Statistically, if you have told a rape joke to a group of more than five people, one of the people you told it to was a rape survivor, possibly of multiple rapes. They will not necessarily disclose this to you; rape apologism is endemic in society and most rape survivors are cautious about whom they tell. Some may even be too ashamed of their rape to admit it to anyone, or because of rape-minimizing narratives like “men can’t be raped” and “I consented to oral, so I couldn’t have been raped” may not admit it even to themselves. The fact remains: if you’ve told dozens of rape jokes in your life, then you have almost certainly told a joke that minimizes or trivializes rape in front of a survivor…

All the awards.
DO ME A HUGE FAVOR AND REBLOG THIS!
These were all around my campus back when I was actually in school! The bf and I often commented on how much of an effective message these posters gave. It’s great to see them again and with such a positive and huge response!
I love everything about these… except the opening line. It makes me feel like they’re playing off the gender stereotype of males being the physically stronger of the sexes… which has never been the case for someone like me, aha…
Support with all my being.
