Why women stay silent after sexual assault
Summary
Why will women stay silent after sexual assault?
It’s because a thing happens that is worse than the rape itself. It’s “BLAMING THE VICTIM”. The speaker explained it by using questions, though, l think that it makes the story difficult.

A young woman going to clubs, going to clubs with friends, and wearing miniskirts, those things don’t look her a victim. Even avoiding killing, she is not a victim. Unable to resist to survive turns that not to resist.
Furthermore, it’s thought that men are strong existingly, women can’t live if they can’t marry, and talking a lot is shameful in Japan. Not only women are unable to speak but also women who don’t speak is ordinary in Japan. Thus l don’t know what that responsibility in this story means.

The speaker’s last sentences are women will continue to be unable to speak and we will all continue to be responsible for that silence and their solitude.
