Well... I kind of understand where they started on this track of thinking.

I mean... girls kind of already live in some amount of fear of being raped day to day. Especially small girls. Ask your smallest female friend how safe she would feel walking through the city alone at night.

Now, pretend you're them. Girls already know this stuff. And they're not really talking about, like, violent rape. They're more focused on "lets stop whatever forms of rape we can stop" which is really kind of only applies to stuff like getting a girl drunk so you can have sex with her or pressuring girls into sex they don't want.

THEN pretend they pass it off to their "marketing department" who, as we generally see, is awful.

So they both completely misinterpret the message you wanted them to deliver AND they lack anything resembling diplomacy (or any interpersonal skills) so they come off looking like they're blaming all men for what some men do, offending nearly half of whoever sees it, and making themselves look like man-haters who should never be taken seriously.

But that base message isn't really that bad. I mean how many teenage guys wouldn't resort to pressuring a girl into having sex? Why the hell else do you buy a girl an $8 drink at a bar?

But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm naive and giving them too much credit.
