Nineteen-year-old Samantha Stendal’s very simple and short anti-rape message has captured 1.4 million viewers in just five days.

Stendal, a second year University of Oregon film major, decided to make the video, “A Needed Response,” because of the coverage of the Steubenville, Ohio, rape trial.

In Stendal’s 26-second video, a woman is passed on a couch and a guy in front of her leers at the camera, “Guess what I’m gonna do to her?”

He fetches a pillow, a blanket and a glass of water then says, “Real men treat women with respect.”

Stendal, events coordinator of the University Film Organization, told KVAL News she made her first YouTube video because she was upset that one of the first questions about that rape case has been “what the victim could have done differently.”
