As a rape victim I find this advert fairly insensitive. Sure, it's going to shock people into thinking about rape a lot, but for actual rape victims like myself it's easily going to give them flash backs and make them relive it.

This ad did indeed leave me in tears while I was in the cinema and shaken up for quite a while afterwards.

@packoftwenty Women aren't all desperate to go out and have a good time nor are they all in possession of loose morals or low self-esteem that lead them to do 'anything to get a man'. Like anybody else in the world, they have the right to enjoy themselves. Leaving the house does not give some sicko the right to hurt them and FYI:

The majority of rapes in the UK are commited by people the victim knew.

Go figure.

Guess it isn't all that clubbing after all.

As much as I agree that men are in danger, they are not in as much danger as women, simply for the fact that women raping men is extremely rare due to the logistics of it, and gay men are the minority.

@FabulousFace123

Yeah, but it might save thousands of women from going through the same thing as you?

How the fuck does this get made in a (relatively) progressive, educated country? How did noone in the MANY people it takes to write, produce and approve an advertising campaign not think "Wait, maybe this is a bad idea"

This ad right here. The worst ad. Everyone else has already said why.

@aussiumo Men can and have been be sexually assaulted. It's just as dangerous for them as it is for women. I'd avoid them all together if I were you.
