Scottish Government Funds Male Hate Poster Campaign

Story here. Excerpt:

'A feminist group has published a list of ‘top ten tips’ for preventing rape that include “don’t put drugs in women’s drinks” and “if you pull over to help a woman whose car has broken down, remember not to rape her.”

The list was created by Rape Crisis Scotland, a charity which works to support local rape centres, and provides training and consultancy to the police, Crown office and health services on how to deal with rape victims and perpetrators.

Their website claims that the charity “provides crisis support for anyone in Scotland affected by sexual violence at any time in their lives.” However, it is abundantly clear that the charity believes all rape victims to be female, and all perpetrators male.

The list was re-published this month by a student feminist group at Cyprus College, California in their publication GenderSmash. The publication claims to avoid material that “reeks of hateful political ideology, religious doctrine, or familiar and uninspiring arguments,” yet it was happy to publish what amounted to a clear attempt to demonise men.

Other tips include “USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM! If you are not able to stop yourself from assaulting people, ask a friend to stay with you while you are in public”; and “Carry a whistle! If you are worried that you might assault someone ‘by accident’ you can hand it to the person you are with, so they can call for help.”

According to the Office of National Statistics, 1.2 million women and 800,000 men experienced domestic violence in 2011/12, although again male victimisation is likely to be under-reported. In the same year, 68 percent of murder victims were male, and the male rate of suicide is three times that of the female rate.'
