A local community safety group has posted this on their facebook page today and i would like to offer them an alternative non victim blaming poster to use.

Is there such a thing?

"Make yourself clearly understood" by

  • announcing, at an adequate volume and with perfect diction, "I do not wish to have any kind of sexual contact with you or any of your acquaintances for the forseeable future"; or
  • administering a hearty kick in the balls to any man who looks in your direction

or preferably both, repeating as necessary.
Anything less and you're basically asking for it and it's your own fault if you get raped innit.
Way to victim blame.

Yep nodding. That exactly. It is so depressing.

I love the last point "dont go off with someone you've just met" yeah because we all know that someone you already know wouldnt rape you Hmm

swaldman.livejournal.com/175598.html This poster campaign was pretty good - though this link was the least amount of male indignance I could find, and some of the other posters addressed consent versus non-consent even once someone is in bed with you. The posters aren't on Lambeth's website any more, sadly.

It is awful empire. I posted the two links buffy gave me and they have now posted the "dont be that guy" one. Tbh i am going to stop following the FB page as they seem to post whatever vague references to safety they come across without any thought as to the message it is sending. they have already offended quite a few people with a suicide poster they shared.

I know you asked for posters, but if you also want to send them a video for their page, there is . It gets the message across perfectly.
