During a time when victims are coming out and naming their
sexual assailants, there seems to be a silence on behalf of people who may have
witnessed these actions and not spoken up. This is not the case when Drake
stopped his concert to confront a man who groped a woman in the crowd. A man
who thrives in the hip-hop scene does not let the industry’s tendency to accept
sexism as an excuse for him to look the other way. It appears men and women
appreciate Drake for being so willing to speak up. Men play a role in putting an
end to sexual assault in that they can speak up and stand up for victims. Perhaps
someone like Drake actively speaking out against sexual assault will give other
men the confidence to do the same as well.
