"Society continues to misplace blame and shame on survivors—both women and men—on college campuses and everywhere else. That has to end. We must confront the myths and excuses that help perpetuate sexual assault. We must speak about these issues, boldly, thoughtfully and often, because criminals thrive when we are silent, when we are reluctant to engage, when we insist that these issues are too murky to sort out."

Thesis
College rape is degrading to female students because it reveals the underlying assumption that there is no manifestation of a social system in which women are constantly being oppressed and objectified by both men and our society.
