What it takes to stop men committing rape

 STOPPING rape is more than just a matter of women hiding from rapists or fighting them off.

“It is men who rape and men who collectively have the power to end rape,” author Timothy Beneke says in his book “Men on Rape”.

Rape will not end until men stop treating women as mere objects and learn that successful relationships do not depend on violent domination. 

On an individual level, mature men can speak up and influence other men. 

Both men and women can refuse to go along with sexist jokes, to watch movies featuring sexual aggression, or to support advertisers who exploit sex to sell products.

Parents can teach respect for women by example. 

Parents can teach their sons to be friends with women and feel at ease around them.

They can teach their sons that sexual intercourse is a tender act of love reserved for one’s spouse only.
