In reply to the discussion: Rape more Common than Smoking in the US [View all]a geek named Bob
(2,715 posts)1.) I'd want confirmation in re rapes above smoking. That's called fact-checking. (I'd want confirmation as I CAN'T shank that many people... someone would notice a pattern...)
2.) You keep trying to make this about little ole you facing against the bad ole overly sensitive men-folk, who obviously are all about the keeping the secret.
3.) Your rhetoric structure is essentially: "I have and am broadcasting the true knowledge! Any objection to any part of my message is not to be listened to! I shall fight it!" In Pagan circles, we call that the Pagan Hierophant Problem. It's pretty much an emergent behavior for most high energy groups. By basically talking about ME (A Geek Named Bob), you are calling attention to YOU (the brave little oppressed person, bravely fighting the nasty thing).
4.) Your current message of "Don't Rape" is pretty much guaranteed to alienate your target audience. Instead of trying to hector your audience, How about a diverse group moving a message of "Real Men wait until yes." Otherwise, you run into the instinct of Non Serviam.
