I cannot tell you how many times my good guy friends have told this to me when I left their apartment. It is ridiculous.
I mean aside from the point where they could have offered to walk me home, or ask for a text from me, or even ( I know, crazy idea here) text-ed me their self and made sure I got home. Or talk on the phone with me while I walked home.
But that is beside the point. Just a personal rant.
Honestly though. Why does society make it acceptable to tell girls to not get raped? Its called rape for a reason. It is not consensual. Why do we pretend like it is somehow a girls choice?
If we wish to move forward in the equality movement, we need to also tell boys to not rape. Maybe that would do some small thing to help those who cannot help themselves.
