Rather than telling women it's our responsibility to prevent the sexual assaults committed against us - ridiculous, really - maybe it's time we flip the script and teach men the various ways they can prevent rape, by, you know, NOT RAPING. Here are some ideas, many of them mentioned by comedienne Sarah Silverman, and all worthy of a little extra airtime.

1. In the Elevator
If you are in an elevator and a woman gets in, don’t rape her. Ride in the elevator til it stops at your floor and get out instead.
2. Laundry
Remember, women go to the laundry room to do their laundry. Do not attempt to molest a woman who is alone in a laundry room. She just wants to wash her socks.
3. Drinks?
Do not put drugs into a woman's drink so you'll have an easier time raping her later. If you're not sure you can restrain yourself, avoid social situations where women will have drinks. Better yet, just avoid social situations with women attending.
4. Sleeping Beauty
If you happen across a woman who is asleep or unconscious, the safest thing to do is not rape her. Make sure she's safe, and walk away without raping her.
Sunshine and blue skies bring positivity and joy and it's important for every woman to take full advantage of it. Even when stuck indoors, it's still possible to enjoy some good vibes. Check out these unique tips on how to make the most of the weather right at your home. Let's celebrate every beautiful day, no matter where we are.
5. Walking
If you're out walking, and you see a woman walking alone, don't rape her. Leave her alone.

6. Buddy up
If you can't trust yourself not to rape women, use the buddy system. Keep a trusted friend with you at all times, to prevent you from raping someone.
7. Whistle
Keep a rape whistle with you, and if you feel the urge to rape someone, blow the whistle until someone comes to stop you.
8. Clothing
If you're wearing something that tempts you to rape someone, change your clothes and don't wear that article of clothing again. Maybe consider staying home.
9. Home Alone
Speaking of staying home, never creep into a woman’s home through an unlocked door or window, and rape her.
I mean, you'd think these things wouldn't need to be said or explained, but apparently, they do. Do you have any other tips to share?

Comments
Renee: I think this article should be removed. It's incredibly sexist towards males. Not all men are rapists. It's not even funny to joke about. This is very disappointing
Lindsey: This article would have been more useful if there were tips on how to avoid being raped such as carrying pepper spray, poking the perpetrator in the eyes, etc.
Anaïs: THANK YOU ! You said it well. People who don't understand your way to show things don't understand the rape issue.
Saucilito: Wow, I was excited to think that this article would be progressive and talk about the men that are sexual assault victims.
Pl0x: Misandric and not funny at all
peony: How strange as if all men are rapists! No some men are decent and not every man who walks into a lift wants to rape a woman or at all! Yes rape exist no doubt you should have thought about how to state your point properly. Just saying.
Saucilito: Btw, the woman who says that people who disagree with this don't understand rape issues is a pure insult. Seriously, as someone who was an SA victim this helps NO ONE.
GGBoline: This is probably not the right app to be posting this article.
JeKia: I don't remember reading the "all men" portion of this… or even the "if you have a penis" portion. These are things that pertain to anyone who feels the need to sexually assault anyone else.
JessIsabel77: This is a fail. It's misandrist and unfunny.
