University of Colorado Removes Safety Tip Sheet Advising Rape Victims to Thwart Attack by ‘Vomiting or Urinating’

Feb. 20, 2013 6:00pm

After being ruthlessly mocked and ridiculed this week, the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs has taken down its list of safety tips for rape victims. The list advised women to urinate, vomit or inform their attacker that they are menstruating to prevent an assault.

The university is claiming that the list has been “taken out of context.”

“The recent circulation of this web page containing information about rape prevention at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs was taken out of context on popular social media sites,” the website states.

“The 10 tips were considered last resort options when all other defense methods have been exhausted,” the site added. “The ten tips have been removed. We apologize for the miscommunication and any confusion that this page may have caused.”

Just in case you missed it, here’s the full list from TheBlaze’s previous report:

1.    Be realistic about your ability to protect yourself.

2.    Your instinct may be to scream, go ahead!  It may startle your attacker and give you an opportunity to run away.

3.    Kick off your shoes if you have time and can’t run in them.

4.    Don’t take time to look back; just get away.

5.    If your life is in danger, passive resistance may be your best defense.

6.    Tell your attacker that you have a disease or are menstruating.

7.    Vomiting or urinating may also convince the attacker to leave you alone.

8.    Yelling, hitting or biting may give you a chance to escape, do it!

9.    Understand that some actions on your part might lead to more harm.

10.    Remember, every emergency situation is different.  Only you can decide which action is most appropriate.

The tip sheet gained national attention after Colorado Democratic Rep. Joe Salazar asserted that women don’t need to carry guns on college campuses because they might accidentally start shooting innocent people they “feel” might rape them. He also said women have “call boxes,” “safe zones” and “whistles” to protect them.

Glenn Beck and company mocked the list and Rep. Salazar mercilessly on radio while many others argued the university’s list endangers any women who may have actually taken the tips seriously.

      There was no miscommunication from this University they point blank communicated that they would rather see a woman raped than to see a woman exercise her 2cd amendment rights. Fact is all these places that restrict legal gun ownership should be held resposiblie for any crime in which a gun might have saved a life,stopped a maming,or stopped a rape. If they restrict self defense options they bare 50% of the blame for the out come.

    1. Al Roker visits White House
    2. Bathhouse Barry puts the moves on Roker
    3. Roker sh/its himself in an attempt to flee
    4. Roker regrets the missed opportunity to spend some “special” time with Barry

      Whenever I visit Colorado with my wife I instruct her to (1) shoot two warning shots with the shotgun and (2) piss your pants before you go out for an early morning jog. It always works.

    TASER might be effective in a close encounter! How about a brasssiere holstered taser prod that a woman can whip out in a heartbeat, stab the attacker with the business end, and it would autofire! The only thing she’d have to worry about would be not to hurt herself as he falls into a twitching mess of vomit, urine and stool-squirts until she is able to pull herself free of his ****-pulling, electronically enhanced grip!

      If I tased a would-be rapist, I’d be sure to give him a steel-toed kick in a place he’d long remember whle he was on the ground. I’d also write “rapist” on his forehead in mirror image with a black sharpie.

    “Only you can decide which action is most appropriate” ( but using a gun is not an option ) So run away as fast as your pathetic fem body can take you, yelling, bleeding, vomiting, blowing a whistle, and by all means, don’t look back, because, you may see your “buddy” getting bludgeoned to death.

    You’ll know that women are successful at self-defense when THEIR ATTACKER vomits and ****** himself, just before loading his shorts with some digested solids! I’m sure the perp will be attractive to his cell-mates in that condition! Meanwhile, the weapons-trained object of their ill-intentions can go about their business with the confidence that they CHOSE to fire or hold fire in the confrontation!

      This is just a line of thought here. Why do you think the govt has been pushing so hard for FREE birth control, plan B and abortion. Women are NOT supposed to defend themselves and if raped, no problem…..Just pop a pill and all is well.

    There is nothing better than a gun. When the perpetrator is looking down the barrel of a gun it has a way of saying back the hell up! I am not sure what any of these men are thinking when they think they are offering advice to a woman about possibly being raped. From the conservative bone heads to the democratic bone head… best advice I can offer you is “Shut Up”

    Women can choose to kill an unborn child but not arm themselves against a rapist? Again, Shut Up!!

      I have to say I found some humor in this comment, I am thinking… in this situation you could just say to the rapist, “Could you please hold on, put fingers in mouth, deep now, …. gagging sound… again ask rapist to hold on.. put fingers back in mouth.. when your about ready to puke you can mumble I think I got it” Or the idea you can pee on command is that like being at the Dr.’s office and they ask you to fill the cup?

      I’m very surprised the list doesn’t include the wearing of a “chasity belt” to prevent penetration from happening to begin with. After all how do you think they used to keep us chaste back in the barbaric days! They don’t realize how quickly a man can grab a woman by the **** and drag her off!
