@michelle.gent Sexual assault is about power, and when women are seen as less than men, it is difficult to discern what consent is supposed to look like. These things happening because our society & cultures.
In my country if someone get forced seduction by other man she really afraid to tell her mom & dad.
And when she said her situations to parents than her parents first blaming to she. Like why should go there? Than her parents never reporting in police sation against those man just beacuse no one get with relationships with her daughter! And all society will laughing on them! I feel we need to grow up our mind.
But yet time girls are strong & they know how to fight with situations.
No, it's not always about power. It's also about curiosity but when curiosity is combined with a belief that the curious can act on that curiosity when and with whom they feel like it, that's when the problem starts. If that curious person is not put right about the boundaries and respect for the other person's feelings too, then they believe they can get away with it whenever and wherever.
It's also about proof - there is no physical evidence that someone touched another. There's only mental evidence. Nightmares, feelings of inadequacy, doubt of self-worth.
I was led to believe my only worth was the way I looked and how attractive I was - that and whether I could cook, clean and serve a man, of course. That belief was also perpetuated by the women in my family.
Grandmothers that teach their girls to hoover and iron, wash the dishes, clean the house, look after the children... it all says - you must be subservient to your man, without a man, you are worthless.
Wrong!
