In class this week we talked about Chapter 2 and gave our opinions on it. One topic that sparked controversy in the class was this question: Who fault is it when it comes to rape? Is it the Females or the Males? Under which conditions do this happen?
Majority of the class could not agree with one specific gender in which these things occur. I say it's half and half. The boys are the ones who feel like they have to show off in front off their friends and approach a young lady any way they please. But what is attracting these young men? I have to say it is the young ladies and the way they present themselves. Presentation is the way you dress, speak, and carry yourself in public. Girls these days want attention and therefore they wear short and tight clothes. Then they get mad when a boy approach them the wrong way. If you want respect, look like you want respect.
I have to say it's not always the young people's fault. They are taught by their environment and what they see. When they were younger they probably saw older girls dressing the way they do now and that is what they desire. On the other hand with the young men they don't have a lot of men who respect ladies and if they are men like this the action of being respectable is not exhibited around these young men. How can we blame these young people when the adults are not during their job? The most important question is how can we fix this problem?
My final opinion on this topic is that it is the adults, young ladies and the young men fault that this problem is occurring. The adults should lead by example! But The young ladies and the young men have to pick up their own slack and become better role models for the upcoming generation. The young ladies need to learn how to present themselves in the world and the young men need to learn how to approach a young lady.
