Have your say

First I want to thank this campaign and all involved. I wish that the United States had a similar campaign going. Secondly, the whole point of this campaign as I understand it is to educate or make the point that no matter what is worn or how one acts...rape is never asked for, and it should never have to be expected. I don't care if a woman is stark naked and a prostitute, if she says no or can't say yes...it's rape. She wasn't asking for it. In most societies it is the females' responsibility to make sure she's protected. I once read of something called a rape culture, and in the U.S. where 1 in 4 women will be assaulted in their lives, this rape culture means that we as women always have the worry or the expectation that someday we may be assaulted. I shouldn't have to worry about what I wear or how I act. That is the point of this campaign. It shouldn't be the woman or potential victim's responsibility to not be raped. It should be society's responsibility to teach men or potential rapists that women never, ever ask to be forced into sex. Again, I don't care if I am completely naked and working as a prostitute, if I don't say yes or if I say no...it's rape.
