i think a key part in changing that to the point where rape becomes minimal is educating people early. if men (as a general collective) have it so ingrained in them that rape is normal or worth the consequences then it's important to change that specifically. rape is still going to happen, just like, say, infanticide happens despite it being incredibly taboo in this culture. that's the consequence of free will. but raising people a certain way can impact the amount of people who choose to rape. there's little we can do to prevent certain people from committing crimes, regardless of the nature of the crime, but we know that culture and how we raise our kids affects crime rates, even for premeditated crimes. i don't see how rape would be an exception, you know?

True. I'm just unconvinced that no-means-no campaigns targeted to adults are going to change the behavior of rapists.

yeah, i agree there. as much as i like the thought behind seeing buttons and stickers and stuff with the "yes means yes" sentiment on them, i don't think at that point anybody who is calculating the act of rape is going to change their mind as a result. and since those people are gonna be alive for quite some time, the next best thing - not the supreme best, but the next best thing - is to encourage potential survivors to take smart precautions. i think that's something some folks aren't quite understanding about it.
