I do these already, why in the world does rape still happen? This is how you stop rape after all, right?

[–]FiveMagicBeans 1 point2 points ago

Why in the world does murder happen still happen?

Simple, there are a lot of people in this world (both male and female) who don't give a shit about anyone other than themselves, and to them their personal property, satisfaction and feelings are worth more than any level of hardship or suffering they inflict upon others.

(And yes, I know you're being sarcastic)

What do personal property, satisfaction, and feelings have to do with it?

Is the implication here that by existing in a state other than poverty, and pursuing my own interests, I am raping people?

I think he's just saying, long-windedly, that some people just want to watch the world burn.

[–]FiveMagicBeans 0 points1 point ago

Personal Property

  • Some people's response to someone taking something of there's is to kill the person or to beat them within an inch of their life. Stuff can be acquired again, lives cannot. If you don't believe me, ask a random ten people what they would do if someone stole something of theirs that was really important to them. You'll get 2-3 "call the police", 3-4 "beat the shit out of them" and 1-2 "kill the fucker"

Satisfaction

  • Rape isn't always a result of mental illness (unless you consider being a giant asshole to be a mental illness), especially in a country like South Africa, where its a great deal more common.

Feelings

  • How many people in this world have been killed for jealousy? How many have died due to someone feeling insulted? How many people have gotten seriously hurt because someone didn't like how they looked, how they acted, or their personal beliefs?

If you know I am being sarcastic, what was the sense of the reply? The people whom do not give a shit about anyone other than themselves, are not going to care what this type of PSA has to say, it will fall on deaf ears, and serves no other purpose than to identify all men as rapists, or potential/eventual rapists.

I am sure women would be quite offended if men alluded to them as prostitutes or potential prostitutes. They have all the equipment necessary, they only need to decide to do the act, but they would find it offensive to imply they would even consider doing it.

It is useless and serves no positive purpose.

Let me, manboobz, handle your raging boner. I can help prevent rape by allowing all you men to sexually assualt me. I enjoy it!

I am women's knight in shining armour, as I will take a penis for them. I will take all your raping penisesesesese.

Good to see that there's finally something that I as a man can do to stop rape. Sometimes I keep falling back to my old rapey ways, but these steps will surely keep me on the path of good.

I want to believe that this is satire, but I'm honestly not sure.

[–]Darkling5499 14 points15 points ago

it is, but the satire comes from common feminist rants.

[–]emoprairiedog 2 points3 points ago

I'll say it again. It's all good. At least it serves the purpose of helping us avoid false rape accusation situations. Like, if you are alone in an elevator with a woman, GET OUT. Run away from women alone in parking lots, etc.

That's a really fucking stupid poster.

[–]danxmason 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Wow, it's so simple. All we had to do to stop rape is to tell people to stop raping. I guess we better hand these out to all the prisons and pedophiles and the problem is solved.

Then someone's trolling them. Seriously-- no one can be offering this as serious advice. My mind rebels.

[–]t1k 1 point2 points ago

Yeah it's pretty weird, but it seems they are serious - perhaps it's just an effort to reinforce myths like all men are potential rapists with no self control or something. I don't really get it either. I might ask them as they have a blog which allows comments.

We hope this will help to reverse the popular trend of focusing rape prevention messages on women and instead transfer these towards more appropriate recipients - potential perpetrators.

By 'potential perpetrators' they presumably mean 'all men'.

DON'T SHIT YOUR PANTS!

1- When walking to work, don't drop a fat load of shit in your underpants!

2- Plug your asshole if you don't think you can help yourself!

3- TRY to resist the warm feeling of squishy feces against your hairy butt cheeks!

[–]morinkenmar 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

4- Tell your buddy that you think you have a pants-shitting problem. Let him know when you think you're about to shit your pants so he can tell you not to!

The only way I can stop rape is by initiating rape, and then stopping and frankly I don't want to initiate rape, but if I did I most certainly would not stop until I finished. I mean, if your gonna do something, you should do it right, right?

1) Dont leave ur drinks unattended

2) Obviously

3) DONT Ever pull over to help a woman, refer to (2)

4) Never let a woman enter the lift if you are in it or she WILL acuse you of rape

5) Pls dont do that to men either :)

6) Yeah, having an additional witess on your side that you did not rape her will help if you violate 2,3 or 4 and get a flase accusation of rape

7) I kind of have a fetish for that

8) Can use it when you are raped as well

9) Make sure you sign a contract before having consentual sex

10) Dont have sex, let the human race die!!

How dumb are these people? Why don't they distribute "Only you can stop bank robberies" pamphlets, with such winning tups as, "1: Don't rob banks."

GUH!

go to a busy craigslist personals site (any major city), and search for rape. you will find lots of hits.

shit, post a fake ad offering to provide rape fantasies to women, and you will get many emails.

study:

62% of women have rape fantasies

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19085605

conclusion? women fucking lie about everything.
