Poster about rape from my local constabulary.

TIL that my wife has raped me innumerable times over the last 13 years.

Rockbottom503 · 2016-01-04T18:35:23+00:00

Unless you're a woman! Then sex without consent is just 'surprise sex' and the man should be grateful.

A nude open legged woman nodding to you after you've been dating for three months and she has texted you a thousand times that she wants to be filled with your semen is not a yes. In fact even a yes is not a yes if she later decides it wasn't a yes. In other words, men are all rapists whenever any woman suggests it. Oh and men don't ever have to say yes bc all women are precious snow flakes and men are a dime a dozen.

And then some 18 year old Freshman chick sees this poster and thinks about her last sexual encounter. She never said no. She participated. But she had had 3 beers and really regrets sleeping with that guy.

"Yippee! I never said yes! I'm not accountable for my own poor choices; that was rape! Let me tell my friends, my college and maybe the police so that I can accurately and reliably label myself a victim!"

Upvote_To_The_Left · 2016-01-04T19:22:17+00:00

These ads are obscene. What are they trying to accomplish? the destruction of natural male/female interaction.

absence of a yes is not a yes? are you kidding me? this basically says the vast majority of men are rapists. When was the last time a women has verbally said yes before sex? Who actually asks "hey can we have sex right now?" that's a one way ticket to totally ruining a good moment between two adults who are about to engage in physical intimacy for the first time.

"It's time. I'm ready," Lena Dunham whispered to me after we had been making out - heavily - for the better part of an hour.

Fucking finally, I thought to myself. Her mouth had tasted like a strange mixture of seafood paella and week-old quiche, seasoned with more than a pinch of shame.

"Is that a yes? Are you ready to participate in consensual vaginal intercourse with me now?"

She put a finger to her lips. The bottom one had what appeared to be a mostly-but-not-quite-fully-healed chancre sore, I noticed with some alarm.

"Don't spoil the mood, big man. Feed it to me. Put it inside my lower mouth." She attempted to speak the last sentence in a purr, but it came out more gurgly that anything.

"I don't want to spoil the mood, uh, beautiful, but I just need you to vocalize your consent before we go any further." I shot her a pleading look.

"My cunt sure looks like it's consenting," she said, as she spread apart her sizable labia, which resembled the wings of a baby albino bat. Her Bartholin's ducts were clearly visible, and they appeared to be dilated to such an extreme degree that she could have easily smuggled a couple garbanzo beans in there. "I feel like I've got Victoria Falls between my legs. The bed is already soaked down to the mattress. Give it to me!" she barked.

I moved a step forward, then paused. "I-I just want this to be safe...for both of us. This is an affirmative consent state, after all."

"What more do I need to tell you?" she asked, appearing to grow a touch annoyed. "I am laying here in my bedroom, completely naked, spread eagle, with my four-inch clit fully engorged, begging you to pound me until my eyes bleed, and you're still unsure if I want this? Are you, like, a little bit stupid or something?"

"I-I know...it's just, I want to make sure that we are able to look back on this evening without any regrets. I want you to feel that I fully respected you, as a person, not just as a gaping, slimy fuckhole. I want you to know that I believe in rape culture, and I, as a proud male feminist, am doing whatever I can, in any way I can, to fight this evil of the patriarchy. Please, darling Lena, let us be completely open and honest about the intimate moment we are about to share. Please just tell me, 'Yes.'"

"If I don't have a cock inside of me in the next five seconds, I'm getting dressed and going over to Judd's house."

I seized the moment. I strode across the small distance separating us and plunged my rock-hard member deep into her quivering beef-den.

Her mouth opened wide into a perfect O-shape. Her eyes bulged, and then rolled slowly back as her eyelids fluttered. I felt my purple-helmeted comrade pressing up against her knobby cervix.

She began to moan. The sound was low, and it emanated from deep within her. The decibels of her moan increased with every thrust of my hips. The sound began to transform from just a noise to something more recognizable. I looked down at her face. It was a twisted rictus of hate. Startled, I immediately ceased my thrusting.

But it was too late.

The sound, louder still, clearer still. "rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"What?" I gasped. "You're joking, right? You can't be serious!"

Her mouth was all bared teeth. "IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she growled.

Long story short, I'm currently Steven Avery's cellmate.

KrisK_lvin · 2016-01-04T17:42:10+00:00

A drink back at mine is not a yes

I suppose this is true, but it does make you wonder what kind of person would not understand the potential for massive misunderstanding by inviting them back to their place at the end of a night in a pub or a party or wherever …

Chezza96 · 2016-01-04T17:32:23+00:00

Someone needs to make a reverse about what is not rape.

cajunrevenge · 2016-01-04T19:33:21+00:00

So if I offer her a stick of gum and she say "yes" she is fair game?

ttnorac · 2016-01-04T20:07:04+00:00

A nice car is not a yes

A luxury watch is not a yes

A high paying job is not a yes

A very expensive home is not a yes

A well tailored suit is not a yes

A drink you didn't pay for is not a yes

A stolen condom is not a yes

A threat of a false police report is not a yes

The absence of a no is not a yes

Only 'yes' means 'yes'.
Theft of sperm to force him to support you and your baby is not ok, it's evil.

