Nearly 1 in 5 women in the United States (18.3%) has been raped at least once in her life, according to NISVS report. Most female victims of completed rape (79.6%) experienced their first rape before the age of 25, showing just how vulnerable to sexual violence young women really are.
The numbers are truly harrowing, and they are likely to be higher since many sexual assault and harassment victims don’t report their experiences to authorities. Some go as far as hiding them and dealing with the aftermath all alone. It often leads to severe emotional and physical damage for years to come.

Knowing what a devastating crime sexual harassment and assault really is, most common advice is, in fact, addressed to women rather than the potential perpetrators. And this one viral Twitter thread mocks this flawed logic in a series of all-telling tweets.
Posted by the user @xcrazyraerae, who said “I’m also a victim” and that “it shouldn’t be our job to avoid it,” the thread reflects on all the nonsensical advice women are given on a daily basis. The irony is that all the listed points are aimed at men, which makes it not a joke thread, since “they literally need to follow these rules but don’t.”
