Abstract: 
Female and male subjects holding pro-feminist and non-feminist attitudes rated the desirability and expected effectiveness of four anti-rape strategies that varied according to locus of responsibility for reducing rape and the aggressiveness of the strategy. Sex, sex-role attitudes, responsibility for reducing rape, and the aggressiveness of strategies were examined. It was found that attitude toward sex roles was a more pervasive determinant of patterns of perceived effectiveness and desirability than was subject sex.
