Diversionary Post #2: Men can stop rape

From Femivist:

Men - women cannot accomplish this on our own. If you hate rape (like many of you say you do), it is not women that you need to convince. It is other men. Just like survivors of sexual violence must speak out about our experiences, people (especially men) who hate rape and the culture that perpetuates it must make their voices heard as well. Which means, staying silent is actually speaking volumes. Looking the other way when you hear a male friend say something demeaning about a woman makes you an accomplice. Going to a strip club with your friends because you don’t want to appear “prude” or “gay” makes you an accomplice. Casually browsing porn on the Internet makes you an accomplice. Driving the getaway car does not make you innocent.

Would it help if you heard it from other men? Fine. Visit SafetyNet to find out what you can do.
