To reduce a woman’s risk of sexual
assault, things that must be taken into consideration involving pondering what
exactly can trigger a man to even think about assaulting a woman. A woman must
think of anything that might perchance cause a man to want to sexually assault
her.
Triggers for a man to think
vulgarly about a woman can possibly start with a woman who is scarcely dressed.
Other initiatives for a man to think offensively about a woman can involve a man
who feels superior to a woman in a way that he treats her like property and
views her as his to be had. Now it would be hard to ask women to stop dressing
the way that they do and almost impossible to change the way some men think
about women.
The best thing to do would be for a
woman to have a safety plan in case a sexual assault is tried to be put in
place. Carry mace, stay in well-lit areas, avoid parking garages, and always
travel with a partner. By practicing these safety precautions readily and
always being on the lookout for a possible assault, a woman can reduce her risk
of sexual assault.
Other ways for women who are in
relationships in particular to avoid assaults is to really know a person before
you get involved with them romantically, test the man’s character and judgment,
don’t just jump in and trust him right away. If a man starts to be abusive in
any way at all, make sure that you let someone else know and get away from the
situation immediately.
Hello Brandi. Your comments are interesting. I agree that a woman should have a safety plan in place in order to avoid being assaulted. We as females should be able to express ourselves and not be afraid of being attacked if our skirt is short or because we have a pretty smile. It is sad that we live in a society where we have to buddy up with friends who have our backs and watch our drinks!!!
ReplyDeleteBrandie,
ReplyDeleteI agree that staying in well lit places is a good idea but I have to strongly disagree with the clothing issue. A woman should be able to wear what she likes. I am not saying that dressing like a street walker is acceptable socially but I have seen many very classy beautiful women who fully dressed can provoke a man's attention. I think mor ethan anything, it is knowing how to handle yourself and being prepared to take care of yourself. I like your ideas and comments on this topic, I just have a different opinion. I hope you dont take offense.
