This Is Not an Invitation to Rape Me
Written by Tara Tainton

Few things get me more riled up than hearing a man, even a fellow woman, and especially an authority figure starting a comment with "well, if you didn't dress that way, then..." or ending a statement with "well, she was asking for it." Puh-lease!

The fact of the matter is that all of us, regardless of our sex, race, etc. and even regardless of where we choose to live, how we choose to dress, or whether we choose to arm ourselves or not, deserve the same rights, freedoms, safety, and respect as everyone else. The bottom line is that we're all humans and deserve the same treatment. And, my god, if a woman chooses to dress in a more revealing, sexy, confident, or even exhibitionist manner, let's all be mature enough to acknowledge first, that does not merit the conclusion that she's intentionally inviting or asking to be disrespected or harmed in any way whatsoever and second, that does not conclude that she deserves mistreatment or disrespect in any manner.

Thus, when I came across an ad campaign marketed by the Los Angeles Commission on Assaults Against Women (LACAAW), I thought, "now, those people get it." This particular campaign targets the ignorant public with close-minded and discriminating beliefs and habits pertaining to females as both victims of sexual assault and the cause of that same harm when acted upon them. The campaign is aptly titled "This Is Not an Invitation to Rape Me" and expressed in several poster images.

The images are striking in their accuracy in conveying those stereotypical scenarios in which women are declared victims or even invitations to potential attackers. From showing skin or affection to working in the sex industry or committing to a first date or even marriage... it's not an invitation to rape us. In the very near future, these same ads will be available for purchase in poster form at the LACAAW online store, or you can grab one now through their catalog (PDF file). I think the US Midwest definitely needs to see these...

Tara, You are so correct . . . there is NEVER an invitation to rape anyone . . .consenting sex is always "consenting" (even if it fantasizes rape scenarios) . . . were a woman to walk down the street naked it STILL would never justify rape . . . there are always boundary lines which are always to be honored and respected and even assumed . . . and just because someone sees an attractive or alluring or even erotic looking woman (or man perhaps) sexual rape is never an option nor is it "subtly invited".

We've been at it in England too, raising the awareness that women must consent or a man could end up in prison - Sex consent campaign targets men.
No means No. Wherever and whenever.

It's the times when yes also means no that it becomes a problem. The date rape drugs that seem to be prolific are to blame too. Who are the tits that use this fucking stuff?! Arseholes.

Tara, if I weren't so afraid of being raped or at least verbally harassed or disrespected, or misunderstood to be a "slut or ho" (and thus being seen as a potential target for rape, verbal rudeness, or disrespect), I'd dress much more revealingly. I'd publish all those nude photos of myself. I'd say whatever, I'd talk freely about my sexual yearnings in public.... but I'd do it tastefully and respectfully. I'd reveal my breasts and legs much more often. I'd wear my sexy clothes... all those sexy clothes I've bought but don't wear outside ***because of what thoughtless jerks might say or do to or about me***!!! My God.... Tara thank you for bringing this up. I read one of those links from one of your Sugasm Alerts.... the Canadian woman wrote about Rape Fantasies.... Men have them too, apparently... Rape Fantasies are NOT a desire to hurt or be hurt! Somebody responding on a blog said, "If you're disturbed by your rape fantasies, look at t...
