Anti-verkrachtings-reclame in de ban in VS want ‘slachtoffer als schuldige neergezet’

‘She Didn’t Want to Do It, But She Couldn’t Say No.’ Deze anti-verkrachtingsreclame in de VS van Pennsylvania’s Liquor Control Board is in de ban gedaan omdat critici beweren dat de schuld naar het slachtoffer wordt verschoven erin: ze werd dronken en zo vroeg ze er eigenlijk om. Verdiende loon. Jennifer Storm verdedigde de advertentie zo: “Alcohol is the number one drug used to facilitate rape. You lose your capacity to make sound decisions. We need to empower people with every tool and piece of knowledge we have.” Jezebel‘s Erin Gloria Ryna daarentegen: “Rape is not just a bad thing that happens

to someone after drinking too much. It’s a deliberate act on the part of the rapist, a violation of another person committed solely because the rapist wanted to rape. The sooner we acknowledge this, the sooner we’ll be rid of stupid, finger wagging ads like these.” Via Adrants.
