@kelsmom - your post reminds me of something I saw on Facebook a week ago. I can’t provide the link, but here’s the gist. I don’t know why our culture has accepted that it’s always the woman’s obligation to avoid rape risks. It’s about time someone wrote something up like this that points out that it goes both ways (and now I’m sure someone is going to chastise me for sharing this, telling me I have it all wrong). Actually the person I know who shared this on her Facebook page is a professor at a liberal arts college.

Ten Rape Prevention Tips:

1. Don't put drugs in women's drinks.

2. When you see a woman walking by herself, leave her alone.

3. If you pull over to help a woman whose car has broken down, remember not to rape her.

4. If you are in an elevator and woman gets in, don't rape her.

5. When you encounter a woman who is asleep, the safest course of action is to not rape her.

6. Never creep into a woman's home through an unlocked door or window, or spring out at her from between parked cars, or rape her.

7. Remember, people go to the laundry room to do their laundry. Do not attempt to molest someone who is alone in a laundry room.

8. Use the Buddy System! If it is inconvenient for you to stop yourself from raping women, ask a trusted friend to accompany you at all times.

9. Carry a rape whistle. If you find that you are about to rape someone, blow the whistle until someone comes to stop you.

10. Don't forget: Honesty is the best policy: When asking a woman out on a date, don't pretend that you are interested in her as a person; tell her straight up that you expect to be raping her later. If you don't communicate your intentions, the woman may take it as a sign that you do not plan to rape her.
