violent acts against women by karen schoono ver one out of every six girls on college campuses today will be sexually assaulted by someone they date linda sanford author of women and self esteem and improving the way we think and feel about ourselves said in a lecture tuesday night in packard lab auditorium some women feel that if a guy spends money on them that they're a terrible person for refusing sex for them it's a way of showing gratitude even if the women don't want to do it according to sanford women should not feel obligated to pay them back by giving in to sex sanford drew several connections among various sexual crimes such as rape exhibitionism assault and incest one connection she mentioned was the victim's tendency to take responsibility for the crime according to sanford it is human nature to want to be in control of oneself a woman who is raped often takes responsibility because she would rather feel guilty and responsible than be innocent and helpless sanford who runs a clinic for abused children and sex offenders used one of her patients as an illustration responding to a newspaper advertisement a woman went to a nearby apartment complex to inquire about the room for rent she was subsequently raped by the man showing her the room i remember her saying i should have known uhl named trustee chair edward uhl chairman of the board and chief

for itself and his active involvement in lehigh affairs particularly in areas involving academics demonstrates his interest in all facets of educating today's young people in the context of see chairman page 13 there was no apartment for rent sign in the window i should have known it's a typical response sanford said a second similarity is that society has made women out to be evil temptresses regardless of the kind of sex offense it's like eve with her apple or with springsteen it was her pink cadallic women are evil and deserve to have this done to them sanford traced this belief back to god being defined as all powerful all knowing and all male people began to question where evil came from and it got passed on to women she also noted that with the caveman's concept of property came the theory of dominance physical abusers usually feel inadequate and out of control forcing sex upon a woman is sometimes the only way they can feel dominating and in control some men find women today too threatening so they go to the next weakest group the children one would hope that if they feel the need to dominate someone they would all go off together somewhere like camp somehow it begins to make me worry about the cats and d0g5 1 think they're next sanford mentioned the women's liberation theory whereby men retalliate because the sex roles are changing it's a sexual blackmail they often get frustrated with powerful women and violate uiiiuicii sec 1 page 11 straw dog b4w pholo by bk.l vwlbon comedian mark weiner imftatm dracula with an ovwbm during • tpactal
