You agree with the sign, or you agree with DUMB?

The sign, of course. Didn't see the DUMB because it's so sunny outside I nearly died.

I agree with the idea that men are the problem, but I also think it's kind of a dumb sign. I picture people walking around and going up to random men on the street yelling "Don't rape!"

Seems like most protest signs would be dumb to you.

Eh, I just think this is oversimplifying a serious problem.

With as much victim blaming as there always is, I think it's an excellent place to start.

Don't get me wrong, but something more like "Rape is never a woman's fault" makes more sense to me.

There is probably a sign for that too.

You'd be surprised, in my line of work, one of the biggest obstacles is the judicial system, and getting judges to understand "she was asking for it" is not a real defense.

We have a whole program called "CourtWatch" (reflections of justice) which helps the powers at be to understand that women are not asking for it, and there is no "but...".

Oh I understand, I just find the wording totally awkward and weird.
It seems like such a common sense thing to me that men are to blame for what they do, and it's crazy that anyone would think otherwise.

I guess the reason it's generalized, might be to emphasize how fucking stupid it is that we even have to combat the idea that "she shouldn't have been dressed like that".

"Fine, we'll spell it out for you"

Understood. It gets the point across.
