One of the ways this is illustrated through is in the second stanza he describes her as being ‘slapped up’. The onomatopoeic phrase suggests men’s sarcastic prejudice view on women as sexual objects; it also emphasizes the challenges the girl is facing in men’s attitudes toward her. Larkin also humiliates the girl by describing the obscene disfigurement to the image of her ‘huge tits... A tuberous cock and balls’. The taboo language helps to demonstrate more than just adolescent immaturity but deliberate and repeated attempts to degrade her by a kind of visual rape. However one could also argue that Larkin seems to justify violence against women by suggesting that access to women is something men have been unfairly deprived of.
In Lepines’ letter, he sites how feminists had ruined his life and they were the reason he committed this crime. Feminist theory on crime explains this thought clearly. Lepines’ ideas about the roles of women were formed by a patriarchal society leading him to believe in some that women were not equal to men and should not be given all the opportunities of men (Knuttila, 305). These women wanted to be educated and become engineers; Lepine could not cope with this fact and blamed women, namely feminist for his short comings in life. Did Lepine come up with these ideas himself or was he a product of a society that dictated classical roles and oppression of women?
‘Pretending that such a sexist institution can bring ‘women’s rights’ to Afghanistan is a sickening piece of hypocrisy’ (Army’s rotten sexism: a product of training killers 2011). In addition, men that work in the army are exposed to violence, brutality, intense pain and witnessing of death very often. This may be the cause of the men acting in such barbaric ways as they need some sort of distraction of the problems that they may find difficult to face in the real world and turn to women as a form of amusement. Additionally, in modern societies, some women tend to expose themselves more due to their femininity. This can cause misunderstandings in a workplace and men may take this up as an invitation.
Violating a person in such a way is horrible, cruel and it can lead to severe physiological problems of the victim. Rape is not beneficial to society and it is not agreed upon by both parties, but instead forced upon on the one not in agreement. Rape is not only with women, but also with children and men. There are those who specifically target women because they know they can overpower them if they need to in order to get their way. Children or minors may lack the judgment needed for valid consent.
Another example of how strain applies to these women can be seen in Agnew’s writings when he said “Data suggest that child abuse and neglect negative school experiences, chronic unemployment, and residence in deprived communities are important causes sate anger and that such anger explains much of the effective of strains on crime.” (Agnew, Chp. 9) The presentation of negative stimuli or in the case of the African American battered women this was the abuse they received, regularly, which will cause large amounts of strain. The way most of these women dealt with the abuse was through drug and alcohol
Get the fuck out after you're done". Not only is he referring to women as bitches and tricks, he also passionately expresses that women aren't worth anything more than to be used as a sex slave. Besides degrading women by saying what they want them to do for them, some artist state what they already have done to women. In one of the rap artist Lil Wayne's song, he openly tells all his sexual encounters with numerous women naming the song "Alphabet Bitches". After alphabetizing each woman with their personal sex express with the artist he ends the song repeatedly saying "These are my bitches, my Alphabet Bitches, I got bitches".
Female Chauvinist Pigs are women who sexually only objectify other women and themselves. Some women gain empowerment by disciplining oneself from women who are “girly girls”, while simultaneously objectifying such women like going to strip clubs and reading Playboy. Others gain empowerment by objectifying themselves through sexual appeal. Both are an attempt to gain status whether being through the attempt of acting like a male chauvinist or through embodying what society portrays as the ideal object of male desire. As an example, Camille Paglia, in an interview with spin magazine expresses “The people who criticize me, these
On the other hand that’s not always true, because if they didn’t want to have sexual intercourse with you this is considered rape, but if you give them money and they decide to that another story. Goodman stated, Rape perverts such meanings, and overlays a passionate or passionless violence on sexuality that violates the victim’s psyche even as her bodily integrity and self-image are violated and abused. (Goodman, 2010, pg.92) Clitoridectomy, is considered a women circumcision, in which the clitoris is removed with use of a surgery. This is practiced in numerous cultures and is used to guard virginity and to reduce sexual desire. This is a physically and agonizing procedure that no would should have to endure, and my opinion anyone who practices it would be incarcerated for attempt to murder.
Essentially, the entertainments that we see and hear from men deal with violence, and women entertain the viewers sexually. Evidently, the ads presented in “Two ways a woman can get hurt,” Kilbourne expounds on how women’s sexual appeal hurts themselves. In “From Fly-Girls to Bitches and Hos,” Morgan relates gender behavior to hip hop lyrics. Furthermore, she questions
Women’s Prison Subculture: An Analysis and Comparison to Men’s Prisons Breione R. Nora Southern University Of New Orleans Abstract In the 18th century society, one that placed such heavy emphasis on traditional roles, to be a criminal was seen as a greater violation of the female sex role than that of the male. Back in times where society generally expected a woman to present herself as a “lady”, it was perceived that for her to be a criminal, she must have had to be either crazy (commonly referred to as “mad“) or just inherently evil. This, along with the fact that women were considered property, contributed to the substandard treatment of women in corrections. Throughout the 19th century, female prisoners were generally incarcerated
