Rape is about power. If threatened by a rapist, offer to endorse him for political office if he agrees not to rape you. ---

Become a man. Then, if you get raped, you can rape them back. ---

Well the fact that you chose to be a woman means that you are consenting to sex. The fact that I’m born a man, means that I will occasionally have to rape someone, you know, because they asked for it and I’m very very polite. Rape, it’s the polite thing to do. ---

I’ve had my DNA spliced with a sea cucumber, so when attacked I can explosively expel my intestines at the attacker. Repels all but the most determined rapist. > **[Sea Cucumber Evisceration!

Just ask your attacker to marry you. If romantic comedies are to be believed, the mere mention of the word ‘marriage’ will send any man screaming off in the opposite direction. ---

Tell the rapist you’re a prostitute and you’ll have to charge him if he has sex with you. ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > Tell the rapist you’re a prostitute and you’ll have to charge him if he has sex with you. That’s a good one. Then if he does not pay you, you can have him charged with fraud, which will be taken much more seriously than rape. ---

Act huffy and then when he asks what’s wrong, say you shouldn’t have to tell him, he should already know. Men hate that. ---

If you’re out at a bar, take a drink from a random man’s drink instead of your own each time you’re thirsty. A rapist never roofies himself. ---

Never go out at night - a simple way to address this is to spend Winter at the South Pole and Summer at the North Pole. ---

Detach your vagina and leave it somewhere safe before doing things like jogging, clubbing, or sitting quietly at home. ---

If i could > work out how to insert a roll eye smiley from my phone it would be here I think a lot of these patronizing platitudes and chestnuts of “wisdom” are proffered because people realize how hopeless it is to stop rape with a PSA campaign. You might as well run “Did you know? Rape is a crime! Don’t rape!”, its whistling past the graveyard. I don’t even think it is malicious.
