Michael it’s tips to Prevent from Assaulting people!

It’s a play on the title, most times u hear tips for NOT being assaulted but this is taking the side of the victim and saying it’s not your concern NOT to be assaulted, it’s people who assault who should b taking precautions!

I think the list is funny b/c it shows how ridiculous violating someone’s answer is. Like we learn this at age 2 – no means no! People who don’t understand that need to be spoken to like babies

For that reason I love #9

Thanks Kathryn, I like this re-post 2

Michael, I think that’s the point. The second-to-last paragraph states it best: “And [tips for preventing sexual assault], while helpful at reducing risk, don’t place any responsibility on the people who are committing sexual assault, which really limits how effective they are on a larger scale.”

Great re-post. And hey, there’s nothing wrong with re-posting a topic if it’s relevant and properly credited!

I think it’s pretty silly sounding for tips to end with “Don’t Assault them!” or “Remember not to assault them.” Or if you think your going to assault someone blow the whistle. Seems like the roles are reversed.

It could’ve been phrased a lot better. Most of the tips are for the perpetrators rather than the victims.
