Curley’s wife is portrayed as being a whore – but this is only due to the way she dresses, her provocative ways and the way she acts around men, as if she is aware of her femininity. This could suggest that she is only like this because she is bored, like it is something to do – something interesting for a change. She is constantly trying to get people to notice her. But, because of Lennie’s purity and innocence, he doesn’t see her in the way other men do – a sexual object. When Steinbeck quotes “And because she had confided in him, she moved closer to Lennie and sat beside him”, it is clear to the audience that Curley’s Wife is using her sexuality as an object to create some sort of excitement for herself.
As a member of the American Female Moral Reform Society, Sarah Ingraham was dedicated to eliminate all prostitution in the United States. However, she did not only criticize women for being prostitutes, but felt men were equally at fault. She was the editor of The Advocate of Moral Reform, the first American newsletter which was run entirely by women. The paper often printed stories about girls who were seduced by men who later left them. The paper referred to prostitutes as sisters and Men were usually depicted as the wrongdoers.
Many prostitutes are taking advantage of, they are beaten by these men and many have even lost their lives. A pro legalizing prostitution Heidi Fleiss states that "nothing would happen to the client because he knows he won't be prosecuted for refusing to pay for sex". By legalizing prostitution "it would clean up a lot of crime and help protect women." "It would also reduce gender violence, allow women to escape prostitution" (Liberator). This would prevent guys from beating up prostitute and getting away with it.
Harper Amaty Pitt starts off as Joe’s valium-addicted, sociopathic wife. A deranged sociopath that is sex-deprived and out of touch with the external world and reality in general, she recoils into her mental delusions and drug abuse. With the assistance of some of her companions and mother-in-law, she manages to liberate herself from her plummeting matrimony. Her desperation to be noticed and have emboldening contact with other human beings and conversation leads her to seek an affiliation just slightly better than what her marriage offers her. This is why she turns to
The Colony’s view on single women influenced greatly the way women were treated within the colony. The colonists saw them as a threat because they were vulnerable without a husband or father for protection and were seen as unproductive in their work compared to men (Grimshaw, p. 87, Rushen p. 52, 54). They were blamed for prostitution and sexual immorality within the colony. The colony rather than holding out a hand of care for these new immigrant women pointed
With the internet we have websites that allow us to see if sex offenders live near us it will give you there exact address. Even if you don’t care about what people think of you I’m sure nobody would like this. So in this case they will be shamed for the rest of their lives because of the laws we have set-up.

However, there’s a few things wrong with the government’s approach. According to Louise Gerdes a published author with multiple articles in Opposing Viewpoints, there are many cases where "… sex work is often the only viable alternative for women in communities coping with poverty, unemployment … in… complete absence of social welfare programs" (Gerdes 1). If the government wants to eliminate human trafficking especially within the sex industry, then it must focus on those people as well and realize that different approaches must be used for each, “instead [of] lumping together trafficking, prostitution and commercial sex as offenses against the "moral law that stands above nations." (Gerdes 1). As stated by Thomas Melito the director of the International Affairs and Trade, the government uses estimates for data reports on a yearly scale.
Valenti explains in her book that this is not the case. The purity myth is something that affects every woman at many times throughout their life. The way that people judge and see women, usually lies within their choice of whether or not to have sex. Women aren’t sexy unless they are “pure.” Virginity is not something that is defined in the medical books; it has been defined by the people who choose to use it against

Even within the criminal population, sex offenders are treated as the worst type of
