 "Hey bros, check who passed out on the couch," the guy in the video begins, staring into the camera, as a seemingly unconscious girl is sprawled out on the sofa behind him. "Guess what I'm going to do to her." 

Probably not what you might think. 

The "bro" in question proceeds to give the girl a pillow, a blanket and a glass of water before turning back to the camera. "Real men treat women with respect," he says. 

A mere 26 seconds, University of Oregon student Samantha Stendal's video, titled "A Needed Response," is as short and pithy as they come. Directed toward "the Steubenville rapists...or any rapists out there," the video's point may seem obvious, but the message could do with some reinforcement in the wake of the Steubenville rape trial.

You know maybe it is just me, but since when is this something that has to be taught to young American men?

I was raised by a single mother and I can tell you right now that if I had ever dared to force myself on a young woman she would have cut my balls off and thrown them into the snow. You might think that is an exaggeration, but you would be wrong.

Like the video says, "Real men treat women with respect." And real fathers and mothers need to sit their children down and drill that into their tiny little heads.
