..Well at least we're getting there! In reading this article, there were many cases in which how women are still not 100 % equal to men, although I found one particular scenario extremely interesting, and thought I would share it!
There was a situation in where a women had gone to court because of a rape case. She was asked what was she wearing, like that mattered. I understand dressing in certain ways may give off a certain vibe, or send a certain message, but the way a women dresses is her own decision, it's not like she's holding up a sign saying that because of what she is wearing it's okay to commit this disgusting crime. Many took offence when this question was brought up and I am one of them. I felt numerous emotions while reading this and it's disturbing to think about. No matter the circumstances no one has a right to harass someone else, no matter what the circumstance.
This basically meant that women continue to get discriminated against.
wow! the fact that she would asked that question in a court is unbelievable! I can't believe that someone would try to give her any blame for the rape in which she was a victim!
ReplyDeleteLike Sam said, that's incredible that they could blame the rape on her because of what she was wearing! Dictionary.com defines rape as "the unlawful compelling of a person through physical force or duress to have sexual intercourse." Not once in that definition does it mention that clothes affect the force of the rape. This is so unfair, and it hurts me to think that my gender would be accused of such a thing.
