1. You are a rapist if you get a girl drunk and have sex with her.

2. You are a rapist if you find a drunk girl and have sex with her.

3. You are a rapist if you get yourself drunk and have sex with her. Your drunkeness is no excuse.

4. If you are BOTH drunk, you may still be a rapist.

5. If she's alternating between puking her guts out and passing out in the bed, then you are a rapist.

6. If she's sleeping and you have sex with her, then you are a rapist.

7. If she's unconscious and you have sex with her, then you are a rapist.

8. If she's taking sleeping pills and doesn't wake up when you have sex with her, then you are a rapist.

9. If she is incapacitated in any way and unable to say "Yes," then you're a rapist.

10. If you drug her, then you're a rapist.

11. If you find a drugged girl and have sex with her, then you're a rapist.

12. If you don't bother to ask her permission and she says neither "Yes" nor "No", then you could be a rapist.

13. You are a rapist if you "nag" her for sex. Because you manage to ply an eventual "yes" from a weary victim doesn't mean it's not rape. You are a rapist.

14. You are a rapist if you try to circumvent her "No" by talking her into it. She's not playing hard to get, and even if she IS, it's not YOUR responsibility to "get" her. You are still a rapist.

15. You are a rapist if you manipulate her into sex when she doesn't otherwise want it. If you say, "If you loved me you'd do X," then you are a rapist. If you say, "All the other kids are doing it!" then you are a rapist.

16. If you threaten her or act in a way that SHE thinks you're threatening her, then you're a rapist. If you puff up and get loud and frustrated while trying to "talk" her into sex, then you're a rapist.

17. You are a rapist if you don't immediately get your hands off of her when she says "no." You are a rapist if you take your hands off of her and the put them back ON her after 10 minutes, and she eventually "gives in" to this tactic.

18. You are a rapist if you won't let her sleep peacefully without waking her every 15 minutes asking her for sex. Sleep deprivation is a form of torture, and YOU are rapist.

19. If you're necking with her and you're naked and you've already gone down on her and she says "No" to sex with you and you have sex with her anyway then you're a rapist.

20. If you're engaged in intercourse and she says "No" at ANY point and you don't immediately stop, then you're a rapist.

21. If she says "Yes" to sex with a condom and that condom breaks and you proceed anyway, then you're a rapist.

22. If she picked you up at a bar looking for sex and then decides that she doesn't WANT sex and you continue, then you're a rapist.

23. If she changes her mind at ANY point for ANY reason and you don't immediately back off or you try to talk her into it and get sex anyway, then you're a rapist.

24. If you don't hit her and she says "No," you're still a rapist.

25. If you don't have a knife or gun or a garrote and she says "No," then you're still a rapist.

26. If you're a friend of hers, you can still be a rapist.

27. If you had sex with her the night before but she doesn't want morning sex and you pressure her for it anyway, then you're a rapist.

28. If you're her husband, you can still be a rapist.

29. If it's your wedding night and she doesn't WANT to have sex with you and you force or coerce her anyway, then you're a rapist.

30. If she's had sex with you hundreds of times before but doesn't want to on the 101st time, then you're a rapist.

31. If you penetrate her anally, orally or digitally against her will, then YOU, my friend, are ALSO a rapist.

32. Women do not owe you sex.

33. Buying her dinner does not entitle you to sex.

34. Paying her mortgage does not entitle you to sex.

35. Buying her clothing does not entitle you to sex.

36. Buying her lingerie does not entitle you to sex. It also doesn't mean that she has any obligation to wear that lingerie around you.

37. Spending any amount of money on her does not, ever, entitle you to sex.

38. Seeing her legs or cleavage does not entitle you to sex.

39. If she "turns you on," you're not entitled to sex.

40. If she has fucked every man in a 10 square miles radius and she doesn't want to fuck you and you have sex with her anyway, then you're a rapist.

41. Her clothing is not a reason for you to rape her. Her LACK of clothing is no reason to rape her. If she's wearing a thong and pasties, you STILL have no right to rape her.

42. If she's a prostitute and she says "No," then you're a rapist.

43. If she's a stripper and she says "No," then you're a rapist. Likewise, if she's a stripper and she's been rubbing against your dick all night long and you followed her to her car and have sex with her against her will, then you are ALSO a rapist.

44. If you watch a woman being raped without calling the authorities then you're as bad as a rapist, and you may also be a rapist yourself.

45. If you don't fight rape, then you accept rape.

46. If you don't believe a woman when she says she was raped, then you're encouraging rape.

47. If you choose to remain friends with a man who raped a woman, you're encouraging rape.

48. If you confess to the authorities that you raped a woman it does not exonerate you. You are not suddenly a model of good behavior.

49. If you "only" raped one woman, you're STILL a rapist.

50. You cannot tell who is a rapist by the way they look. Rapists are your friends, your brothers, your fathers, and you won't know it.

51. Do not get frustrated with a woman if she doesn't trust you. SHE already knows that rapists don't wear signs on their foreheads. Something you think is innocuous, SHE may find terrifying.
