Diversity Event

The diversity event was very exciting. I was surprised by some of the questions that were asked to us. One of the statements during the event that was asked was if we agree or disagree with “Women who wear revealing clothes want to be raped”. I disagreed with this statement as well as the majority of other people if not all the people participating in this event. I believe that no one wants to be raped or deserves to be raped no matter who they are or what they are doing. I believe that the impact from society has formed this statement.. In our society today, nudity has become a comparison to sex because of the way women dress. In different cultures of the world for example, women are to keep their body covered head to toe because of the fear of being raped. Whereas in the United States people wear whatever pleases them even though it has given people the mindset that they want sex. Most women who wear revealing clothing have no intention in mind to look for a male but only to boost their self-esteem and make their feelings better about themselves or help them feel more attractive.
