Newsflash: Women's Shoes Hurt, Sex feels Good, Rape is the Fault of Rapists

Sometimes, the News Media has all the answers.

The New York Times reports that a recent study shows that women’s shoes hurt their feet.

Women mostly have sex because “it feels good,” according to a new study reviewed on Salon.com by Tracy Clark-Flory.

Also, the only sexual assault prevention tips guaranteed to work are those given to rapists, according to Lynn Harris, also at Salon.

She’s right that the majority of anti-rape education is aimed at women, while those who are actually responsible for the rape are generally men. Judging from that scary (but hopefully dated?) statistic at the top of the “Rape Index” post—the one that stated that 35% of college men would rape someone if they wouldn’t be caught, as of December, 1984—there needs to be some more education in that direction.
