The Department of Public Safety, University of Colorado, took down an advisory put up Monday that gave tips to female students on how to avoid being raped.
This was done after an outcry by female students who protested against tips like urinating or vomiting or saying that one was menstruating to the rapist.
The advisory wrote that this might influence the attacker to leave the individual alone.
The other conventional methods suggested to fight off rapists were biting or screaming
This series of tips are part of the department's 'Rape Aggression Defence System' (RAD) class that provides female students strategies to enhance their self-defence skills.
"Taking the RAD class greatly improved my confidence and my capacity for self defence. I feel prepared to take care of myself," Tabitha, RAD Graduate said.
The advisory was updated after lawmakers passed a bill that will not allow people with concealed-weapons permits to carry guns in state's public universities.
This bill was supported by Democratic State Rep. Joe Salazar, who said that students shouldn't carry guns to protect themselves from being raped/attacked.
"It's why we have call boxes, it's why we have safe zones, it's why we have the whistles," Salazar told abc news, "Because you just don't know who you're gonna be shooting at. And you don't know if you feel like you're gonna be raped, or if you feel like someone's been following you around or if you feel like you're in trouble when you may actually not be, that you pop out that gun and you pop -- pop around at somebody."
