So to combat the inevitable inaction ’safety’ messages that will accompany these attacks (which place the onus on women to protect themselves, rather than society and men in general to prevent the attacks from happening in the first place), see this list of handy hints for would-be attackers:

* Men should stay in their houses, and lock their doors
* Men should not walk alone late at night, and should stay in populated areas where they can be seen
* Men should stay in groups of people they trust to not let them walk off alone
* Men should refrain from telling or laughing at sexist jokes, perpetrating violence against women
* Men should refrain from attending parties and drinking
* Men should refrain from intimidating women
* Men should refrain from following women
* Men should refrain from putting drugs in women’s drinks
* MEN SHOULD STOP SEXUALLY ASSAULTING WOMEN
