Today in rape culture, OK ed.

An Oklahoma Daily article discussing a sexual assault incident decides that victim blaming is more important than just letting people know to NOT RAPE: 

OUPD advises students to take precautions to avoid incidents like these.

“Trust your instincts,” Chan said. “Those would be my parting words.”

Being alert and aware of your environment can help you avoid finding yourself in an uncomfortable situation.

If you do find yourself in an uncomfortable situation, be assertive about what you want or leave.

The language in the article is just one of the reasons cases of sexual assault go widely reported on college campuses. One should “trust their instincts”? How about “hey assholes, stop sexually assaulting people and oh have you heard of this thing called CONSENT?”
