  • The Social Construction of Rape

    1580 Words  | 4 Pages

    Oftentimes, the things individuals take for granted as preexisting facts are merely the products of social construction, which exert tremendous impacts on belief and action. Men and women are socially constructed categories inscribed by norms of masculinity and femininity that enables rape to occur. Catharine MacKinnon claims that rape is defined in a male perspective, which lacks the account of female experience. On the other hand, Sharon Marcus argues that rape is a constructed language that scripts the female body. As bell hooks points out, black men celebrate “rape culture” as a mean of expressing patriarchal dominance and endorsing female subordination. In order to redefine rape and to develop effective rape prevention, it is crucial to deconstruct the predetermined assumptions about men and women. Rape is socially constructed, through the ways how individuals possess misogynistic ideologies and endorse patriarchal power, turning the erotic fantasy of male dominance into “reality”.

This thesis does exclude run-of-the-mill deception like someone’s sexual history, t.v show preferences, or how funny one finds the other.

    The women’s bodies in the film are for erotic display even without full nudity and no ale eroticism is implied in the film. The prostitutes (inmates) are the whores who cannot be trusted all together because none of them are innocent anymore and are only simply utilized by them ad must follow their rules. The film wants to celebrate independence of females from the male’s dominance with their own female will-power but that can be somewhat contradicted since the role of The Wise Man played by Scott Glenn leads the way for the females and gives them advice. But in this film, every scene he is in, he only does just that and gives them clues so that the females CAN lead themselves to their escape. The lighting in the film also contributes to the beauty of the female body when there are revealing outfits and there are colorful lights that help excentuate their bodies. Babydoll and the rest of the females are killed off except for Sweat Pea in the end who escapes on a bus because she is rewarded in the end for distracting the visitors and is saved for not fighting back, but sacrificing herself. In the end Babydoll escapes as well but receives a lobotomy therefore finds paradise in another manner. But the plot twist is that Babydoll is

  • Misunderstandings in Gender: Women Sexual Predators

    1575 Words  | 4 Pages

    There are many heinous crimes that have saturated our society; news reports of a woman being attacked while walking to her car late at night, a child being abducted and his frantic mother pleading with the assailant to let her child go. There is a common theme threaded into the reports we frequently see plastered on our television screens and that theme is masculinity in crime. It seems almost unfathomable that a woman could commit murder, least of all a sex crime. Due to this distorted thinking of the masses, society has shaped judicial systems worldwide to panelize women less frequently and even less harshly than their male counterparts. When a jury of peers sits in judgment of little Susie Q, wife and mother of 4, on counts of child molestation the initial opinion is that of disbelief. If this was a man sitting in Susie’s place, that man is likely considered a pervert, well before any facts or evidence is even mentioned.
