I am Right because I am a Woman

A court case against Dan Murdock, an Oklahoma City attorney highlights an important social problem and forces us to think if women take advantage of being perceived as a weaker gender. Just because they are women can make their position stronger and story believable. It is true that physically not all women can be as strong as most of the men, in spite of rigorous physical training or working hard to acquire physical strength. There are evidences that women have wrongly accused men of taking advantage of them. These false convictions can ruin the entire lives of men and few even commit suicide because of the shameful charge.

The case against attorney Dan Murdock describes that in a marriage function, the attorney invited a woman to a lonely suite, pulled down her strapless top and bit her breast. She was seen crying and claimed a sexual battery law suit. What surprised me most was the public reaction. Very few people supported the woman. When I was reading the news article, I had the same feeling. I put myself in her place and thought what I would have done in such a situation? I would have shouted, asked for people’s help or tried to hit the 62 year old attorney. The second thought that came into my mind was that few women have a different way of reacting. They get shocked by this type of situation and react later. In such circumstances the first reaction is crying.

The public response (most of them) for this article declared the woman being wrong because she accepted the invitation to go to a lonely suite with the attorney and didn’t shout for help. She was instead seen crying. My opinion was very similar- isn’t it unrealistic to accept an attorney’s invitation to visit a lonely place but at the same time not expect a malicious behavior. Do you have sympathy for the women or feel she should have known about the consequences once the attorney took her to a lonely suite? Was she telling the truth or trying to spoil the image of the reputed attorney? At times, can being physically weak become a woman’s strength?
