Two shorter articles:
Charlene Y Senn: "An Imperfect Feminist Journey: Reflections on the process to develop an effective sexual assault resistance programme for university women" http://ntserver1.wsulibs.wsu.edu:2734/content/21/1/121.full.pdf+html
Katherine van Wormer: "Restorative Justice as Social Justice for Victims of Gendered Violence: A standpoint feminist perspective" http://ntserver1.wsulibs.wsu.edu:2069/ehost/pdfviewer/pdfviewer?sid=7d748824-ebc1-42eb-b5e5-7024f8e1fb9f%40sessionmgr114&vid=2&hid=123
A longer article that would be good to skim (this one is older - 2002 - but there is plenty of relevant stuff in there)
Carine M Mardorossian "Toward a new feminist theory of rape" http://ntserver1.wsulibs.wsu.edu:2062/stable/10.1086/337938
The language is dense, but she really starts arguing her point on 388, so you can skim up to there.
Here is an interesting passage:
"We can avoid these self-defeating pitfalls by regarding rape not as a fact to be accepted or opposed, tried or avenged, but as a process to be analyzed and undermined as it occurs. One way to achieve this is to focus on what actually happens during rape attempts and on differentiating as much as possible among various rape situations in order to develop the fullest range of rape prevention strategies.' Another way to refuse to recognize rape as the real fact of our lives is to treat it as a linguistic fact: to ask how the violence of rape is enabled by narratives, complexes and institutions which derive their strength not from outright, immutable, unbeatable force but rather from their power to structure our lives as imposing cultural scripts. To understand rape in this way is to understand it as subject to change.
If anyone is interested in a critique of Marcus's ideas, maybe for later on, Malinen offers one:
Thinking Woman-to-Woman Rape: A Critique of Marcus’s ‘‘Theory and Politics of Rape Prevention’’
Two women create their solution to rape, which is anti-rape clothing called Anti-Rape (AR) Wear. The rape proof clothing is said to be indestructible by cutting or tearing and has difficult locks that secure the pants. Here is a link to the online fundraising campaign/description for the product: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ar-wear-confidence-protection-that-can-be-worn
A lot of feminists are not shy about sharing their critiques of the product.
