Performances also looked at sexual assault from the perspective of a rape victim's relatives. He felt guilty, angry and confused because his girlfriend did not want his help. I'm male, and so was he. Audience member Jennifer Taulbee, a University alumna, said the skit made her realize rape affects more people than the victim. Pham, one of the skit's three performers, said Western culture teaches men they must be violent to be accepted.
Every man knows what it's like to be teased and called a girl.
The messages presented by the skits were powerful because they were universal, said Anita Hund, production assistant for the show. Hund said she left the performances with a better understanding of how society's structures facilitate abuse.
