They see women in both sexual and also financial terms: Corley says “She’s alright….I know the way to get around her.” They manipulate the woman to get what they want financially. Corley boasts that there’s “Nothing to touch a good slavey”. He describes how he used to take many girls out, spend money on them in the hope of achieving sexual conquests. Corley’s goal was to bribe the women by flattering them with gifts. In their arrangement with the slavey girl, Corley’s attitude towards women is no different; he manipulates the girl for financial profit.
PHL 2000 12-12-12 Thoughts on Prostitution Throughout modern day society, the action of prostitution is often seen as debatable with respect to different ethical issues. Prostitution can be defined as “The act or practice of engaging in sexual intercourse for money,” and is usually provided as an underground service. Although the practice is illegal in most places, it actually becomes a “viable” job source for many women. The majority of prostitutes are female, mainly from the nature of the job; however men do become prostitutes on occasion. Prostitution raises many ethical issues from it being immoral because it tends to involve coercion, prostitution can be exploitive, it is degrading and involves violence/HIV.
Iago often refers to her as a prostitute, "A house wife that by selling her desires, Buys herself bread and clothes". She has fallen in love with Cassio, yet he does not speak of his returned affection for her due to his desire for status, and her social standing would affect this dramatically. She is the jealous partner in this relationship and expresses this when Cassio produces Desdemona's handkerchief,
From this, Jones has turned Ursa's mouth, rather than her vagina, into the entry of sexual intimacy and allows their testimony to be heard. Ursa's Great-gram was repeatedly raped by Corregidora, who fathered her daughter. He also had an incestuous relationship with Gram, making him both Ursa's grandfather and great-grandfather. He forced his slave women into prostitution, but made it very clear that Great-Gram was his favorite, his “gold piece”. Heather Humann explains how Corregidora objectified Great-Gram in numerous ways, “he lays claim to her body... [by objectifying] her for his own sexual pleasures as well as for financial gain.” Great-Gram was an object of commodity.
Although she claims to have been truly in love with the elder brother, and that “the Game was over” only after she has been “trick’d once by that Cheat call’d, LOVE,” (P.51), we can still see Moll’s manipulative nature and her extreme greed, by receiving money from the older brother in exchange to fulfill his sexual favors. This suggests that her attitude towards love and marriage is very emotionless, which is an attitude that she carries forward through many of her future affairs; another example is the affair with her long-lost brother, where she deceives him by saying “I had declar’d my self to be very Poor, so that in a word, I had him fast both ways; and tho’ he might say afterwards he was cheated, yet he could never say that I had cheated him” (P.68). This again shows the dirty ways that Moll often uses to manipulate men and take advantage of them; the reader rarely gets a picture of her as a sympathetic and loving creature, and thus would feel less sympathetic towards her as well. Moll might be cruel and heartless in the way she manipulates people to benefit herself. However, it is always important to
It can be interpreted as the maids being unmarried and married women who the goblin men are trying to lure to the goblin market. The repetition of the phrase “come buy, come buy” (line 4) can also be a cry of temptation made by the goblin men. The use of rhyming couplets can also be seen as cry of temptation by the goblin men, it’s almost like their saying listen to what I have to offer you know you want to come down. There is also the use of personification which can be seen as another cry of temptation or is there another hidden meaning behind it? For example the personification used is “sweet to the tongue and sound to the eye” (line 29) the use of the phrase “sound to the eye” could that actually mean it just looks healthy but actually rotten from the inside.
Ioannou 1 Dean IoannouProfessor CampisiEthics Paper 10/29/09 The Utilitarian and Kantian Views on Prostitution One of the biggest issues that has caused controversy and debate throughout history is prostitution.

Pickton sex drive is what initiated this story. Secondly, he did not have sexual encounter with one woman, but with many of them. This indicates the increase of sex drive and proves that Pickton actions were based on the drive theory since the theory states that drive tends to increase over a period of time. Another way of examining this case using drive theory is the drive Pickton had to kill them. Since most of the women’s were prostitutes and drug addicts and because of such personality, their status is tarnished among the society and this may have been Pickton attempt to eliminate them.
For example, at the beginning of the play, Desdemona is a virgin, a quiet woman and a good wife, Emilia and Bianca are model example of an unquiet women. This due to their constant complaining to Iago and Cassio. Though, in Othellos eyes, Desdemona is considered a wanton woman, due to Iago manipulating him to believe she committed adultery. Through observing the characteristics of the generalised woman, all have a similarity. This is that they are all owned by the man, and are used for their enjoyment.
I argue that the representation of women in pornography lowers the moral status of all women and is shown through the treatment and perceptions, which are created by men, making all women as simply means and less than persons in society. The degrading and dehumanizing depictions of women in pornography impact women as a class, through the treatment and perceptions of women in the pornography industry. Women in pornography are treated simply as means, or as objects, for the sexual arousal of men. Women are treated as sexual “things” or commodities that are there for the specific purpose to provide sexual entertainment to men. This dehumanization of women is what provides men with sexual arousal for the reason that the women who are being portrayed are often being dominated, overpowered and abused by men, giving the consumers, who are mostly men, the feeling of power and control over women.
