A Critical Analysis of Camille Paglia: “On Date Rape” Date Rape, as defined by the oxford dictionary; “forced sexual intercourse by a male acquaintance of a woman, during a voluntary social engagement in which the woman did not intend to submit to the sexual advances, and resisted the acts”. This defers from other types of rape due to the fact that the victim and the rapist have some type of social relationship leaving the victim more venerable. Rohypnol, also known as “the date rape drug”, is a narcotic used in social events to attempt to sexually assault a person. The drug is normally administered into some unsuspecting woman’s drink. It is colorless, orderless and flavorless, thus making it a very dangerous narcotic.
She will not give it away.” (89) Esperanza looks up to Sally because she feels that Sally is the woman in the movies who is “beautiful and cruel” and wishes to be just like that, a woman who has all this power over men with her sexuality, without actually having sex with them. Eventually, Esperanza realizes that Sally is not that type of person. Sally’s sexual adventures become too much for Esperanza causing her discomfort, and putting her in a life-threatening situation. Esperanza’s understanding of Sally changes drastically when they go to the carnival and Sally goes with a boy somewhere and has sex with him, leaving Esperanza to be raped by another boy. The following passage illustrates Esperanza’s
“The construction of gender stereotyping of both males and females in the media is based on outdated and unfounded beliefs and therefore has had and continues to have a detrimental impact on society.” (Yes!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUyfD1F7k1I Women are subjected to many stereotypes in today’s society. Movies and television shows suggest that all women are airheads, whose sole purpose in life is to please men and rear children. Magazines and other advertisements push photographs of very slender, over groomed and “sexy women” into our minds. Men’s magazines write articles on how to seduce a girl into sleeping with them.
Clearly the way to get beautiful women is to ignore them, perhaps mistreat them" (272). The ad Kilbounre is describing is similar to the picture in the Bebe ad, and she is trying to make women see just how degrading these images are. The woman in the Bebe ad is very desperately attempting to get the man's attention by leaning on him and focusing her attention on him, but he doesn't seem interested. The image is posed like that to show superiority and power that men supposedly have over women. This teaches women that they need to constantly dote on the man, whether he pays attention or not.
There are a couple other major inconsistencies in the two perspectives. The conversation at night when Hilary announces her engagement and the circumstances leading up to Jackie and Kiffer having sex. During the conversation at night the two perspectives show the two sisters viewing each other as being cruel. This all happens because Jackie replies, “The truth is, you’re not special.” Both of the sisters perspectives shows this response but with totally different meanings. Hilary views her sister as being the cruel one for saying such a sarcastic remark.
Garrett 1 Sarah Garrett English 111, LO2 Instructor Morris 9 March 2015 Breast Milk vs Formula The decision to breastfeed or bottle feed a newborn baby, can be a very controversial subject. Many factors can alter the decision to breastfeed or bottle feed. The choice of breastfeeding is very personal, and varies on factors of the mother’s life and personal preference.

Sometimes a mother’s work schedule is not conducive to breastfeeding, therefore she must bottle feed her infant.
All of this started when Isabella’s sister, Claudio, was arrested for getting his lover pregnant prior to marriage. This was a more technical issue because while they had said their vows, they did not have the money to actually get married. As soon as this was found out, Angelo heartlessly sent Claudio to jail and to have him executed. Angelo was absolutely abusing his powers over this and obviously, his political views are more important than his religious views. If he had any sense of religious morals, he would have accepted the fact that because they said their vows, it is perfectly legal for them to bare a child.
These porn stars appear as forever willing sexual partners, anxiously waiting to have you as their partner. The trouble with this image of women is that it is not real, it is fake. Women are wonderful human beings, and a total intimate relationship with them is not a onetime thing, but a full time lifetime thing. If porn is watched, it tends to cause expectations in men that could never be met by a real woman. Pornography clearly shows women as sex objects, things that are disposable.
In ancient culture, rape was considered a crime against a man’s property, since women were considered possessions and not people. (Cheryl Regehr, 2008) Rape used to be considered a weapon of war. Today, it is a criminal act of war under international war laws. (Charlotte Lindsey-Curtet, 2004) Until 1983, it was impossible for a husband to rape his wife. Today, the law has been amended to extend rights to a married woman, she does not have to have sex with her husband if she does not want to and if he doesn’t accept that answer, he is sexually assaulting her, she is not performing her “wifely duties”.
