Study Notes
Bystander Intervention
- Direct intervention may not be effective if the individual is likely to become defensive or hostile.
- Bystander intervention includes actions such as addressing sexist comments, accompanying someone home, or seeking help from someone more experienced.
Types of Harassment
- Quid pro quo harassment involves exchanging something for sexual favors.
- A hostile environment is created by persistent sexual jokes, offensive comments, inappropriate touching, or indecent gestures.
Stalking and Violence
- Stalking is directed behavior that instills fear for safety or causes emotional distress in a specific person.
- Domestic violence can occur even with a single violent incident within a relationship.
Evidence and Legal Actions
- Agreeing to a rape kit exam is not a commitment to legal action but preserves evidence for potential future decisions.
Communication in Relationships
- Arguments are common in relationships but should be relatively rare, requiring compromise from both parties.
- Healthy compromise involves understanding that not all needs will always be met by each partner.
Consent and Victim Blame
- Consent must come from at least one person before any sexual activity occurs.
- Victims of sexual assault are never to blame for the assault; it is the perpetrator's responsibility.
Effective Strategies
- The three D's in bystander intervention are direct, distract, and delegate.
- Keeping a record of encounters is crucial if you suspect you are being stalked, including dates, times, and locations.
Consequences of Harassment
- Sexual harassment impacts not just the target but also anyone witnessing the behavior, contributing to a hostile environment.
- Intervening in potentially harmful situations can lead to positive outcomes such as preventing injury or assisting potential victims.
Relationship Dynamics
- Domestic violence can be perpetrated by current or former intimate partners or family members, encompassing a wide array of living situations.
- It is often more helpful to express concerns calmly rather than instructing victims of abuse to leave their situations immediately.
