Case: Skimpier and skimpier
As the summer has gotten hotter, Mary's classroom attire has gotten skimpier and skimpier. 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!)
I would have stopped the conversation after the woman made that comment. It is very inappropriate to use that type of language. You need to be proactive in any situation and I truly feel that if you heard the comment, you should intervene as soon as possible. I would explain to the class that those comments are not allowed to be said in my classroom. If you have nothing nice to say, do not say it at all. After stopping this conversation, would then speak with Mary alone to get a better idea of why her wardrobe is so revealing. You do not want to confront Mary with other people around; you need to make sure it is a private conversation. If this does not work, I would then send her to the office or student services in order to find something else for her to wear or talk with her. |
