Today is blog against sexual violence day.

Violence against women is always unacceptable.

If she's wearing a short skirt she's not "asking for it".
If she's had a couple of drinks, she's not "asking for it".
If she's had sex before, she's not "asking for it". No matter how often or with how many men.
If she's on a date with you she's not "asking for it".
If you've bought her a drink, she's not "asking for it".
If she's walking alone at night she's not "asking for it".
If she's nice to you she's not "asking for it".

There are many other situations I'm sure I've missed. If you don't have her undoubted consent then it's rape and it's wrong. Unfortunately in our society people are still too quick to blame the victim.

Let's look to a world where a woman can go out at night, on her own if she so wishes, perhaps have a couple of drinks, wear what she wants and be confident that she will come to no harm.

Let's look to a world where date-rape and marital rape also does not happen.
