style=\"clear:right\">Ghanaian actress, producer and tv show host Joselyn Dumas has come out swinging against the tendency to blame women\u2019s dressing as the cause of rape and sexual harassment.<\/p>\n<p>Dumas strongly denounced that type of thinking, labelling it as \u2018crap\u2019 and saying women should have the ability to dress without fear of rape or harassment.<\/p>\n<p>The actress espoused these views on the latest episode of her talk show program, \u2018Keeping it Real with Joselyn Dumas\u2019, which aired over the weekend on GhOne Tv.<\/p>\n<p>In a candid conversation with two engrossing guests, Miss Ghana 2010 Stephanie Karikari and Yaa Boadi Okudzeto, the discussion on the show centered around the difficulties women face in the corporate world in trying to get their ideas across and how to navigate the constant attention from men who want something in return for striking a deal with you.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the issue, Joselyn pushed back against the widespread perception that the way a woman dresses has something to do with a man deciding to pursue her sexually.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI read somewhere that women attract some of these men and these rape issues because of the way they dress\u2026I think that\u2019s crap.\u201d Dumas forcefully said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf men are moved by what they see so I can\u2019t wear certain clothes?\u201d the actress queried.<\/p>\n<p>Blaming the victim who suffered a crime is wrong and should not be encouraged and the actress made no bones about that fact.<\/p>\n<p>The panel also tried to decipher why some of these men who are married still try to initiate sexual encounters with ladies who come to see them for a business deal and Stephanie Karikari said it\u2019s because most men are wired to cheat, in others words, \u2018dogs\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMen are dogs,\u201d the former Miss Ghana winner said without mincing words.<\/p>\n<p>After both Dumas and Boadi interjected that \u2018some men\u2019, she added: \u201cA lot of them, I would say three quarters, especially were we are in West Africa, Ghana.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow many men don\u2019t cheat?\u201d she asked rhetorically.<\/p>\n<p>The conversation continued in this remarkable fashion for the entirety of the program, which airs every Saturday at 8:30pm on GhOne TV.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Keeping it Real\u2019 is the brainchild of the Ghanaian actress and is produced by Sparrow Productions and Virgo Sun Productions.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\"
