Telling every woman to get a gun is not rape prevention. The reality is that we need to be changing how we train and teach young men. We need to teach them to see women as human beings and respect their bodily autonomy. We need to teach them about consent and to hold themselves accountable.

Zerlina Maxwell, who is facing serious harassment and threats after appearing on Fox News to talk about assault prevention focused on would-be perpetrators rather than victims (via sparkamovement)

She received rape threats for telling men not to rape women, as a survivor herself. If that isn’t indicative of how badly we need to fix our rape culture and end victim blaming, then I don’t know what is.
