Date rape nail polish

I'll just second all this.

A lot of people view "how to deal with rape?" as something that should be answered with, "What tools can we give to women...?" (which isn't likely to reduce the actual numbers much, because rapists shift focus to more vulnerable targets), rather than, "How can we educate people- especially men- on how consent works and not to rape?"

I mean, the nailpolish is cool and all, but something like the Don't Be That Guy campaign cut rapes in an area by 10%, with posters. Think about that! Just putting up posters advising people what rape is, and telling them not to, had a double-digit percentage reduction.

The most effective method is education, and people should be aware of that, and the nailpolish, while neat, is the type of thing that some people would rather focus on instead of education.

Ontario has had a really good campaign as well recently.

Yeah.

If someone is buying this special nail polish then you'd think it'd make them pretty worried about getting into a state where they get taken advantage of.

Also the biggest story around where I am was this guy spiking some virgin or something's drink and then getting the shit kicked out of him after he was done with her. She was a mess and someone was tending to her in a trailer (it was a huge party at the lake). I saw her before and after. Plus I've heard of a lot of cases of it but the people were so big into drugs that they didn't care. It's not like it doesn't exist. Hell my straight arrow male friend got drugged once. He did not know what was going on.

The nail polish is just trying to help some girls. It's a well intentioned product by people that think it will help. It's not going to stop alcholism or just outright rape but it will help in some capacity or at the very least make you extra careful. Also it's nail polish. You can't expect miracles from paint. It's not meant to be a cure all, it's just meant to help.

Exactly.

TBH, I find the whole "teach men not to rape" thing to be abhorrent, sexist, and borderline insulting. No, actually insulting.

But that's just imo, as I'm sure many will disagree.

No, its pretty insulting.

It's not really insulting at all. Just a fact of what's wrong in society. Boys in our society are socialized in a way to violate women's boundaries and not even being aware of it. Teaching boys and men what rape is (i.e. not the tired old stranger jumping you in an alley myth) helps significantly to reduce rape. Not just because these men might not rape then, but also because men are able to spot and shut down this behaviour in others. Consent is something that needs to be taught much more thoroughly (actually to both genders, not just men, but it has a bigger impact when taught to men), it would lead to less rapes, and it would lead to more fulfilling relationships with women, which is a problem for many men.

Thats very open minded of you. 👆

Plus hey, it's not just about male rape. WOMEN can commit rape too, especially against other women. Females raping males is also actually a thing, but most people don't want to focus on it.

While that can happen, it is much, much less common. At any rate, while it is often phrased in opposition to the common "what can women do to stop rape" the implementations are usually teaching both boys and girls about consent and teenagers and adults about respecting sexual boundaries.

Women raping men and boys (while, again much less common) has its own very specific set of problems, usually perpetrated by men congratulating the victim or celebrating the victims sexual prowess, which can confuse the victim and do a lot of emotional harm. You can see these displays regularly on KMC about "hot" teachers sleeping with their male students.

Well I think they both face problems. Men with the whole "high fiving" and women face problems via their friends and family implying maybe it is their own fault.

Though I guess I'd wonder..if you are super into date rape and read about this..wouldn't you just find a drug the polish doesn't detect?

Don't you find it odd that everyone in CBVF says your posts are trash?

If you had me on ignore, you would not bother posting" proof" you can't see what I post, directly responding to my posts.. Your only fooling yourself, trash poster 2015.

I agree. When a man rapes a woman, it's a man's fault, and when a woman rapes a man, it is also a man's fault. 👆

Yep, it just reminds me of the "Cracked" website. I don't know how many people here read it and IMO it has gone drastically down in quality in the last few years. But anyways, recently(within the last year) they had two articles. One talking about female rape and another talking about a man getting raped by a woman. These were not released on the same day, but they did have people who were a victim of rape that they talked to in each article.

So the one about the man getting raped..they had to actually close down the comments section for that article. For those not familiar with Cracked, this RARELY happens and that should tell you something, because the comments section there rivals youtube in the type of stuff you get and yet they rarely close the comments. Yet there was so much hate against this article and this guy..they had to close the comment section. In fact, the only other article I recall having the comments section closed was one about pedophiles or something. But not "traditional" ones, but rather people who were labeled "pedophiles" due to a case of statutory rape.

Side note, they did eventually open up the comment section back up for the article some months later.

Most of us dont cyber stalk eachother across two boards for over 6 months after getting put on ignore, "expose" each other's real names, attack eachother's wife, kids, parents, and go on racial tirades.
Most of us.
So, when some of us have a little fun by occasionslly posting a screencap, they enjoy the self important reactions of their fellow posters at them doing so.

😂

How would you know, you have me on ignore remember..your not fooling anyone but yourself. Its fun to make you work extra hard to read my posts and then say you cant see them, then come and cry about it revealing you have been reading them.

Retard.

Cant hear a word you're saying. 😄

Wasn't talking to you, jackoff.
