If you only ever click through to one link from me onto Hubris, please read this one, and please do think about how you feel about the messages you receive from the media http://hubris.co.nz/motivated-by-fury-not-despair
That ad isn't up on their website yet, which would help with responding to this. So, let's just rock and roll with an uninformed opinion.
I think you are right in terms of it being misleading. Because it doesn't require alcohol to be assaulted, alcohol isn't a reason or excuse to be assaulted, and things that portray it that way are a disgusting insult to people who have been attacked.
However I think there is a way of making an ad that says "this is a very real danger in our society, and if you a certain level of drunk, you are going to be even less prepared to face and repell it".
I sent a letter and didn't even get a response. Fuckers. It's like they feel they have some kind of right to ignore, dismiss or outright misrepresent women, because God forbid they listen to us.
