Sexual Assault Discussion Board Post

Please answer the following discussion board prompt: 

This week we learned about the culture of sexual assault on college campuses as well as perpetrators. For this week’s discussion post:

Pick one example of sexual assault on college campus covered by the media (include the link to the media source in your original discussion post). If you need help finding an example, please reach out!

Identify and reflect on how “perpetrators” have been represented by paying particular attention to how salient identities such as gender and race intersect in the reporting of the case. 

1. Discuss how the portrayal of perpetrators (on college campuses) by the media aligns with or challenges the ideas put forth in this week’s reading materials (Tip: you may bring in your own experience with societal expectations of gender/masculinity in the U.S. in support of your response).
