11 Tips To Prevent Violence Against Women

In the wake of the Stanford Rapists's Sentencing, and the news of a Colorado teen who killed his girlfriend for breaking up with him

. I've compiled a list of ways to prevent violence against women.

  1. Respect women (Seems like a no brainer, huh.)
  2. If you see a woman walking, don’t attack her
    1. Let her go on her way to wherever she is going. Better yet, offer to walk her home and expect nothing in return except for the knowledge that you did something good.
  3. If you see a woman too drunk to say yes, don’t rape her
    1. If you want to be a good human being, help her. Reunite her with her friends, walk her home, call 911. It is not that hard.
  4. If a woman says no, accept it
    1. Women are not obligated to be interested in you. End of story.
  5. If a woman says she just wants to be friends, accept that.
    1. Women are not machines that you put friendship tokens into and a relationship pops out. If she treats you as a friend, treat her as a friend and don’t pretend like she owes you anything.
  6. If a woman doesn’t want you to touch her, don’t touch her.
    1. “Stop! Don’t touch me there! This is my no-no square!” It’s a rhyme that little girls sing, but its pretty true.
  7. If a woman seems uncomfortable, leave her alone.
    1. If you can’t tell if she’s uncomfortable, ask her outright, or leave her alone. Simple.
  8. If a woman breaks up with you, don’t attack her.
    1. Some relationships don’t work out. No need for violence. Just write in your diary about how much you don’t like her, then build a bridge and get over it.
  9. If a woman asks you to leave her alone, leave her alone.
    1. So at this point, you know you make her uncomfortable. Leave her alone or risk the law intervening.
  10. If a woman wears a revealing outfit, appreciate, don’t hate
    1. If you can’t control yourself around a woman just because her shoulders are bare, then lock yourself in a room until you can play nice.
  11. Don’t be a meninist
    1. This is unlined in my Word document because its not a real thing, defined in urban dictionary instead of Webster’s. “Meninism” is literally a movement against women, which preaches hate and ignorance. If you or someone you know identifies as a meninist, take them to the nearest psychologist so their can get over their sexism and mommy issues.
