“Her skirt was too short”, “She was asking for it.”, “Did you see the way she was dancing?”, “She should not have flirted with him so much”, “She was drunk, that is her own fault”. These statements are frequently used to excuse the actions of rapists and in turn place blame on victims of sexual assault.

Susan Wolf, a professor at The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, wrote Meaning in Life and Why It Matters to try to figure out why one’s life has meaning. She presents three different views to address the question of whether or not someone exhibits a meaningful life.