FuriousMouse · 2016-01-04T20:26:52+00:00

You wake up and he's ugly/poor/junkie doesn't make it a rape.
Your boyfriend found out about your affair, doesn't make it a rape.
You were drunk and made a bad choice, doesn't make it a rape.
You were drunk and don't remember what happened, doesn't make it a rape.
Your parents don't approve of him, doesn't make it a rape.
You were a virgin and your parents are religious doesn't make it a rape.
Your absence of "yes" doesn't make it a rape.

192873982 · 2016-01-04T22:35:17+00:00

So the key to success would be:

1) to ask for consent

2) she says yes

3) sleep with her

4) accuse her of rape because you didn't give consent because asking for sex is not a "yes" and therefore not consent.

by_myself · 2016-01-05T01:30:57+00:00

We need to add at least one point to that list: An erect penis is not a yes.

Wargame4life · 2016-01-05T02:53:04+00:00

I had a female friend stay over mine once in the same bed, I asked if she minded that i slept in my underwear, she got angry and said "nothing is going to happen" which is not why i asked, it was just common decency (i wasnt actually trying to get with her, its just being polite if you are sharing a bed with a friend).

anyway as I got into bed and tried to go to sleep, she put her hand down my boxers grabbed my cock and started wanking me off without a word.

im a victim of sexual assault where is my parade?

ottervswolf · 2016-01-04T19:14:29+00:00

[slides note to her on the bar] 'Will you have consensual sex with me' Circle YES or NO

dangrullon87 · 2016-01-04T19:27:19+00:00

A landing strip to her vagina, whilst she similtaneously uses air traffic light signals to inform you to proceed does not mean consent.

Ovedya2011 · 2016-01-04T18:14:53+00:00

A PIV interaction is not a yes.

AmberArmy · 2016-01-04T18:09:36+00:00

Some of the comments on the facebook comments under this there were some truly batshit insane responses. One about how there is no longer any respect for women and that they should be put on a pedestal (equality in action). Another said this should be taught in schools (it is, but only that no means no, not how to interpret what a yes is).

Thankfully there were a few people that pointed out this doesn't really apply to women raping men. Replies to that suggested that male rape was less common. I guess that means it deserves less attention then?

Hypersapien · 2016-01-04T19:52:28+00:00

The problem is that there are feminists who want to start claiming that "yes" might not even mean "yes".

Lokimonoxide · 2016-01-05T06:05:59+00:00

So if I get a yes to be invited in, get a yes to sit on the couch, get a yes to kiss her, get a yes to feel up her leg we're okay right? But then she moans, she kisses my ear. I move my hand up a little farther. moan Yeah, baby, I'm doing it for you. She tears off my shirt and pants and starts sucking my dick. I take off her clothes and eat her out like a banshee. We fuck until the sun comes up.

This is rape?

DavidByron2 · 2016-01-04T18:00:17+00:00

It's not even true. All of those things could be taken as a "yes" in a court of law.

PC Principal: McKenzie, you got consent forms?

-McKenzie Oh, yeah. Right here, bro.

-PC Principal: Rise and shine, guys. If you scored last night, I need your consent forms. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Whoa, Barker, did you perform cunnilingus? There's a different release form, bro.

-Barker: Yeah, uh, s-sorry. It's right here.

-PC Principal: Nice.

-Bro: Bro! Oh, dude! Bro!

-PC Principal: What, bro?

-Bro: Dude, I scored with this female, and after consenting to putting her mouth on my penis, she wanted me to walk her home.

-PC Principal: Yeah?

-Bro: And when I got to her house, she had me meet her father, who is Filipino. So, I asked him if he could tell me about the cultural and social dynamics of being a Filipino American.

-PC Principal: Naturally.

-Bro: So, he said some stuff, and then a newspaper lands on his doorstep, 'cause I guess her dad subscribes to this school newspaper, and he picked it up, and I saw the headline said this!

-PC Principal: What the fuck Is this, bro?!

-Bro: Bro, that little kid wrote that our tolerant views and fight for social justice is just a way for us to crush puss!

sagashiteiru · 2016-01-05T03:27:40+00:00

My girlfriend of many years once asked me why I never made the first move.

I was nervous enough to make a first move, try adding potential rape to that... jesus.

holomanga · 2016-01-04T18:59:25+00:00

This is pure cultural imperialism. Of course they'd try to stop non-English speakers from reproducing, wouldn't they. Sickening.

hailtotheking999 · 2016-01-04T22:01:49+00:00

Funny story.... I dated a girl for a bit and we made out I then asked if it was ok if we went further. She went completely turned off. Next day she told me a man should just do and not ask because asking is a huge turn off wtf

EverymanGirl · 2016-01-04T23:05:19+00:00

What is the problem with this poster? Shouldn't consent be celebrated?

Pathosphere · 2016-01-05T01:19:11+00:00

Jesus Christ ACTUAL RAPE IS NOT THAT COMMON this shit is really starting to outrage me instead of just depress me.

