My adopted home town of Edmonton, Canada has been in the media lately over a controversial news story which will be of interest to many guys on here. A local men's rights group in E-town has posted signs around town informing women about the seriousness of false rape accusations and of course, this is pissing off lots of people (the usual suspects: feminists, liberal politicians, etc) but the campaign is raising awareness of a legitimate concern and is spreading to other Canadian cities.

The campaign started in response to another campaign called "Don't Be That Guy", in which guy's were depicted in posters taking advantage of drunk women, I thought I started a thread on it but couldn't find it, but I did post pics on a different thread, which you can find here. That campaign was created by a group called SAVE (Sexual Assault Voices of Edmonton) and was no doubt funded by local government and was supported by the Edmonton police.
The more controversial, "Don't Be That Girl" campaign was created by Men's Rights Edmonton and likely didn't receive any government funding but is getting blasted in the media and the Edmonton police are speaking out about it too as it downplays the seriousness of legitimate rapes. Interesting to note that some of its most vocal members are actually women.
Its caused quite a debate in local media and as expected the people from SAVE aren't engaging in any kind of debate with the men's rights group, they actually refused to debate them (no surprise) but the entire issue is exposing the double standards which exist concerning the issue.

Also of note: Most of these posters were put up around the University of Alberta, which is home to that chick who tried to troll Roosh and he wrote the ROK article Brutal takedown of budding feminist writer, do you guys remember her?

I put out a RVF bounty on that skank a few months ago (can't find the link), willing to buy drinks for any guy who had photographic evidence of tagging that cum dumpster, I figured Djembadjemba or Irishman would have hit that by now, the offer is still on the table boys!
