The Ranger
The miners are a pair of friends who attempt to force sex on Charlotte when she spends the night in Tunbridge. Though they initially appear harmless, Charlotte eventually realizes that their double act, which allows them to overpower women, is something that they attempt often. Their misogyny is clear not only through this strategy but in their reaction to Charlotte; they quickly switch from desiring her sexually to considering her a “whore”. Their attitudes highlight the sexist double standards prevalent in western society—standards that demand women to desire the sexual advances of men while also punishing them for that desire.

Quotes
I could’ve gone over, shown them my photo of the McAllister girl and tried to sweet-talk the information out of them, but my gut told me they wouldn’t give me anything. The boorish looks on their faces told me something else. I didn’t like it, but I knew I could handle it.