Literally EVERYONE knows rape is fucked up. This poster is fucking fear mongering. There is nobody who is going to rape someone who is swayed by this ridiculous propaganda.

To be fair, most feminists I've met apply a yes means yes standard to women as well.

rolleyes

albinodruid · 2016-01-05T04:02:08+00:00

I mean, this poster is not aggressively stating "Only men rape, and only women get raped." It's just saying consent is cool. That only "yes" means "yes." So... what's the controversy here?

ukreview · 2016-01-04T18:40:50+00:00

when did the UK adopt 'affirmative consent' rape laws? as far as I know, we haven't.
so, the fact she hasn't said no is not consent? could have fooled me. that is EXACTLY what it means. in the UK the culture we have means that we stop if she says no. This is not California, where you can only start after she has said yes. or am I missing something.
forget about what the police say in their dubious poster campaigns, what does statute law say about this? the police are the last ones on this planet we should be asking for guidance and clarification on this issue.

Doriphor · 2016-01-04T20:01:16+00:00

How exactly is the absence of a "no" (verbal or otherwise) not a yes? (Considering two equally sober/intoxicated and awake adults)

Rethgil · 2016-01-04T21:07:33+00:00

So according to them an absence of a verbalised 'yes' is a definite full-on rape. And a verbalised 'yes' means an absolute right to sex.

Well done for them. Messed up both sides of logic with typical feminist all-or-nothing idealistic absolutism.

doingthisonthetoilet · 2016-01-04T21:18:41+00:00

My ex didn't like to talk about sex and would use codewords for when she wanted it, so according to this I raped her a lot.

colucci · 2016-01-04T21:43:45+00:00

You better fuck good cause you're basically guilty of rape at the discretion of your lay for the night.

Give it another decade and we will need to sign contracts to have sex.

emesghali · 2016-01-04T21:48:12+00:00

"Grabbing his erect penis, smiling at him seductively as you slide it into your fully aroused vagina is not a yes"

Endless_Summer · 2016-01-04T22:10:05+00:00

The absence of no is not a no.

MeiFriend · 2016-01-04T22:15:07+00:00

Meanwhile if my girlfriend mentions it's lonely at home I'm supposed to break in and hug her or it means I don't care about her (ok, not that badly, but I'm supposed to read the signs).

192873982 · 2016-01-04T22:39:32+00:00

Someone should read sex scenes of popular literature, just to point out how many of them would be rape after feminists definition. That would actually make a good blog post.

MGTOW?

IronJohnMRA · 2016-01-05T00:21:11+00:00

Completely transparent. They've taken two items and put them together in an attempt to keep men from having sex with women:

First, they know most people generally do not make verbal agreements prior to intercourse. They simply do it.

Second, they understand that a man asking a woman's permission to have sex is a huge turn off to them, and will most likely end in a refusal.

When you put these together you get men who won't pursue sex out of fear of rejection, and women who won't allow it out of pure irritation. Problem solved; that is if you really believe all sex is rape, all men rapists, and all women are rape victims like feminists do.

Aatch · 2016-01-05T01:40:49+00:00

I don't understand why they feel the need to go overboard with this. To start with, we already have laws concerning consent. They aren't rape laws, they're just general consent laws.

If you don't feel you can say no (and a reasonable person would agree) then that's not consent. If you lack the mental faculties, temporarily or otherwise, to understand what you're agreeing to, that's not consent. If you are physically unable to signal disagreement, that's not consent.

These rules apply to police questioning, entering into a contract and, of course, agreeing to have sex with someone.

The last point is the worst. Unless the mentioned factors are in play, an absence of a no can be considered consent. A potentially violent partner, being significantly intoxicated, being unconscious - all factors that can cause apparent consent to be considered invalid.

Personally, I think these kinds of posters need to focus on communicating what is and isn't consent to both parties and encourage people to be aware of mitigating factors. At the same time, the idea that only explicit verbal consent counts can easily confuse people. Given how intimate most sex is, communicating refusal can be easy, so it's only really the cases where one party wants to refuse (or would want to if they were aware), that need to be addressed.

Tacit acceptance, that is to say those who do not deny, accept.

_pkmzeta · 2016-01-04T21:10:49+00:00

I think it's a shame that some women feel too scared or pressured to say anything even if they didn't want to have sex at the time, but that doesn't make it rape and a poster like this isn't going to help.

I also think women should stop playing coy in the bedroom because they don't want to seem like sluts, and should be taught to be more forward with their desires. That would help more than this poster will.

wo_t · 2016-01-05T02:10:03+00:00

tetsugakusei · 2016-01-05T08:04:33+00:00

Your local police constabulary needs to study the law. They know not of what they speak.

socialinjusticewar · 2016-01-05T00:22:27+00:00

And don't forget, a yes is not a yes if she changes her mind at any point afterwards - even five days afterwards!

donit · 2016-01-05T00:31:54+00:00

Consent is determined by how the girl, her friends, and her family feel about it the next day.

kolop1 · 2016-01-05T01:34:30+00:00
