‘Don’t Be That Guy’ ad campaign cuts Vancouver sex... →
The message on the poster is blunt. A young woman in red tights and a skimpy black dress is flaked out on the edge of a couch, her head turned away. A few wine bottles are on the floor.
“Just because she isn’t saying no doesn’t mean she is saying yes,” the poster says. “Sex without consent = sexual assault. Don’t Be That Guy.”
The poster is one of three that went up at bars and around the city...

fuckyeahfeminists:
My sexual knowledge was so limited that I was actually one of those preteens who thought that you could get pregnant from a toilet seat. I always assumed that was the reason why male and female bathrooms were separated. I also thought that you could get STDs from pool water, and believed that babies are birthed through the anus. It took a while for me to find out...

~Feminist on A War Path
