Why is the question never: "What does Johnny need to understand in order to avoid committing a sexual assault?"

If you are a misandrist that has such a low opinion of men that you believe rape is an inevitable part of life, then even you should be able to see that the lesson plan should never state 'What things could Melissa have done differently to avoid being raped''.

There are no risks to being raped apart from being in proximity to a rapist, and that one is impossible to avoid since they don't advertise.

Knittedjest, statistically the best thing Melissa could have done to avoid sexual assault would be to never enter a relationship with a man. Most sexual assaults are committed by the victim’s partner. Same goes for murder.

For the same reason we teach procautions about things like HIV or shark attacks or flash flooding. It isn't our fault if those things happen either but it would be ridiculous to not teach how to lower our risk of it as much as possible. You can't teach boys not to rape. Rapist's know full well they aren't supposed to rape. Nobody ever rapes somebody out of ignorance. So the girls need to protect themselves. And even then rapes will still always happen. It's just an unpleasant fact of life that needs to be accepted and acknowledged. Sticking your fingers in your ears and screaming that it's wrong and unfair and refusing to educate girls on it is not going to change anything.

See, girls, if you joined a convent and never left its grounds, you'd probably avoid bringing assault upon yourselves...

NAMALT, I mean.

Of course, should the girls do any of those things, they'd be accused of man hating because namely.

"(provide at least four examples)" - see girls? There's simply so many ways to avoid bringing this upon yourselves...

If that was my girls' school I'd be outside the Head's door within minutes...
