August 7, 2011 JUS 110- Crime and Criminology Critical Feminist Theory VS Grauwiler and Mills A critical feminist views gender inequality as stemming from unequal power of men and women in a capitalist society, which leads to the exploitation of women by fathers and husbands. Under this system women are considered a commodity worth possessing like land or money. (Siegel 2010) In knowing this view we know that men feel that they have power over women since they are generally stronger they take advantage of this and try to control the women in their lives. Many times the control that they have over women is abusive. It is a known cultural difference that men usually dominate the world.

Newton is to educate on the issue of discrimination in the work place and political affairs. Newton believes that discrimination is unjust and that all those affected by it can suffer greatly. She also believes that if there is too much awareness for discrimination and that it can lead to the issue of reverse discrimination. Reverse discrimination is when the awareness for discrimination becomes too high, then the group being discriminated against receive almost a form of special treatment where they start to get more rights than the initial discriminators who are now receiving the discrimination. This creates a form of irony and chaos, where the government and or the community are not sure what to do when it comes to how to treat those of different gender and race in the work place.
Sexual Harassment Paul Cole HSCO 504 April 27, 2010 Sexual Harassment Introduction Sexual Harassment affects people of all ages, races, and of both sexes, according to Berry S. Roberts and Richard A. Mann, (2008) giving some insight on the issue of sexual harassment in today’s workplace, sexual harassment has not been taken seriously as it should, despite the wide spread publicity about perils of sexual harassment, it is shown that many businesses in the United States have not properly addressed the problems. Recent news indicated that sexual harassment has hit its highest level of management, even thou businesses are aware of that sexual harassment exists, they are not sure what to do about the situation, this has resulted into fear of employer liability for
People typically respond to workplace discrimination and racial harassment with anger, rage, hostility, resentment, bitterness and aggression. Some displace their feelings of frustration onto others through abuse of their spouse or children.

Feelings resulting from psychological and emotional abuse in the workplace include confusion, depression, feelings of helplessness,
Próspero brings up previous theories that suggest masculinity could be learned by other genders, including women and even LGBT populations, especially if these traits were valued in that society (such as excessive aggressiveness)(2008, 640-641). In his study, he found the gender of the perpetrator had effects on the type of intimate partner violence (644). Erbaugh makes another crucial observation when she remarks, “Isolation is a central tactic of abuse.” (453). The abusers take away the victim’s support network, encouraging co-dependence and leaving them nowhere to turn, socially, physically, economically. Not only is this abuser their familiarity, but they will be forced to give that up frequently for nothing familiar.
Many writers argues that stereotypes causes many trouble to people's lives in kinds of aspects and bring them a lot of troubles. Cofer points out that media use the image of Latina women lead people to misunderstanding them. She describes the terrible experiences that the boss of Puerto Rican women proposed the unfair condition to decide their future of jobs in the factories and men would often misinterpret their tight skirts and jingling bracelets as a lure. In the same way, Gup provides the example that people believe the stereotypes and these stereotypes also place a crushing burden on Asian-Americans. Gup argues the stereotype makes people feel uncomfortable because that his teacher think he could and should do better just because he is a Jew.
However, the reality is that the result of some hate crimes does affect the victims in a monetary way. Of the 7,164 reported hate crimes 41.8 percent were against property (fbi.gov, 2013). Acts carried out were cross burnings, defacement of property, and destruction of property that have cost the victims a great deal of money to repair. There are cases when the damage or intimidation has caused the victims to relocate or purchase fire arms to protect themselves (Barnes & Ephross, 1994), which is another expense directly contributed to the crime. Not only does the person(s) under attack financially suffer, but the city and community loose too.
This can cause misunderstandings in a workplace and men may take this up as an invitation. The culture of the army is based on constant physical violence and mental cruelty of their enemies; this is probably where sexism evolved from as women are perceived as the weaker gender. It may be due to this that the environment in the army, women are exposed to discrimination by colleagues who are told to ‘suck it up’ when they are threatened by sexual violence. In conclusion, gender in a society is significant in the construction of it. Gender
