Young Women Need to Protect Themselves

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0700

New America Media - By Valerie Klinker - Nov. 01 (Opinion) - Rape is a big issue in our society because it has occurred for thousands of years. Rape dates back to the early American days, when Native Americans, Blacks, and Mexicans all got raped by white men, who also stole their land. I know plenty of women who have been raped. To protect themselves, now they're much more careful. They stay strapped up and watch their surroundings. It's like safe drinking or having a small child; the way you would watch others is the way you're watch out for yourself. Young women shouldn't be naïve and assume rape wouldn't ever happen to them. Don't be the only girl in a crowd full of boys who are drinking. It's just not safe.
