No Does NOT Mean Yes!: "The Language of Assault Appears to Differ by Gender, Why?"

The Subvert

An ad campaign for reducing sexual violence has been released in British Columbia; but with a different message for men and women. Why would different language be used to describe sexual attacks for men than women? Does our culture still subconsciously (or consciously in some cases) put some blame on women for attacks? Why do we need to have reminders like this at all when everyone knows assault is wrong? How can we talk to those who have violent thoughts before they manifest rather than wait until it's too late? Welcome to the land of no easy answers...
If you or anyone you know has been assaulted, there are resources here to help. Don't stay silent, don't "suck it up", reach out today.
