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

  • In The Combat Zone Summary

    776 Words  | 2 Pages

    The article “In the Combat Zone” was written by Leslie Marmon Silko. In her article she makes many valid examples of how women are treated like easy prey. Women are afraid to go out at night alone, because that is when numerous rapes and kidnappings take place. Although most rapes, kidnappings, and robberies happen at night, there are still cases that have occurred during the daylight. Silko gave several examples of these daylight occurrences. She also states that a woman’s mindset of being in a combat zone differs by how the woman was raised. If a woman was raised to depend on others, then that woman would be a higher target. If a woman was raised to defend herself and be dependent, then that woman would be less of a target because they would not show fear.

  • 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 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.

    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

  • 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
