The issue is that, in this specific perpetrator-victim relationship, men do not always show support for rape-advocacy as a movement, for the same 'not-a-rapist-not-my-problem' mentality mentioned above.
Which brings me to my final point. This slogan does not insult or demean women. The point is not to imply that women need surveillance. The message is clear that the point is for men to look at themselves and their attitudes towards rape, and if they see in themselves indifference or a 'not-my-problem' attitude, maybe they should rethink their positions.
That being said, it could merely be a problem of scope, but the slogan does shift the conversation into a ham-fisted, not nuanced place.
