When reading an article that starts talking about a possible accessory to help prevent rape, I became very interested. As I kept reading the article the author started contradicting herself and bashing on the minute accessory that could save a life. Kerby may not think that a color changing nail polish is a reasonable way to prevent rape, but how could you not? How is something that is so small and so powerful not a reasonable thing to wear to save a life. I believe that we live in a time where technology can be used to prevent sexual assault. Let us begin with how this nail polish works. The nail polish is formulated to react with the date rape drug that could be laced in your drink. All you have to do is put the nail polish on a stir your

“1. A little rape-culture competency wouldn 't hurt. …Host an on-campus brown bag lunch to talk about how victim-blaming occurs and talk about what we can do to prevent it.” (Kerby) All of us have been in high school, all of us have witnessed a convocation that involves bullying. What happens after the convocation or even during the convocation educating on bullying? How about, who would have thought, more bullying. Just because people talk about bullying does not mean it is going to stop it. Does that really make a difference to the student being the bully and the victim that is being bullied? Did the bully really listen at the convocation and have an epiphany and say “Bullying is wrong, and should be stopped.”? Or did he or she just ignore the whole speech and think that what he or she was doing okay? If there was a convocation for rapist, it would go the same way. Obviously the perpetrator thinks it is okay to do the act of violence to another human being without thinking twice about it. People can educate others for hours it does not mean you are going to get anywhere or reduce the numbers of people being victimized. Talking will not change the ways of these people. This is how their brain operates thinking that traumatic things such as rape is okay. It is obvious that the predators do these actions because it makes them feel something.

In colleges and universities you have most of your student population living on the campus. Weekend parties, they happen, drinking too much, it happens, drunk sex, that goes along with parties and drinking. If you ca not control yourself with your intake of alcohol then do not go to the party or moderate and have a friend go with you to make sure you are okay and not being assaulted. If you go to a big campus such as Purdue West Lafayette or IU Bloomington you have a ton of fraternities and sororities that have parties on top of parties. Not only is there drinking but you will also have drugs. The article states that alcohol is being the primary way of women being assaulted. What people do not understand is that drugs and the manipulative ability of any woman or man could make assault more prominent. The schools could take control of these problems by sending undercover police officers to the parties to keep the parties to a minimum. The colleges and universities could have a much more strict discipline policy for these acts of assault for a woman or man. “….their disciplinary proceedings where expulsion becomes a possibility for perpetrators of sexual assault.” (Kerby) I do not agree with her feminist ways of saying in a short summary, that women are the primary targets of rape. Nowhere in her whole article does she state that males are victimized
