Women of #nzpol: still fighting rape culture in 2016

Of course I'm responsible for not being raped, because I'm a good person that does the right things, aren't I amazing?

Wondering if this is the general attitude at The Sophie Eliott Foundation?

Gosh sexual assault rates in Arab countries must be zero if skimpy clothes is the reason for rape. 😒

Let's also not pretend that young women are the only victims. Victims of sexual assault are all ages. Including the elderly. So spare me.

Men must take responsibility for their actions too, or risk being punched in the dick.

Because it's one thing to roll your eyes at a dinosaur's misogyny, it's another to give them a national fucking platform

Yo this article contradicts itself so much it reads like the author is a hallucination of a sexist animal telling riddles @nzherald

If I was a columnist:

'Rapists should not rape.'

That will be $15 per word, thank you.

I can't distill my thoughts on THAT article into anything more eloquent than "Oh just piss right the fuck off".

women, cover yourselves so you're not harassed by men, but not in a burqa or niqab, then you're the threat. https://t.co/XmojLhyhpu

I want Liz Holsted to hear the stories from those of us who should have been 'responsible' and say it again to our faces.

An old point but one that apparently has to be remade : when you suggest that women's clothes play a role in rape, you encourage rapists.

— Stephanie Rodgers (@bootstheory) January 19, 2016

Rapists are listening. They already think their actions are normal. They know it's easy to get away with rape. You are reassuring them.

— Stephanie Rodgers (@bootstheory) January 19, 2016

When they tell themselves they can't help it, she was asking for it, your voice is in their heads. Cheering them on. So … maybe stop?

Ratio of "women should take responsibility for rape" articles to "teach our sons not to rape" ones? About 100:0 #smh https://t.co/OD1MtreF0Q

@nzherald good lord, why would you publish something like this?
