I'm glad anytime the No Means No message is brought to the forefront of the wider cultural discussion but did anyone ever find out the full content of the cop's rape-prevention class?

It seems very likely that the part about dressing provocatively was only one facet of a larger talk in which he - from the standpoint of a professional law officer with years of experience and education in the field - aimed to educate young women on the multiple factors which could put a woman in danger.

I doubt the officer was saying style of dress was the major factor in victimisation and I also doubt that he was making his speech from the standpoint of victim-blaming.

Yep. It's dopey and dangerous to think all rapists are motivated by the same type of disfunction.
