With an increase of on campus rapes, there should be a quicker decision for the male population on school campuses to be aware of their female counterpart’s issues, for example, concerning self defense and admissions for help. More and more sexual assaults are occurring almost daily that many male students do not feel threatened by it. Males threatened? There is a lack of educating the male students to helping those helpless female students, especially if they are good friends with them.
Many men trip on their own pride and feel that they have done enough for the female students, eventually not doing enough to stopping rape from occurring or helping to spread the ideas of independence and feminism in public, Not to say all male students do not do their part, but it seems obvious that many sexual assaults occur because no one chooses to step up to prevent them.
The idea of not getting involved is the worst thing possible, since many rape victims become too afraid to come forward with their stories or are afraid to reach out to anyone willing to lend a hand or listen. Many rape victims feel passed over and feel there is a major backlash.
The female student body is driven to ending sexual assaults on school campuses, but it takes more than them to ending it. There needs to be a push for all male students to prevent a tragedy from happening before it happens, like escorting their female friends to their car after their night class ends or even protecting them during the day. There needs to be a big show of attention done to all those female students that feel lost or alone. Who knows there might be lesser crimes? a better and safer campus?
All males in society should be attentive to why the opposite sex is so afraid of rape and why it should be an issue to talk about instead of it being swept under the rug, like some sort of insult on a college’s reputation or popularity. It takes a brave voice to change everything. To give a voice to the voiceless and mean business!
