An exhibit at the Nova Scotia Community College in Lunenburg looks to dispel a myth around sexual assault. On display are outfits representing what survivors were wearing at the time they were assaulted.

    I don’t understand how the “what were you wearing” thing made it out of the 90’s. You could be walking naked down the street, that isn’t consent. Fuck strippers walk down the main boozer street in my city to try conning customers into their club. They’re wearing lingerie, still not consent. It isn’t rocket science.

    There was another like this in Europe. I understand very eye opening. I didn’t know if it is traveling, or if this is another. Sadly, rape is common enough we could have a few these per region.

      They seem to be unrelated. (This one, as per the video (1:22), was inspired by “a similar exhibit in the US”)

        There have been several over the years. They keep doing them because teen girls keep having to explain in court why they were wearing thongs if they didn’t want the dong.

        It’s stupid that we have to keep reminding society that “she was asking for it” isn’t consent.

            Nah, it came as the same time as two others on two other comments I made. I’d bet someone doesn’t like something I had to say so much that they went and did that to a few of my comments at the same time without them looking. It wouldn’t be the first time.
