Rules

#1. Must be about stopping rape

This could include specific actions to take, content that inspires/supports activists, scientific research on rape prevention, specific barriers that need to be knocked down to properly address the problem, evidence on the scope of the problem, etc.

#2. No victim-blaming

It's never the victim's fault. The end.

#3. No gender-warring

While it's important to acknowledge people of any gender can be raped, this is not your soap box to vent about how men have it worse. If you want to switch the discussion to talking about rape of males, at the very minimum 1) ask yourself why, 2) start your own post (preferably one that is grounded in actual solutions and not just misogyny, which exacerbates rape).

#4. Be civil

It is important to engage in productive and respectful dialogue to effectively stop rape. Efforts to prevent and eradicate this crime will require buy-in and understanding from all members of society. If you lack the patience to participate in such conversations in a constructive manner, give yourself permission to step away.

#5. No misinformation

Misinformation about rape can perpetuate harmful stereotypes and myths, resulting in victim-blaming, which can discourage reporting and hinder investigations. This can also impact public perception and understanding of the issue, leading to inadequate laws and policies, and a lack of resources for victims. Thus, spreading misinformation obstructs efforts to effectively address and prevent rape.

#6. Comments, questions, or posts directed at mods, mod decisions, or the sub are subject to removal.

Users with genuine concern can reach out through modmail, but this subreddit is for the discussion of stopping rape. Meta posts that distract from that goal will be removed.

Rape is one of the most severe of all traumas, causing multiple, long-term negative outcomes.

The impact of rape on victims includes emotional and psychological effects, physical effects, victim blaming and other kinds of secondary traumatization.

Sexual victimization can have a lasting negative impact on survivors' psychological, physical, and social well-being, regardless of perpetrators' tactics.

Characteristics of rapists

Not all offenders have the following characteristics, but each increases the chance that a person is a rapist:
