Not Completely Convinced that These Humanized Genitals Are Going To Do Too Much To Stop Rape

Project Consent from TOPIX on Vimeo.

Uhh, I think 'Project Consent' is forgetting something here. Overly aggressive penises aren't always attached to the most understanding of people. I can't say I am an expert in knowing the circumstances that generally surround rape, but I have always kinda assumed they weren't light hearted interactions that took place while reproductive organs were unclothed and mere inches away from one another. I'll put it this way, if someone is the type of person not to take no for an answer then yelling "HEY! when his penis is a half inch away from your vagina might be too little too late.

I'm not saying a girl can't decline at any given moment, but waiting until he was tip-to-clit makes her quite the tease if we are being honest. It's one thing to change your mind, but to be completely surprised that he even tried? Probably should have seen that one coming. Not to victim blame, but if you don't want someone to try to penetrate you then don't stand next to them naked and smiling for an elongated time period. I think we can understand the hand's confusion when he gently caressed the tit he had been successfully flirting with for an undisclosed amount of time. Shit, it's even a careless move to let the naked cock that is whistling dixie that close to you without giving him a sign that you're not interested. That just might send the wrong message.

If the goal is to send the right message that sexual assault is as serious a crime as it is then maybe we can stop portraying the people that commit it as happy-go-lucky dicks that may have gotten the wrong idea, and the victims of it as completely clueless boobs. Consent is more than just putting your genitals up against someone else's and seeing what they say in response, and this commercial does nothing to show that. Although I do appreciate that they were inclusive enough to make the breast black. This project may not be all that effective, but at least it's accepting.
