Answer 2

Answer:

A) Myth: Shana wears short dresses, so she wants to be assaulted.

Reality: Fashion choices do not give a person permission to assault someone.

The way that someone dresses do not allow you to do anything to them.

B) Myth: Brian could not be a victim of dating violence because he is male.

Reality: Males and females can be victims of abusive relationships.

Relationship violence does not depend on the genre, while males tend to be more violent, this does not mean that a male can not be in a situation where he is the victim.

C) Myth: Jana was not raped because she barely fought back.

Reality: Some victims are too afraid to say no in violent attacks.

D) Myth: Jill's chance of being raped is low since her partner is 16 years old.

Reality:  A large portion of rapes that occur involve teens.
