University stands by tips for women to make themselves less ‘attractive’ victims

Silly us. We thought firearms made pretty good rape repellent. But apparently urinating on yourself and pretending to have your period are way better methods of making yourself a less “attractive” victim.
Good thing the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs is around to arm women … with priceless tips. A little vomiting on demand, a skillfully faked STD and presto! Rape “passively” averted. Or, those “actions on your part might lead to more harm.” UCCS is sure it’s one of those.
After an avalanche of Twitter backlash, the University’s Emergency Management department eventually got around to providing “context” for its widely-derided advice on “what to do if you are attacked.”
UCCS Police updated their Top 10, saying it was “in a context supplemented with additional” info (@michellemalkin) uccs.edu/pusafety/what-…

Web site was intended to be topics covered in a self-defense class called RAD. For more information visit: ow.ly/hPDUE

From the UCCS Department of Public Safety update:
The ten points of information below were used in a context supplemented with additional information during the in-class training covered in the Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) class. The R.A.D. class is offered free of charge as a public service to women who are part of the greater UCCS community.
Note that only *after* the list idiocy was exposed did UCCS provide “context” uccs.edu/pusafety/what-… | thnx @jessebyrnes

U of CO has issued a new statement regarding rape prevention. Maybe social media pressure is effective after all. uccs.edu/pusafety/what-…

@maibrandy Still notice nowhere does it mention “If you have a weapon (ie taser, mace, gun) use it”.

Perhaps, like Democrat Joe Salazar, UCCS administrators believe women shouldn’t be armed because they aren’t capable of differentiating a potential attacker from a friend. To many on the Left, a raped woman is preferable to an armed woman.
