Another disturbing revelation about her childhood was that Aileen had sexual relations at a young age, but with her brother Keith. One man who testified in court admitted that he lost his virginity to her, but right after he brother Keith was done having sex with Aileen. This disturbing issue revealed that there was a high probability that Aileen was molested by her closest relatives, and was psychologically reduced to a whore at a very young age. The social trait theory proves that her environment was not only unsupportive but also very dangerous at her once tender age. She was rejected, exposed, and abused to the point where it was a norm.
Most humans have fear in speaking against something that is unjust and a violation of our dignity because it gives power to the higher authority to control. Sex trafficking has been a violation of our dignity as well because society fails to give it such importance and education. While viewing the colloquium on sex trafficking, Dr. Brian showed a short 5-minute video by Nicholas Kristoff who was a journalist by the NY Times that aired a documentary particularly about a 14-year-old girl who was forced into prosecution in Asia and then was left to be physical abused to an extent that she lost an eye. I could imagine how cruel our society can be. What hope and dignity did this girl have left at such a young age?
During her trail scene, she is accused of being a whore and it is at this point in the play that she gains a voice. In this scene Vittoria exploits the constraints held over women by men. She refused to listen those talking in Latin, “I will not have any accusations clouded/ in a strange tongue” and begins to personate masculine virtue. As Vittoria speaks she is damned because she breaks her silence, her bad reputation is her ‘public fault’. A women who publicly speaks ultimately becomes a public women and is guilty of public sexuality: she is publicly accused of being a whore in this scene.

In this scene, Tiffany portrays the physical powerlessness among woman, when confronted by violent youths. The language of the characters and the stage directions contribute to the conveyance of violence in this scene. The quote, “She runs away. Ricko attacks Jared.
Naguib Mahfouz made the reader understand the suffering of the women in our society. He tried to show us the tragic position that the young girl had in the short story "The Answer Is No". Also he succeeded in analyzing the psychology of the young girl, and how she could overcome the trap that the man put her in. The short story is entitled "The Answer Is No" because the young girl revolted against the male-dominated society, her weakness, and also to the future love and the past that she had by saying "NO". When she was raped, she didn't understand what had happened to her, and she was shocked and every inch of her body was trembling.
When a man is referred to as a ‘slut” it doesn’t associate to the actual definition used by society. But when a woman is called a “slut” it automatically associates her with a prostitute and she is then frowned upon by society. (Evalee) There seems to be a double standard when it comes to these male to female connotations .One in six women and one in thirty three men have been sexually assaulted in their lifetime. In our modern society women have been degraded to being pieces of meat or just a pair of sexy legs. (Evalee) Although women have come along way since their efforts in aiding the war, today women around the world still face prejudice, underestimation and gender discrimination only because they are women.
Diana Scutt English 090- College Writing Skills Dr. Schillig 29 November 2011 Argument Essay Mean Girls Bullying is an epidemic that our schools face; everyone has been bullied in some type of form at one point in their lives.

I really feel for this girl. I think that she must have lost her family and friends down the road of her addiction. She must’ve pushed them away for her to have nobody.
