¶ … Rape and Modern Sex War" the author blames feminism for the general ignorance among women of how to avoid dangerous situations. The article calls for a more realistic assessment of the dangers faced by women today. The premise is that feminism and other modern movements that promote power and equality for women are closing their eyes to the biological and social differences that will always be part of human life. Women need to be aware of the dangers facing them in a world where masculinity is proved primarily and firstly by sex with women. It is only with this awareness that women can realize their true strength.
The premise of the second article is the opposite of the first: men and women are more equal in their desires and needs than is assumed by the first article. Saying that the only way for men to prove their masculinity is through forceful sex is unfair to the male gender. Both sexes require affection, intimacy and understanding. Furthermore, depriving women of their freedom and of the enjoyment of certain activities because they fear being raped, is unfair to the female gender. The author of this article calls for mutual understanding rather than mutual distrust.
A tend to agree more with the second article, because it shows a more open-minded, modern view of the world as it should be. The first article is very negative towards the male gender, and very protective of the female. The author requires females to be strong, and yet seems to argue that women are weak and need to protect themselves by any means necessary. The second article is more realistic. It acknowledges the danger of being raped, but does not require that women "cloister themselves up." Instead, it is recommended that women and men find a common ground where both can be happy and meet each other's and their own emotional needs with honesty and true intimacy. This is a view that is much more in tune with the century in which we live, and therefore I agree more with the second article.
Majority nevertheless are unable to fulfill this obligation even during the time of peace. The rights of women appear to be improperly safeguarded and instances of rape are by and large unreported and the national records of prosecuting sexual violence and other abuses women rights are very low. A lot of justice systems, particularly in the developed world to be precise have poor investigation norms, low records of arrests
Evolution of Rape One of the most controversial theories in evolutionary psychology is the idea that men have evolved a rape adaptation. This is considered a controversial notion because when this theory was introduced many people felt as if it was an attempt to provide excuse or justification for rape. For many years, sexual assault advocates focused on the idea that rape was about violence, not about sex, and it
3. Variables Such as Gender There are various disparities in the overall demographics of this type of offense. As one report on the demographics of sex offenders in the United States, notes; "… although the vast majority of attention on sex crimes focuses on men as the offenders, an increased awareness of females as sex offenders has surfaced in recent years." (Female Sex Offenders, 2007) This study also adds the important
They accuse Coyne of giving modern intellectuals "permission to remain biologically illiterate, through assuring them there is nothing useful or important that they could learn that would help them address the intellectual problems they face." (Tooby and Cosmides). Without undertaking an independent investigation of the evidence used to support each author's work, it is impossible to determine who makes the most valid arguments. However, if the facts listed argued by
In 1991 a short-lived coalition of opposition groups seized the capital Mogadishu and ousted Said Barre. By 1992 it is estimated that over half a million people had died through war or from starvation. Between 800,000-1.5m people fled the country to refugee camps in Ethiopia, Kenya, Yemen and Djibouti. From there many moved to Nairobi or Addis Ababa before embarking on a journey to the 'West'. In May 1991, the
Blurred Line" is a song by Robin Thicke that caused a tremendous controversy because of the video that accompanied it. Some allegations included the fact that the video condoned a rape culture and a culture that sexually objectifies women. This paper will aim to analyze some of these claims, looking at the theoretical and sociological perspective of what a rape culture is and matching some of these characteristics over
