Sex and sexual orientation A series of studies revealed differences between male and female respondents’ attributions of blame for being a victim of sexual assault depending on the victim’s gender, sexual orientation and behaviour (Davies, Austen and Rogers, 2011; Davies, Gilston and Rogers, 2012; Davies, Rogers and Whitelegg, 2009). Using a scenario in which a 15-year-old victim of sexual assault was described as either male or female, heterosexual or homosexual, and resistant or submissive, in an attack perpetrated by either a male or female relative, the research identified that male respondents attributed the most blame to the gay, male, submissive victim, and the least to the heterosexual, male, resistant victim (Davies, Rogers and Whitelegg, 2009).
