However, in a troubling number of newspaper articles, radio broadcasts, television discussions, and my own daily conversations, the fact that this woman is a stripper is advanced as some sort of explanation as to why the alleged rape occurred: “Well, she is a stripper,” they say. “I’m never surprised when strippers get raped.” And, if we’re being...
