Men Can Stop Rape’s new College Bystander Intervention campaign.
Actual good anti rape campaign posters! They don’t shame victims, they ask people to examine their own actions and inactions and protect their friends. And not in a gross excuse for chivalry either, just as people keeping people safe.
I like this.
Yep I agree. I also like how it’s not tying a man taking action around rape to some imaginary alpha male/hypermasculine sort of thing. Like a real man would do such and such.
Hey look! It’s an anti-rape campaign based on being a decent human being! In all seriousness, this is marvelous. I bolded the above for emphasis.
These are awesome. They are probably my favourite of these sort of campaigns because they are about standing up for and to your friends. They aren’t talking about stranger danger, as if it was the biggest threat to people. They are giving their scenarios names, and I think that’s really important. It makes people stop and consider ‘are people i know being arseholes? what can I do to stop it?’
and they aren’t suggesting that dudes all become white knights and save helpless women from ravishers.
it’s literally ‘you have power in a situation, use it to aid others or prevent harm’
Everything
i’m just happy that they give womyn NAMES in this campaign!!!
