Hey,
I am a survivor and I have very mixed feelings on the issue. My university has an anti rape campaign every fall and even though no one here knows about my past it kind of makes me feel like the whole school is rising up to support me and keep me safe. That being said, I think that there is probably some benefit in educating MEN about what Rape is, and the effect it has on women who are raped. (I use sexes because where I am from it is legally impossible for a person to rape another person on the same sex.)

I also kind of think though that there is not really a way that education is going to prevent most rapes. Frat boys are still going to get drunk and think that no means yes. People are still going to let lust overtake them, and I feel like the majority of people who assault someone don't actually care how it affects them. By educating I think we can probably give those who are assaulted a stronger support system, not actually prevent the assault.
Hope this helps!
