Document Summary
Topic 2: brainstorm about pros and cons of litigation for sexually assaulted women. Virtuous women, like young girls, are unconsenting, virginal, rapable. Unvirtuous women, like wives and prostitutes, are consenting, whores, unrapable one day they cannot say yes, and the next day they cannot say no. In canada, women that are not permanent residence actually have a chance of being deported if they report assault: disabled women are more targeted by man when it comes to sexual assault and violence. Their assaulters are usually someone they are dependent upon like family or care givers. They were used by rich people: used by fathers, brothers and husbnads of womens who were raped. The term came from shielding women from the traumatic experiences. The van was attached to a trailer, and they went in their so he can show her his portfolio.
