This article explains the different reasons and theories as to why blame is put on so many other people other than the rapist during rape cases. It also goes on to further discuss gender roles and specifically how "women who violate traditional gender roles are attributed more blame than those who do not". This specifically ties into my topic because I will be explaining why Lee's outburst against the EPA and government was put under more scrutiny than Cully's far worse crime of raping Willa, simply because Lee is a woman with a sub par reputation.

This article explains the different ways that women are legally mistreated, abused, and blamed throughout the world. It explains how little a woman valued and how the justifiable reason for mistreating these women is simply because that they are indeed female. This will tie into my analysis on why people have a lack of respect towards and an underestimating of Lee.

This article explains different reasons as to why individuals dissent and revoke group norms. It explores the possibilities of whether or not the dissenter has the group's well being in mind or their own well being in mind. It specifically states that "identifiers holding non-normative opinions would be more willing to dissent" which would again pertain to Lee's dissent against the EPA and her citizens of Friendswood.
