When reading chapter 13 something that truly stuck out to me was sexual victimization it happens so often in colleges around the world. I think every female college student can relate, you can’t go to any party alone or just out at night alone due to the fact that something can happen to you and the whole world would blame you. Sexual victimization happens way to often, it often leads to sexual assault.
Sexual Harassment was another topic that stuck out to me, when reading the chapter i never knew their were so many forms of violence. This one is big in the college world because for females these days you have to have eyes everywhere. The media plays a big role in why women end of being victimized and harassed. They portray women as sex symbols which is why some men in the world feel that what they do is okay.
Lastly how to avoid to become a victim of violence was really interesting to me. Social media is something that truly can change your life. People never realize that once you put something on the internet it never goes away. Sometimes posting to much on the internet can lead people to take your information and eventually your identity. It’s really important to make sure when having social media that you make your pages private so only people you know and want to see your life can see it. Another important thing is as a women it might be good to take a self defense class or two. Even just having pepper spray could possibly save your life.
