And the heart, even in this commercial age, finds a way”(222)—implying that, although not perfect, online romance can work.

Some girls put themselves in situations that put them at higher risk. These situations can be getting high and drunk at a party or at a guys house and he takes advantage of her, as well as wearing provocative clothing and having a reputation of having sex with others. Many of these boys believe that if you take a girl out to a nice restaurant and buy her stuff that they deserve to have sex.

Men use slut-bashing to keep sexuality under control while women to undermine other women. Either or, the power of doing so governs many actions done by people.
The impacts socially of the gendercide include women being married younger and younger due to the lack of suitable age females. This young marriage and the pressures on the young girls to provide families causes them to miscarriages and create harm to their underdeveloped bodies. In addition to younger marriages, high rates of prostitution become a problem. Most girls will be stolen and sold into sex trafficking. The lack of females causes male tensions to be high with no female perspective to calm down all the male testosterone in the environment. With no females to marry and love, they turn to illegal practices to satisfy their desires. The marriage of such young females also hurts their opportunity to grow and develop as women in society.

There are two most common types of sexual advances that women face, street harassment and sexual harassment in the workplace.
