When it comes to sexual assault, victim blaming is common. According to Newman, this places nearly all the responsibility to prevent sexual assault on potential victims: women. We always see the prevention tips to avoid being assaulted, but this poster flips the responsibility to a potential assaulter.

One person writes: "Whew! That was a close one. Being a man, I am only inches away from anonymously raping every woman that I see. Thanks liberals and feminazis from saving female kind from me." I was quite surprised to see responses like these, as it seems the only people who should be offended are assaulters.
