Students at Ramapo College of New Jersey in Mahwah, New Jersey were told this week that they can prevent rape, in part, based on their facial expressions.
According to Cory Rosenkranz, coordinator of Substance Abuse & Violence Prevention, women should watch the way they smile, frown, and blink, among other things. Not doing so will result in increased amounts of rape.
Rosenkranz told attendees that they should stand in front of a mirror to "practice" their "anti-rape" faces. Brandon Molina, a returning peer facilitator said of the presenter, “She was saying that women need to watch their body language and that women should practice how they articulate their face [in a social setting] by practicing in the mirror.”
The presenter said that facial expressions could invite rape. Attendees voiced concerns with the presentation afterwards, saying that the speech did not talk about practical things to prevent rape. They also said that those in attendance said Rosenkranz phrased her advice in a way that blamed victims of rape for being raped, as opposed to rapists.
