The "EAAA Sexual Assault Resistance program" is shown in studies to reduce college rape by 46% (the vast majority of programs have no effects). But feminists consider teaching women not to get raped to be problematic as it takes the focus away from the real problem (toxic masculinity).

This is such a revelation (not).

It reminds me of my misspent youth when I was Rock Climbing. We were taught to look to our own safety first, other climbers second and to not require the Mountain to change and treat us nice.

The same occurred when I was learning to drive. I was taught to Drive defensively - I drove my vehicle and was aware that idiots drove other vehicles and that the Road didn't give a Fuck if I crashed, burned or got flipped the bird by an ass.

It's not blaming women it's teaching self-defence which is an incredibly intelligent response to this sort of thing and something that men should do too. Feminists can't have self-confident women walking about at night and realising feminists are full of shit. No, because then they might not vote Democrat and support feminism unquestioningly because they're not irrationally terrified of the straight white male.

Unit 1 (Assess) focused on improving women’s assessment of the risk of sexual assault by male acquaintances and developing problem-solving strategies to reduce perpetrator advantages.

Unit 2 (Acknowledge) assisted women to more quickly acknowledge the danger in situations that have turned coercive, explore ways to overcome emotional barriers to resisting the unwanted sexual behaviors of men who were known to them, and practice resisting verbal coercion.

Unit 3 (Act) offered instruction about and practice of effective options for resistance; this unit included 2 hours of self-defense training based on Wen-Do.30 The unit focused on common sexual assault situations involving acquaintances and defense against attackers who were larger than the woman.

Unit 4 (Sexuality and Relationships) aimed to integrate content from the previous units into participants’ sexual lives by providing sexual information, including the slang and scientific terms for a wide range of possible sexual activities beyond intercourse and health and safer-sex practices, and a context to explore their sexual attitudes, values, and desires and to develop strategies for sexual communication.

Feminism hurts women too.

What I thought was funny was the section in the middle where they attempt to deal with feminist resistance to their program and the supposed negatives of 'victim blaming'.

They say that telling women how to change their behaviours to minimize risk isn't successful, because it negatively impacts their quality of life and doesn't have any supposed efficacy, that their program does it completely differently, and has women in the workshops brainstorming ways to mitigate or offset 'risk factors' like alcohol or drugs.

Presumably, once they've brainstormed, they will have a suite of techniques they will use to mitigate those risks, right? Like buddying up when you're drinking, always having a ride home, being choosy about who you drink and do drugs around, being picky about who gets to come into your home, or whose home you go into ... which is pretty much what the 'victim blamers' are telling women to do. I guess if women negatively impact their own qualify of life with their own brainstormed techniques, it's vastly different than someone else basically telling them the same techniques?

No matter what, you have to change your behaviour in some capacity to offset those risk factors. It's unavoidable.

Rape is an industry to feminists and outrage farmers. Asking them to support programs that actually reduce rape is like asking tobacco companies to support programs that reduce smoking.

Imagine being so stupid, you won't take responsibility for own safety.

Hey we developed a program that actually reduces rape!

Feminists: does it shame men?

Well no.

Feminists: NEXT!

Wow, that's pretty good! Heck, let's all take that program.

If you read the article, it actually defends against this and says that the message feminists want is getting through regardless of their distaste for how
