While some aspects of sexuality were considered evil, most people during the Middle Ages agreed that sex was appropriate for procreation, applying God’s command to have children (Harksen); so while being a virgin was an ideal, it was unrealistic for the majority of the population. The idea that women were inferior and should submit to men was pervasive throughout medieval society and especially the church, which was indisputably the principal societal force during the Middle Ages. In Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, there are two women who fall into this category of the “perfect woman”: Lady Guinevere and the Virgin Mary, with Guinevere being the more “real” of the two and Mary being the “ultimate” woman. According to Marina Warner, Mary is an archetype for perfect behavior for women, symbolizing obedience and modesty. She is also a virgin, which means that she has managed to avoid the source of all evil, which, according to Christianity, is sexuality; however, she is also a mother, which is an important aspect of being a medieval woman.
Whereas in the hand maids tale, the maiden has a sexual relationship with the driver Nick after listening to the commanders wife instructing her that she should become pregnant as soon as possible. This was beneficial to both women as the commanders wife wanted to be rid of the hand maid as quickly as she could, and is was also a way of the hand maiden to escape from the world she was being controlled by. Therefore the novels also use sex in different ways of control, Atwood uses it to differentiate between sterile women and unsterile women. The sterile women are dressed all in red so it shows that they are being used just as prostitutes. They are surrogate mothers giving birth to babies for the commanders wives who are unable to have children.
Accompanying the civil rights movement and women’s rights movement, the sexual revolution changed the way America treated individual sexual choices. Medical reforms were made which addressed a woman’s right to make sexual choices by using contraception, sexually charged media became available with help from the hippie counterculture’s trends in music and movies, and the line between women’s and men’s roles became thinner. The sexual revolution was a symbol of America breaking free from the constraints of social norms, and embracing the choice of an individual
He then went on to say that women’s domestic roles gave them the opportunity to hide crimes such as poisoning relatives and sexually abusing their children. An important factor for why there is an under-recording of female crime, according to Pollack, is that women are particularly adept at hiding their crimes; he attributed this to female biology. Women have become accustomed to deceiving men because traditional taboos prevent women from revealing pain and discomfort resulting from menstruation. Furthermore, women also learn to mislead men during sex; men can’t disguise sexual arousal when they get an erection, whereas women cab take part in sexual intercourse while faking interest and pleasure. However, Stephen Jones points out that Pollack gave no real evidence that female domestic servants commit many crimes against their employers or that women are better at concealing crimes than men.
The ‘60s was a time of societal change on many fronts, from the feminist movement, to gay and civil rights issues. Sex was also lumped somewhere in there, during that time premarital sex wasn’t accepted the way it is today. The arrival of the pill played a tremendous role in granting women sexual liberation. Now women could choose to have sex without being married. By freeing themselves of traditional social roles, women were told to unleash their inner felines and put their bodies on full display.
Woman in special were in of great need to be given rights as they were classified as almost nothing in society. At the time there was a lot that woman could not do due to the poor laws, while legally and morally a man could get away with doing so much more. Woman couldn’t open any bank accounts and once married the husband would had complete control over any financial incomes that they earned. Also woman were expected to have sex with only one man while it was acceptable for men to have multiple partners in their life. In a way this moral and legal discrimination is equally a big issue in the 21st century.
Child Beauty Pageants Is allowing your child to participate in pageants protecting and caring for your child in the best way possible or is it perverting the natural beauty found in every child to some impossible painted standard best adhered to only by drag queens? The old saying goes; beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In other words, someone or something that is considered attractive to one person may not necessarily appeal to another. If we lived in a perfect world, maybe everyone would follow the wise words of this old saying and admit that evaluating beauty is a biased practice. Beauty pageants are a needless aspect in society simply because they put a big emphasis on money, set unrealistic beauty standards for easily influenced young girls, and they encourage judging on appearance, rather than on a person's character.
People even arrange marriages to keep their business alive and kicking or to be able to create a merger through the two people who are getting married. So what many people see is instead of people getting married out of love is people getting married for other reasons, unlike people same-sex couples who love each other so much and want to get married legally and
This is because the expressive role of the family is lead by women who are seen as being biologically suited to look after the emotional needs of the children. In Parsons view nuclear families are able to ensure gender role socialisation occurs due to there being both a male and female role model for children to imitate. Murdock felt that social control was a key aspect of socialisation. He focused on the way nuclear families regulate sexual behaviour and how the emotional bond of marital sex commits inviduals to family life, preventing unregulated sexual behaviour which is seen by Murdock to destabilise society. The families role in socialisation is to set boundaries and eliminate deviancy to ensure children know right from wrong and maintain value consensus in society.
