I hate this poster. It reads "Date Rape 1 in 4 women will become victims of rape. 84% of them will know their assailant. THINK AGAIN" Its a very informative poster until you get to the THINK AGAIN. That part of the poster almost seems to be pointing the finger at the victim. Like the woman could do something to protect herself. If only that was easy. Date Rape is painted as naive girls that put their drinks down at parties and are slipped a roofie. Date Rape is more than that. Date Rape is also knowing your rapist and being completely aware and taken control of and being disregarded and having someone you know and maybe someone that you care about using your body as if its a piece of meat. That's what happened to me. I'm sick of feeling like its my fault. http://www.thisisby.us/index.php/content/date_rape
