Why do we scrutinize the person who reports sexual assault more than the person accused of causing harm?

From Chanel Miller to the Cornell sexual assault allegations, survivors are still asked the same questions: Why did they drink? Why were they there? Why didn’t they react differently? Why did their story change?

Our latest Substack looks at victim blaming, media coverage of sexual assault, and what happens when survivors are expected to prove their pain before the public will take them seriously.

Comment “SUBSTACK” and we’ll send you the full piece.

Parents: One of the most important things we can teach young people about preventing sexual assault: You are allowed to ruin the vibe.

Call your friend out. Interrupt what is happening. Get someone else involved. Make the situation awkward.

Someone’s safety matters more than keeping the peace.

Here's what to do if you see Jane Doe's name doxxed:

• DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THE POST / TWEET / REEL IN ANY CAPACITY.

•SEE A POST TRYING TO DOXX JANE DOE?
REPORT THE POST FOR BULLYING / HARASSMENT.

• AFTER REPORTING, BLOCK THE ACCOUNT.
• IF JANE DOE EVER CHOOSES TO PUBLICIZE

HER NAME AT ANY POINT - IT'S HER DECISION. OTHER PEOPLE DON'T GET TO DO THIS. HER NAME CURRENTLY IS JANE DOE

If you are a survivor of sexual assault on a college campus, we want you to hear this: what happened to you was not your fault.

You deserved safety. You deserved support. You deserved your college experience. And whether you reported, told someone, or never said a word, what happened to you matters.

We believe you. You are not alone.

One of the most painful realities of sexual assault is how often the survivor’s life becomes the one completely changed.

Meanwhile, the person who caused that harm may simply continue living theirs.

Survivors should not be the only ones forced to live with the consequences.

Believe survivors of sexual assault, even when their story makes you uncomfortable.

But this goes far beyond Cornell.

Survivors of sexual violence do not owe us the “perfect” response. They may freeze. They may stay in contact with the person who harmed them. They may delay telling someone. They may struggle to remember everything in a clear timeline. They may love or trust the person who hurt them. Their pain may not look the way you expect.

None of those things should become an excuse to shame, silence, or dismiss someone who comes forward.

Believe survivors. Especially when their response does not fit the story you expected.

For the men asking, “Why didn’t anyone stop this?” This is where you start.

Preventing sexual assault is not only about what you do in a crisis. It is about learning how to recognize harmful behavior, speak up when something feels wrong, and intervene before a situation escalates.

Bystander intervention gives you concrete options: Direct. Distract. Delegate. Document. Delay.

You do not need the perfect words. You need to know your options and practice using them.

Men: What would you actually say or do if you saw a friend crossing a line? Share a concrete example in the comments. Let’s give each other language we can actually use.

Save this. Send it to your friends. Talk about it before you need it.

I truly understand why calling for the death of the Cornell Seven seems like survivor solidarity BUT, here’s how calls like this can actually de-centre, silence and further harm survivors.

When we talk about the Cornell 7, we need to talk about more than the seven men accused of assault. We need to talk about the people who knew what was happening and did nothing....and the institution that handled what happened afterward.
Cornell says its investigation resulted in expulsions and suspensions. The lawsuit alleges that only two of the seven were expelled and that others received lesser sanctions, including the opportunity to submit essays to mitigate their conduct.
But the bigger question remains:
What happens when the people around the violence choose silence, and the institution responsible for accountability fails to make survivors feel protected?
Bystander complicity isn't just standing in the room...It's knowing, seeing, hearing, and still staying quiet.
And sometimes, it's an institution deciding that protecting itself, its reputation, or the accused matters more than protecting the person who was harmed.
“I didn't do it” is not the same as “I did something to stop it.”

Violence against women is a men’s issue.

Our co-founder Alex Prout on men’s violence, harmful masculinity, the manosphere, and why men have a responsibility to speak up, take action, and help prevent sexual and gender-based violence.

Men, we have work to do.
