C: Sexual Assault Can Indeed Cause by Many Factors But
C: Sexual Assault is something that it is still not talk about enough that sometimes it
is dismissed. It is what people regardless of age and gender experienced at some point in
their lives or worse in a daily basis. Sexual Assault gives beyond damages physically,
mentally, and behaviorally. The trauma and flashbacks or anything related to the assault
trigger the victim causes the general health to deteriorate and have reactions such as low
outlook to self, depression, and panic attack
R: There are many factors that contribute its occurrence but most perpetrator adhere
to the traditional gender role that focus in the inequality. For instance, men are the
aggressive ones and expect women to be passive. This allows them to treat the targeted
victim with no regard or respect. I think that, in a perpetrator’s eye, the way a person
behaves and dress is usually their excuse and alcohols and drugs are an invitation and
often use to incapacitate the victim. The way I see it, oppression in all of its forms is
among the root causes of sexual assault. Abusers usually have a strong sense of
entitlement that has the power to control which leads in committing acts of sexual assault
and automatically take advantage of their victims that are people who lack power, are in
more vulnerable and insecure positions, lack self-confidence, or have been socialized to
suffer in silence.
C: Sexual Assault can indeed cause by many factors but choosing to violate another
person is not about “drinking too much,” “trying to have a good time,” or “getting carried
away,” nor is it about the clothes someone was wearing, how they were acting, or what
type of relationship they have with the person who abused them . We cannot also use the
statement “I am an ordinary person so I make mistake” and use it as a scapegoat or a
green card to exploit someone’s body. It is just absurd that abusers, usually men,
sometimes get to exclude themselves from the narrative
R: Now that _____ have mention it, some of you may ask, why does the victim
tolerate such aggression or violence in general? Why won’t they speak up? As a person
who is exposed to different platforms, such incidents are a very controversial topic to the
public. With all the other social issues like sexism and victim blaming involve, it’s hard
enough for the victims to tell their stories and not feel like it’s their fault. Disregarding
the trauma, being judged and the feeling of not being heard enough makes it harder for
victims talk or speak which is a huge blockage to the step of healing process for millions
of victims
C: I think people just need to understand that, abusers, not victims are responsible for
sexual assault happened. Sexual assault lies on a person itself to do it or not. Violating
another person is a choice. The bottom line is, in any angle, an abuser is an abuser and a
victim is still a victim once they said NO.

Most perpetrators adhere to rigid “traditional” gender roles that focus on the inequality.
