It was clear that the women felt there was a double standard between their academic life and social life. The students felt that both men and women were to blame for this situation, and there, was little hope of a resolution in the near future. One concern that was frequently vocalized was the physical safety of women. Date rape and how various colleges handled counseling and other support services was mentioned in several interview summaries. The major problem in regards to date rape was that it was a much more wide-spread problem on campuses, but that too many women refused to come forward for fear of harassment.
Rape happens more than people think.
It takes a strong personality to prosecute over rape, to put your life in the public eye takes a lot out of you. Men were viewed as much more likely to evaluate women based on negative points and to be vocal in broadcasting their opinions in settings such as the cafeteria. Another double standard was expressed in several interviews regarding sexual attitudes. Another area that was mentioned was the disparity in women's and men's sports. Mention was made not only of the lack of funding for women's sports, but also the media attention.
