Re: Non-fandom Secrets
The thing I object to is that when someone doesn't follow the advice, or tries to and ends up getting raped anyway, they get blamed. Someone will say "Well, she was alone." or "She wasn't paying attention to her drink." and unfortunately, most people will have a subconscious "Oh, well that's why she got raped." thought, even if they know logically that it wasn't the victim's fault. Or sometimes it's a not-so-subconscious thought and they really do believe that. Maybe the "men should just not rape" thing is becoming an unhelpful cliche but I think originally it was meant to be "Why don't we think more critically about the attitudes our culture has towards rape and try to come up with a better solution to the problem."
Personally the first time I heard it, it opened my eyes, because even when I was really little my parents were telling me how to act and what to do in order to be safe and I think most girls grew up with that kind of teaching, but I always had the feeling that the boys weren't taught to take it seriously. Like they didn't understand how powerless they actually made girls feel. So I guess the real meaning is "Let's teach boys about rape with the same level of seriousness that we teach girls."
