This is ok by you. The next time a woman achieves something in the workplace, people speculate it's because she's Lettermanning the boss.This is terrible, by you. Let me know when you've figured out the value of consistency in argument. Simple proposition:

So far I love that you are bringing up an issue but the issue here is not what you are writing about. The one thing the media fails to address about sex, rape, and child rape issues is that it's not focusing how a victim is being victimized. In fact a lot of these cases blame victims and sometimes put the spotlight on the perpetrator and totally dismiss the reality of rape culture. "Oh its soo bad you did this but yet we don't care about the victim and what actuallyhappened" is the message I am getting. That is something that I don't like seeing but is an unfortunate and constant reality in the world of the media. -Psychology major -Media studies minor - Pro-advocate for sexual assault, rape, domestic violence, and oppression in general.
