London Pro-Feminist Men's Group statement in response to  Wake up to Rape
report



Responding to media reports about The Havens' report on British public
attitudes to rape, The London Pro-Feminist Men's Group said:



"Rape is never acceptable, and it is never the fault of the woman.  The
idea that a woman 'should know what to expect if she goes back to a man's
house' is based on the idea that men cannot control themselves or are
naturally driven to have sex at any cost.  These lies serve to absolve men
of responsibility for their behaviour but they do us no service.  We call
on all men to clean up our acts: in order to gain women's trust, we need
to establish a record of decent behaviour, and to show no tolerance for
any form of abuse of women."
