“If We Gave Men the Same Rape Advice We Give Women, Here’s How Absurd It Would Sound”

“Undercover Colors is simply the latest in a slew of anti-rape products that don’t necessarily make the world a safer place, but do make women’s lives more difficult by adding yet more items to the list of things they “should” do to avoid rape. The logic of these products rests on some decidedly problematic assumptionsabout what causes rape in the first place, and also suggests that men are unable to control themselves.”

for reals though, there needs to be rape education for men that is as ubiquitous as rape education for women.
(so many so many parallels between the lessons girls learn about sexual violence and the lessons black and brown boys learn about “law enforcement” violence and the relative invisibility of these lessons to those who are not receiving them)
