Question

On this campus, men still get away with a lot of sexist talk, sexual harassment, and even date rape.” “On this campus, political correctness has got to the point that men are scared to show normal friendly behavior to women.” Which of these two statements corresponds more closely to your opinion, and why? Do you think your sex influences your opinion?

Answer 1

According to me, men still get away with a lot of sexist talk, sexual harassment, and even date rape.

Men have had a way of dominating women since ages however times are changing and women are now being considered equal to men. In all developed countries, women have been empowered and considered equal to men when it comes to equal rights however in the underdeveloped countries women are still exploited by men.

One of the reasons men still get away with a lot of sexist talk, sexual harassment, and even date rape is because women do not make a scene for reason like they are scared of their image or reputation; When a woman is harassed, it is mostly said that it is the woman's fault and then her image in the public is tarnished. Also since lifestyles are different all around the world, women are at risk of being dominated. Men misinterpret the women's behaviour and approach and end up exploiting freedom and boundaries of women. It is always said that Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus so there are always barriers of communication between men and women. A woman may want nothing but friendship from man but a man would not understand and try to exploit their relationship. A proper understanding is required between man and woman so that women feel respected and cared for in this society.

A person's sex would mostly not influence their opinion since a person's opinion is mostly based on the situation is at hand and they would act according the situation that they are presently faced with.
