I watched the film called “Out in the Night” which reflects the story of four young Black lesbians who experience sexual harassment on the street which happened in West Greenwich Village, Manhattan. When they act in self-defense, they are wrongfully blamed, detained, and imprisoned. The man that sexually threatened the women with brutality didn’t get accused while the four women were viewed as gang-related violence. The police haven’t keep in mind that these women were threatened with sexual violence, to only be arrested for defending themselves from a hate crime that was captured on video surveillance cameras in which their rights were disrupted like it was never there.
Crenshaw’s talks about how women’s violation is something the society is not aware of or doesn’t care about. And her words connects to the story above how women are facing unfairness when it comes to gender which is a huge problem.
