Because a bloke walking around in nothing but a pair of shorts isn’t perceived as to be ‘asking for it’. Is it not obvious?

Au contraire.

Well they *are* very sexy socks, I guess.
d'oh
if I saw a woman walking about in Ireland with only shorts on I’d think she has metal problems
MoyestWithExcitement
Ok then

Metal problems…
Like an iron deficiency?
coco
Brass neck more like, wha?
PaddyM
Metal fatigue due to rust?
FreshFish
Thrash metal or speed metal?
topsy
Most likely would.

i’m sorry, but any bloke walking round with his jumper tucked into his pants, or wears socks with sandals, or shoes with a tracksuit, is totally asking for it.
Neilo
Such a chap would be asking for a severe style audit. The report is in: fashion fail!
Talismania!

He’s helping to hold the sign up.

solidarity? lads who think “if I’m not asking for it, neither is she” and “why are her nips indecent and mine aren’t?”
hooray for slutwalk!
Caroline
I like my nips being indecent.
I luxuriate in it.
According to police reports (details of which I dispute).
fran
i think i want to date you
Cup of tea anyone
Who was it that to make topless photos more decent they replaced the ladies nips with mens?
I think it was to highlight what you are asking.
Cause a woman’s nips are the dangerous part
Mostly everyone but especially anyone who uses the words “asking” or “deserved” in any conversation about rape.
rotide
I agree.
People should be asking>b/> for better and more deserved sentancing for rape and similar offences instead of making moronic comments like yours.

“Why is there a dude in this photo?”
Maybe because it is an inclusive idea. Maybe it will lessen the “Us Vs Them” mentality. There’s probably a few reasons they did it. Maybe.
coco
Because eye candy? basic marketing sense.
some old queen
Sorry lads but I am confused. What is this march actually about?
meadowlark
Well… since you asked so nicely. It is about consent. Sexual consent. For example; Me in my sexy wee dress does not mean I’m ok with someone coming up and assuming I’m all up for sex when I’m not, simply based on what I wear. And similarly, my sexy but hypothetical mate Tom who is wearing his delightful denim shirt may not consent to sex based on what he is wearing. We both need to say Yes first. It is also directed at people who say that those who are raped or assaulted are to blame because they wore a short skirt or sexy shirt on a night out. Basically, regardless of your gender, and what you wear, consent is the most important thing.
meadowlark
Perhaps I am proud of my legs and it makes me feel good to wear a skirt. That does not mean I am in any way obligated to have sex with anyone. This, I believe, is the point they are trying to make. Your choice of clothing does not indicate consent.
FreshFish
No one said anything about obligated. I asked you the question not them. If you dress sexy why don’t you feel sexy?
meadowlark
But that’s precisely what I’m trying to say. In my case it does make me feel good to wear a skirt. I do like my legs. I think they’re sexy. And I’m content with me being the only person who thinks that. If others do too, great. Doesn’t mean I’m asking for one of them to have sex with me though.
FreshFish
Is it not a bit presumptuous to think that because you think you look sexy other people are categorised by you into being freaks and feral beasts who must clearly have only one thing on their mind and that is to hop on you and hump you to kingdom come?
meadowlark
Well no because I don’t look at every guy I see, for example, and think potential rapist. Nor do I presume that when a guy looks at me he thinks, I’m so overcome I must have her, caveman. No. That attitude won’t change a thing. This is about changing the attitudes of people who believe that people who have been raped brought it on themselves by dressing in ‘sexy’ clothes. There is no way to disguise the fact that rape is a violation of the most disgusting kind.
FreshFish
Accept that but I’m not sure that this approach while it may gain attention will concentrate minds. It’s a bit too clever I would have thought. Would be interesting to do a survey on it though.
Stephanenny
I think the people who are declaring all men rampant rapists are actually those who think that a woman wearing a mini skirt was asking for it – because clearly she should have known that men can’t possibly help themselves if more than 1/3 of a thigh is on show. It’s insulting to us all.
Lorcan Nagle
And who exactly has decalred all men to be rampant rapists?
Bill
Feminazi’s
meadowlark
Well no. Its not just about women. It is also about the fact that men get raped too. And most nice reasonable men and women will presume that the average person they meet is similarly a nice reasonable person too, and not a rapist. It is dreadfully unfair to both genders to presume something like that. And part of the problem too, I’d guess.
Lorcan Nagle
Ah right, fictional people then.
Serval
If a woman is naked on a nude beach does it mean she consents to sex with whoever wants to have sex with her?
These things are self evident to decent, reasonable people.
Posters like this won’t change scummy bottomholes.
some oldf queen
Tnx meadowlark . This may be understood on campus but the message needs to be spelled out a little more clearly for the rest of us. That women are not asking for it and neither are men. Men get raped too.
meadowlark
They do. It is not even mentioned mostly. And *hopefully* this will raise awareness of that.
jonotti
If you leave your door open then don’t be surprised if somebody helps themselves to its contents. There are bad people out there so I think we should all do our best to mitigate the risks.
meadowlark
I suppose awareness is good start then
Soft like
How many sluts go to UCD and why do they deserve a walk? Especially those male sluts they are the worst with there std’s and there sti’s. Double wrap it buddy and get off tinder ya slut.
FreshFish
They’re both gorgeous
Sheikh Yabooti
Happened to pass by the mustering point for the Chicago one of these a few months ago; stopped to enjoy the ranty Westboro types across the street, unfortunately the best we can probably expect here is an apologetic “down with that sort of thing” from Ógra Fianna Fáil types.
Lorcan Nagle
In terms of having a man in the photo as well: Men can be the victims of sexual assault as well, and in many cases get treated worse than women in terms of after care, treatment by people who know what happened and and self-acceptance. In the US, the legal definition of rape excluded men until 2012, for example.
meadowlark
Jaysus that’s appalling.
Lorcan Nagle
To make things worse, one of the few groups who actually do talk about the sexual (and domestic) abuse of men are MRAs, but for the most part they steadfastly refuse to do anything about it like raise awareness, start support groups or lobby – it’s just one more thing they use to rant about feminism.
Of course, almost all the advances in supporting male victims of abuse have actually been instigated by feminist organisations.
FreshFish
MRAs I love them oul stereotypes
Lorcan Nagle
Personally I don’t. They may act in stereotypical fashion, but they’re doing an awful lot of harm to men and setting back progress areas in which men do actually need better safeguards and more respect.

Indeed they were. Missed your chance there.
