11. Shouting "boo" first does not constitute surprise sex, it's rape.

Re: Best anti-rape poster ever...........
Really? I would say that it pokes fun at a serious issue but each to their own I guess.

Re: Best anti-rape poster ever...........
very strange I think?

Re: Best anti-rape poster ever...........
It is a spoof, in one sense - all the 'how to avoid getting raped' advice is usually aimed at women; this simply makes the very valid point that, if men stopped raping, there would be nothing for women to worry about.
I think it's very clever - and very accurate. |

Women who have been raped are often accused of 'provocative' behaviour ("She was wearing a short skirt, so she was obviously asking for it......." etc). This approach puts the responsibility back onto men not to rape, rather than telling women to 'avoid' being raped. I think it is very clever, and makes a point that is too often ignored. The paedophile comparison is meaningless in that context. |
Re: Best anti-rape poster ever...........
I think is crass and deliberately provocative, which given the subject matter don’t sit very well. It also has an expectation of a level of intelligence and understanding of satire which I suspect the average person (never mind rapist) is unlikely to have.
Also, I’m not really sure where and in what context this could ever be used. |

Communications 101: If you have an extremely important message you should deliver it in multiple formats in as many ways as it takes to get it across. This means you may need to deliver the message in a language you don't speak. Do it anyway.
Personally, I quite like the way this message is being delivered. It would definitely sit well with at least one target demographic - smartass university students who are learning to see the world in so many shades of grey they forget that sometimes black and white is entirely appropriate. |

Outwith the context of where this message was meant to be used, and who it was meant to target, it could very easily be viewed as being offensive and insensitive. |

True, but Communications 102 would tell you to makes sure to target your tailored message at the intended audience, otherwise it will likely be misconstrued, misunderstood and lost.

in an ideal world women should be able to walk around naked, drunk, alone etc without having to worry about getting raped...in the meantime women have to be sensible about their behaviour, and that is not the same as saying if she is dressed in a short skirt, she is asking for it... I believe this type of rape, where a woman is alone, drunk and maybe dressed 'sexy' walking down a dark alley, is not the most commom form of rape by the way...a lot of sexual agression/abuse takes place within marriages/long term relationsships where the whole 'she was asking for it' theory doesn't apply... |
