I think that's where the problem starts - is that we have put the onus on women to protect themselves instead of teaching men and boys that this is inappropriate behavior. If you focus only on the women, then you're doing what is called victim-blaming - and saying, somehow it's your fault that you got raped, and you need to prevent it. -Danielle Currier

Men are the ones responsible for changing the environment. They're the ones who have to say, OK, I'm not going to force a woman to have sex. I'm not going to engage in this behavior. We need to change men's attitudes about how they treat women - even more than we need to teach women how to protect themselves.
