University ad tells students to blow warning whistle before committing rape
Story here. Excerpt:
'The University of Colorado, Boulder (CU) has distributed fliers around campus suggesting that potential rapists should blow a whistle before they rape a fellow student.
The Wardenburg Student Health Center distributed the literature, which tells readers “[t]he only use for a rape whistle is: If you are about to rape someone, warn them. Blow the whistle.”
The bottom of the university approved sign ridicules the idea of the rape whistle, claiming whistle distribution contributes to “rape culture” and blames the victim in the case of sexual assault.
“Distributing these whistles for other reasons says 1) that strangers are the likely perpetrators of sexual assault 2) that the targeted person is primarily responsible for their assault. And who thinks that?'

Safety Week
I really hope they stop having safety week at Universities. You know, that event where they teach students how to avoid hazards. Isn't teaching someone how to take precautions to avoid bad things from happening "victim-blaming"?
Don't teach students to be safe!
Teach hazards not to hazard!
