Sexual Assault PSA

[emhahn32]

I was sexually assulted)':

It was at school.

They didn't do anything to him, just suspended him for 5 days. And the cops were called. I have to go to court with him. He said he already went. To make it worse im changing schools, and he is changing to the same one. I have to see him everyday):

My HR manager often talks about an incident at his previous employer.

He was giving an attractive 24YO woman her half-year review when she suddenly threatened a sexual assault charge unless she got an immediate 30% pay rise.

Fortunately, he was secretly taping the conversation. He calmly locked the door & subjected her to a brutal 45min sexual attack. Of course she ran to the police screaming rape, but they just laughed when they heard her threat, saying no jury would ever convict…

I feel as though this video is victim blaming - a woman has a right to get drunk and not be raped. It is still NOT her fault!

[Kkempinski]

Unbelievable sweetbug "women should be able to do what they want, dress what they want, go where they want and not have to worry about being raped. " I guess the opposite of that, men are responsible to have legal copy along with signature verification and license verfication available, along with a breathalizer available to deter "unwanted" advances. What were you thinking guys? That a woman could actually be interested while intoxicated? Rediculous rapist!

[jizzmaskia]

wanna no sumthin even more creppy? im 13 and there 16 and i cant tell my parents. YAAY!

[noplacespecial]

i would really encourage you to tell someone - not only will it help you to deal with what happened, but other people should be warned about the person that did this to you.

[RaidenTheAlmighty]

Why cant you tell anybody?

[jizzmaskia]

I was sexualy abused in a movie theater with over 70 people in there, just 1 meter away from them all. Those bastered heard it but ignored.

[noplacespecial]

im so sorry to hear that, that's terrible :(

[Kkempinski]

"clearly intoxicated" remind me how I am supposed to know someone is clearly intoxicated when I am drunk myself? Also, how am I supposed to know when a person is incapable of making decisions for themselves? Wait for the DA or the court to determine it? I think women need to speak up if they are drunk and do not want to have sexual contact. If a person is incapacitated, completely different subject.

[noplacespecial]

youre not making informed decisions either, if youre drunk. i know it might be a hardship, but maybe DON'T go around having drunken one-night stands. why is the thought of sober sex so terrifying? wouldnt you rather know, 100%, that the other person really truly wants to sleep with YOU, rather than wondering if theyre just too drunk to care?

[Kkempinski]

ridiculous. Drunk sex is fun and pleasing. Please speak up and don't be a slut if you choose. Don't blame the guy if you're a drunken slut (who is fully capable of making choices).

[Kkempinski]

I think it's ridiculous that men take all the blame when a woman was "too drunk". Put yourself in the guys position what are we supposed to do have u sign a waiver and take a pbt? If u were assaulted or raped that is horrible, but please remember you can say no at any time, please let us guys know.

[noplacespecial]

what are guys supposed to do? for starters, dont have sex with women who are too drunk to make informed decisions.

[Kkempinski]

"its not my fault, I was drunk" BULLSHIT, say that after you get in a car and kill someone, take responsibility for your actions.

[noplacespecial]

That creates a fairly slippery slope into victim-blaming; which, despite what others seem to think, was never the intentional message. But, regardless of gender really, if a person has sex with someone who is clearly intoxicated beyond the point of control? Then yes, they have taken advantage of them.

[VolParagom]

Rapists should be killed. All of them. Rape is worse than murder - When someone is murdered, they don't have to relive their horror every day of their lives. Rape victims do. Rapists are dispicable, evil people who should be dowsed in kerosine and set on fire, have the fire be put out, and let them lie there in their suffering. That should happen to them every day until they starve to death.

[kbby7]

encouraging rape is sickening. Whether the woman or girl put herself in a possible situation of being sexually assualted does not give any reason for men to use the circumstances to rape her. If they do not want to have sex or are passed out, unaware of whats going on, it is not in any way okay or right.

[VIOLENTANTAGONIST]

OH SHIT!This must mean that females do have a hole in them that is made for insertion with a penis and men can put it in them even when females don't want it just like other mammals do!HOLY SHIT! That's fucked up! DAMN.WHAT A VIOLATION OF PRIMAL NATURE! I mean, no wait, I'm incorrect...WHAT A VIOLATION OF THE LAW! I mean, wait, that's only if the man is charged AND found guilty...WHAT A VIOLATION OF...THE FEMALE'S HUMANITY! DAMN. SHE'LL FEEL SHE'S AN ANIMAL AND NOT INVULNERABLE! SHIT! FUCKED UP!

[Winthorpej]

Whoa. "Violentantagonist" is seriously the right nic for that guy.

[abuseisnotlove]

Its only implien to watch your drink.. she was druged. people need to learn to be more cautious about that.. its not degrading to women in anyway.

[noplacespecial]

THANK YOU, I'm glad someone gets it!

[shermanvolvo]

Noplacespecial, how do you think survivors of sexual violence will feel when they view this? "If you drank, you were reckless, you contributed to your assault."

I am sick and tired of the focus of sexual violence PSAs being on the behaviour of the survivors.

[sweetbug28]

the thing i dont like about this one... is it promotes a common: victim blaming... by saying "protect yourself" here its implying that she should dress different... not drink... not go out... etc... and thats not fair. women should be able to do what they want, dress what they want, go where they want and not have to worry about being raped. its not her fault... dont blame her... dont tell her to change or do something different... blame the guy who made the bad choice.

[noplacespecial]

i'm not saying that "she was asking for it". but "blame the guy who made the bad choice" doesn't quite cut it when the woman makes bad choices herself. certainly, no one would ever choose to be raped. but bad decisions while drunk are still bad decisions, which was our message - women need to take heed, especially when their judgement is impaired, so that they don't let themselves blunder into situations where rape is more likely to occur.

[sweetbug28]

i totally understand what you are saying here... but i do a lot of work in this area... and the hardest thing to combat is the victim blaming and self blaming... its a hard concept to grasp because we want to say that we can control wot happens to us... but the reality is... only rapist can stop rape. period

[noplacespecial]

i get that - i have way too many friends that have been victims. but we CAN control what happen to us. we CAN make responsible decisions when it comes to drinking. it will not prevent rape entirely, but it will prevent girls (young college girls mainly, the target audience of this psa) from putting themselves into careless situations. we all make mistakes. but if women watch out more carefully for themselves and each other, it greatly diminshes our risk.

[jennaow]

I agree with you sweetbug. We need to make the best choices for ourselves, but I would prefer seeing sexual assault PSA's that curtailed the belief's of those who commit the act. There seems to be more messages telling women to protect themselves, instead of targetting issues at the core of nonconsenual acts and providing more awareness as to why rape continues to happen.

[SwimmerGal161718]

I agree sweetbug28. Women have the right to dress and act how they want without attracting sexual attention. I've learned through research and councelling that it's never the victims fault. We're called victims for a reason. The one who makes the choice, aka is the assaulter, is completely responsible, and the crime belongs on their conscience. Thank you sweetbug28 for having a heart and decent morals.

[DreamerPGG0]

You sir, are a baby. (worst insult for a powerhungry pig) Go rape your face.

[aguilafalsa]

[fartknocker172]
