Recommended: Womans role in society

Although the female who was just walking throughout the video “10 Hours of Walking” did not smile or react to any men’s action, which she wasn’t forced to, she is also not telling them to stop following her or stop gazing at her body because she felt threatened by them. So, in a way, by not saying that she wants them to stop and feeling threatened enough to not to engage with men, she is still acting in a way that is dictated by men. In other words, her not reacting is still not her choice. If it was her choice, she might at some point would’ve try to stop them. She was forced to accept the male gaze because she wouldn’t be able to stop anyone to look at her inappropriately without her consent. For instance, she doesn’t actually smile when

    When they feel rejected they can become extremely violent towards whoever they feel rejected them. Celebrities need to be made aware of how to handle stalkers, so that when they are faced with the problem they can deal with it properly. A forensic science graduate states, "Risk management strategies for this type should emphasize the need for professional protection of the target despite the low frequency risk of violence, since the injury is likely to be more serious if violence does occur …" (Mohandie). Many celebrities won't go to the police to report stalkers because they do not believe it is a real problem. This does not help them get the stalker to go away. When celebrities learn about how to deal with stalkers they are more likely to report the problem to the

  • Women Can Dump Jerks Without Help Of Lawyers, By Judy Garvis

    1049 Words  | 3 Pages

    Women should not be forced to put up with any unwanted sexual advances from men. This is a major problem throughout the world yet it seems to fly under the radar. We need to make sure all women know it is okay to speak up about this and not feel ashamed for something that is not their fault. However, articles that reject these ideas such as "Women Can Dump Jerks Without Help of Lawyers", by Judy Jarvis make it difficult for women to feel comfortable enough to voice their problems. In her writing, Judy Garvis expresses her distaste of the concept of women who "play the victim". However, I actually do feel that women should no longer stay quiet on this topic and once and for all destroy this idea that women must suck it up and live in an environment

    Most people assume that most stalking victims are women, but law officials have found that the number of male and female victims are roughly equal (Brownstein). It has been proven that, “The nature of the relationship between targets and stalkers seems to be different for women and men.” Statistically, females usually know their stalker, while male victims usually have no personal relationship with their stalker (Accomando and Anderson). Most of the time, men will not report that they are being stalked unless they feel it is life threatening because some do not see women as a threat (Wigman). Victims are not powerless, but they are in a rough and dangerous position

  • The Importance Of Criminal Deviance

    While the victim on this show was taken seriously and given a rape kit, she was still asked what she was wearing and whether or not she welcomed the man’s behavior with flirtation. These sorts of questions do touch on how many rape cases are biased against women and do not usually work in their favor. Also, motivational theories in sociology focus on social factors which drive a person to commit crimes (Wadsworth). In this case, the defense argues that the woman’s behavior, appearance, and attitude demonstrated that she wanted to have sex. As a result of these social factors and indicators, he to committed a deviant

  • Men Explain Things To Me By Rebecca Solnit Summary

    1637 Words  | 4 Pages

    The fear of that violence limits most women in ways they’ve gotten so used to that they hardly notice and hardly address. The author points out, that there’s no good reason colleges spend more time telling woman how to survive predators than telling the other half of their students not to be predators. This is embedded into our political and legal system, which before feminism didn’t recognize most domestic violence, or sexual harassment and stalking, or date rape, or acquaintance rape, or marital rape, and in cases of rape still often tries the victim instead of the rapist as though only perfect lady could be assaulted or believed. When a woman says something about male misconduct, she is almost always portrayed as delusional, a malicious conspirator, a pathological liar, a whiner who doesn’t recognize it’s all in fun. They are asked questions on their choice of dress or maybe they did something to provoke or encourage this behavior. Solnit used a personal experience where she “objected to the behavior of a man, only to be told that the incidents had not happened at all as she said, that she was being subjective, delusional, overwrought, dishonest and in a nutshell, female” and therefore not a reliable witness for her own life. The truth is not their property now or ever. The implications that women as a

    From the very beginning of the movie, we witness a man (Rick) and a women (Jean) walking down the street. When threatened by two men, Jean immediately turns to her husband for protection regardless of the fact that he is no better equipped to deal with the threat. This scene highlights traditional gender roles found in society. Men are typically casted as protectors who are superior to women whereas women are weak and in need of protection. Another example of male’s superiority is when Officer Ryan pulls over Cameron and Christine and utilizes his position as a man with authority to sexually assault

It was first coined by Laura Mulvey, a British feminist film critic, in her essay “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema” (1975).

    Most people watch this documentary and assume that it is women who we must blame for the suffering of these men. Perhaps if they weren’t so “shallow,” and they were more accepting of all kinds of men, this wouldn’t be the problem. In contrast, I seem to think that women are not at fault. A few bad apples do not poison the rest of the group. The men have themselves and their lack of self esteem to blame.

  • Feminism In The 1900's

    One out of sixteen men and one out of five women are sexually assaulted in college, but 63% of rape crimes are not reported. In collusion women report their sexual assaults more than men. Also, they put men in a box labeled rapist, but only if feminist accepted the fact that women rape not only men, but also other women. In a video called “Street Harassment”, by OCATIV; it includes women that are talking about what women have to deal with while walking down the streets of New York and how men treat women in life. As in their opinion sexaul assault and harassment are watered down to catcalls, whistles, looks/glances, being called beautiful, or being told goodmorning. The second lady walks through downtown Detroit of New York and she even admits her outfit is provocative, but she wasn’t provoking; which provocative is to arouse sexual desire or interest, especially deliberately or cause annoyance, anger, or strong reaction, especially deliberately. What a quote to end all quotes and to continue this mind blowing ignorance. Buzzfeed also supports feminism, but they have no logic. In their video “36 questions women have for men” starts off with “How does it feel to have the same sex as Donald Trump?”, anyone with enough sense would know this video is going to be unscrupulous. Later in the video they ask, “Why do you guys sit with your legs open? Like I know you have balls, but you don’t see me with my arms

    It's really nerve-racking for mostly women but some men whenever you are all alone and appear defenseless. We have to be constantly aware of our surroundings because there's always a chance of being raped, mugged, or captured. Sadly this happens more often than it should. Men in general may just have to accept it and not take women running or walking faster in the wrong way. Most likely we will continue to be afraid, not to personally victimize someone, just to be cautious because we have

  • Hip Hop Degrade Women Essay

    736 Words  | 2 Pages

    In almost every music video that comes out they have half-naked women and other men see that and think these rappers are living the good life. For instance the music video “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thick and Pharrell Williams they dance and touch these naked models. (Makarechi) The majority of people would say that there is no sexism in the culture of Hip-Hop. Artists and listeners would more than likely agree that women want to be called and treated like an object. Women on the other hand, feel that they need to fit the description of becoming a video vixen. As mentioned before these women are in these videos dancing to these negative lyrics because they believe these rappers aren’t talking about them. (McLune) Maybe this society doesn’t care about how women are put down; at least that is what seems to be
