According to Beiner article, “Sexy Dressing Revised: Does Target Dress Play A Part In Sexual Harassment Case?” Beiner writes, “Jurors often blame the victims, believing that their provocative dress somehow plays a part in the perpetrator’s decision to rape” (Beiner 126). With Jurors also believing it the victim’s fault, studies show many sexual assault cases are eliminated. The fact that even the Jurors believe this myth as well is just sad. I feel like women victims don’t have a say,…

is simply a stereotype attached to the word rape, tearing it away from the real meaning. However, rape is much more than that. It is the victimizing of a woman through penetration in whatever setting it may be. Dark alley or at home, rape can occur anywhere at any time.

Sexual assault, one of the most horrendous crimes one can endure in their lifetime. Yet many do experience the excruciating victimization, particularly women. At one point it time, without knowing it, a person will have met someone who has been a victim of a sexual assault.

“The world’s oldest profession!” What profession might that be? Prostitution, of course. Whores, as it seems, have established themselves in literature and culture since the beginning of written word. The Book of Revelations, to John Wilmot, now to Nathaniel Hawthorne all include some mention of promiscuous women and their debaucherous deeds. Although in Hawthorne's case prostitution in particular is not mentioned, being a whore is. Hawthorne utilizes sly allusions and implications from his…

hard to cope with. Many times if someone is experiencing symptoms of PTSD then they may not be able to hold down a job or even keep a good steady relationship. PTSD is most prevalent in our soldiers that come home from war, because traumatizing experiences and death happen far more in war then in a regular jobs.

However, the media does not provide sufficient coverage to the majority of these crimes, instead selecting sensationalised crimes with violent crimes against women (Serisier, 2017). Furthermore, The majority of suspected sexual assaults do not automatically undergo prosecution (Lievore, 2004)…

constantly though I got her so good a few weeks ago I replaced her pepper spray with silly string. He goes onto say “Anyway that night she got raped…” He continues on to complete the joke but it’s really hard to follow after hearing someone making fun of rape or sexual assault. When in actuality the only thing funny is how it’s becoming a part of the “college experience”. A study published in 2007 stated approximately 19% of women will be sexually assaulted during their time in college. MIT…
