What started with halter tops and miniskirts has quickly escalated into bikini tops and thong-revealing short shorts. While this has made her extremely popular with the men in the class (who flirt and lavish attention on her), the women in the class are unimpressed with her wardrobe and make rude comments behind her back before she comes to class. During a discussion on sexual assault, a woman in the class makes the comment, "If the girl dresses like a prostitute, she gets what she deserves." Mary does a slow turn and says indignantly, "You better not be talking about me." When should I have intervened? How?, What should I say to Mary? What should I say to the student who made the comment, and to the rest of the class? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Mary should have never had a second day to wear inappropriate clothing. The dress code should have been discussed and if she wore the clothing that was inappropriate, then she should be sent home any time she did it. After that, there would need to be more consequences: write-ups, calls to parents.
