And that is part of my point! Prevention PSA's should focus on stopping rape. PERIOD! This one, like your earlier remarks, focus on one target group (think Muslims are the only ones who are profiled?), and one perpetrator (did you know that most anti-Semitism actually doesn't come from Muslims?). I don't have a problem with PSA's that are specific, even to gender, but the point that Bonobo was making is he didn't feel it was effective and was a poor PSA. You made it a personal attack on his opinions that he is some woman-hating asshole without offering up so much as a rebuttal, which is my second, and primary point in my first post to you.
I will add, not only is male rape rarely discussed, it is often ridiculed (even for male children ("Oh, how lucky to have that hot teacher bone him!" ). It's even worse, IMO, for gay men (we were asking for it, and yes that has been said to me). Finding a PSA lacking doesn't indicate one thinks female survivors are less than or that male rape is more deserving of attention.
