In the aftermath of the attack, Emma and Katie are met with disbelief and judgment. The police are quick to dismiss their case, and their friends and family blame them for their own victimization. Emma is told that she was "asking for it" because she was wearing a short skirt, and Katie is accused of being a "slut" because she had been drinking.

O'Neill's play is a powerful indictment of the culture of victim-blaming that surrounds sexual violence. She shows how this culture silences victims and makes it difficult for them to get justice. She also challenges the myths about sexual assault, such as the belief that victims are always responsible for their own victimization.

Asking For It is a difficult play to watch, but it is an important one. It is a play that will stay with you long after you have seen it. It is a play that will make you think about the issue of sexual violence in a new way.
