"I am not altogether on anybody's side, because nobody is altogether on my side"

Alot has been said about how to prevent rape. Women should learn self-defense. Women should lock themselves in their houses after dark. Women shouldn't have long hair and women shouldn't wear short skirts. Women shouldn't leave drinks unattended. Those are all individual's choices, but fear shouldn't be the norm.

Instead of putting the responsibility on the woman, how about:

If a woman is drunk, don't rape her.
If a woman is walking alone at night, don't rape her.
If a women is drugged and unconscious, don't rape her.
If a woman is wearing a short skirt, don't rape her.
If a woman is jogging in a park at 5 am, don't rape her.
If a woman looks like your ex-girlfriend you're still hung up on, don't rape her.
If a woman is asleep in her bed, don't rape her.
If a woman is asleep in your bed, don't rape her.
If a woman is doing her laundry, don't rape her.
If a woman is in a coma, don't rape her.
If a woman changes her mind in the middle of or about a particular activity, don't rape her.
If a woman has repeatedly refused a certain activity, don't rape her.

If a woman is not yet a woman, but a child, don't rape her.
If your girlfriend or wife is not in the mood, don't rape her.
If your step-daughter is watching tv, don't rape her. (For that matter, any other activity as well.)
If you break into a house and find a woman there, don't rape her. (And while we're at it, stop breaking into houses.)
If your friend thinks it's okay to rape someone, tell him it's not, and that he's not your friend.

If your "friend" tells you he raped someone, report him to the police.
If your frat-brother or another guy at the party tells you there's an unconscious woman upstairs and it's your turn, don't rape her, call the police and tell the guy he's a rapist.

Tell your sons, god-sons, nephews, grandsons, sons of friends it's not okay to rape someone.

Don't tell your women friends there are ways to to be "safe" and avoid rape.
Don't imply that she could have avoided it if she'd only done/not done x.
Don't imply that it's in any way her fault.
Don't let silence imply agreement when someone tells you he "got some" with the drunk girl.
Don't perpetuate a culture that tells you that you have no control over or responsibility for your actions. You can, too, make your own choices, and they should not include rape.

If you agree, repost it. It's that important.

Alex that hellion! Someone give me a slap on the ass for me ^_^.

got up at 5... got to the air port waited for an hour, left at 740 plane ride = 5 hours or so, but it's only like 2 hours with the time zone, tried to sleep, study, watch saharra head phones= $5(read sleep), got to las vegas, played two dollars worth of virtual poker, and proceded to sit around for another 2 hours? waiting for the next plane... got to fresno and wait 4 more hours for the van/bus... then freaking 2 hour ride to the yosemite bug. Sorry to bore you with all this stuff. Really once I met up with people in fresno it's been wonderful.

remember; slap on the ass!
