomprehensible position to me; I don't assume I'm better than anyone else.

"Your feelings are your responsibility"

Unless, of course, you're a woman. Then they're always a man's fault.

I still and will always think women are a lot more into stalking and being a creeper. That being said these "tips" are very offensive. Men shouldn't be presented as wanting nothing more than going around and raping people.

The strange thing about this: I agree with the message of all of those tips.

Yes, just because you hit on someone doesn't mean they have to respond. Simplistic but right.

Yes, consent is important. Don't go round grabbing people asses. Go out and flirt with people, ask them out on dates and have a mutually enjoyable time.

Yes, learning to deal with rejection is an important part of the dating game. Every person you are attracted t isn't going to reciprocate.

The message is stated in a gender neutral way. Doing great so far by my standards.7

But then comes the whole "patriarchy" nonsense. Why did they have to ruin it in the small print?

BONUS: "your feelings are your responsibility" is a great message, but it doesn't seem to be followed when someone is offended or feels threatened.

If I see these in my home town they are coming down.

I would have to disagree with the supposed gender neutrality of these posters. I would agree with you (and the posters) if they were actually gender neutral. If you take a look at how certain parts of the posters are worded and also given the track record of other anti rape posters made in the same way ex. Teach men not to rape, only men can stop rape (most of them are a lot more blatant in their sexism) its pretty easy to infer (because in reality believe it or not that's the point) that men and men only are the targeted demographic pertaining to these posters. Also if you have your doubts, which I would understand if you do just look at examples of how feminist react to actual victims of rape who are men and their victims are women. You'd be surprised how little empathy and sympathy they offer.

I can't help but think that this extensive level of creep shaming from feminist is nothing more than a diversion from something else entirely.

And that would be: themselves.

As long as they can portray the majority of men as scary proto-rapists who send women running in fear, everyone else has a harder time pointing out how women don't do their fair share of dating and relationship work.

The harder you try to not be a creep, the more creepy you will become.

Embrace your inner creep and laugh. Make fun of yourself. Make fun of the world.
