Instead of what women should or should not do... [View All]

What advice would I give men?

(1) Don’t get drunk unless you either know that you do not become aggressive when drunk or unless you have a trusted (and stronger than you) sober friend who will restrain you if you do become aggressive.

(2) If you plan on having sex, make certain that you do not get drunk or high or whatever enough that your ability to comprehend whether or not your partner has consented is impaired.

(3) Do not make close friends with anyone or any group who displays tendencies that make you think he would be a rapist; you don’t want to get into a situation where you friend or friends ask you to get involved in a gang rape. Plus, if you need to turn one of them in to the police later, not being a friend will make it a lot easier.

(4) Do not take substances that are known to cause aggressiveness (e.g. anabolic steroids) outside of genuine medical need.

(5) Actively intervene if you see a man trying to attack a woman (I have actually done this - intervened, that is). At the very least, call the police.
