The public does not know how to adequately and appropriately respond to rape because usually when these incidents occur, typically perpetrated by men who victimize women, society tends to blame the survived, while excusing and justifying the aggressor. This almost always occurs when the perpetrator is a white, upper-class male, as in the most recent case of the Harvard rapist who was sentenced to just six months in prison for raping an unconscious woman. Black rapists are generally given longer sentences than white rapists, while many of these rapists sometimes do not serve any time in prison or be charged for their crime. Rape can occur from women to men, from women to other women, and from men to other men, but due to the unbalanced power dynamics that leave women hierarchically inferior to men, they are very often victims of these social superiors..
