S/he is generally in a position to reward and/or punish the victim, based on whether or not the offensive behavior is tolerated or granted. This is especially true in a quid pro quo situation. Quid pro quo, in terms of sexual harassment, takes place whenan individual receives a benefit, or avoids punishment, in exchange for submitting to inappropriate behavior of a sexual nature (Stier, 2005). Some actions that constitute sexual harassment are: sexist remarks about a person's clothing, body, or sexual activities; unnecessary touching, patting, pinching, or cornering; visual harassment (i.e., leering at or ogling an individual's body); displaying signs, posters and photos of an objectionable nature; demanding
According to Bordo’s claims made in the essay, a man’s worth and pride are challenged with accusations that “real” men do not choose clothing that will enhance their appearance, do not look in a mirror, nor are they even supposed to know what a mirror looks like because each of these things would – stereotypically, of course – immediately turn a man gay. In addition to these ideas, homophobia is more complexly present in this new taboo, as the text suggests that to be so dependent on the gaze of another person for one’s sense of self worth is incompatible and contradictory to being a real man (Bordo 134) . However, she provides the reader with a quick rebuttal in their defense, stating that maybe heterosexual men would feel more
The Puritans and Sex The Puritans and Sex provides an insight on the misunderstood life of the Puritans and their lust for sex. Written by Edmund S. Morgan, the article goes in-depth on how the Puritans could not contain their sexual desires and the ways they tried to stop themselves from divulging deeper into the sinfulness pleasures they were taking part in. The Puritans and Sex gives an interesting account on an unknown side of the Puritans, the article was a good selection based on the new information provided about a group largely regarded as to being the opposite of fun. The Puritans did abstain from many normal pleasures but something they could not hold back is their desire for sex. This caused the Puritans to encourage sex as long as it was between a man and his wife and that it does not interfere with religion.
Popular magazines tell the truth about sex. Do you agree? Would Foucault agree? Discuss in relations to representation of sexuality in popular magazines and so-called ‘natural’ distinctions between men and women. According to (Williamson 1978), “people are made to identify themselves with what they consume”.
I will be discussing the arguments of two a Philosopher who wrote in the midst of the sexual liberation. Thomas Nagel has closely related arguments with some points of agreement and some in contention. Thomas Nagel establishes the “sex as communication” metaphor when he presents his own argument for what constitutes sexual perversion. Before he makes his case he offers what he calls the “skeptical argument”. This argument contends that sex is an appetite like any other, with a number of ways of being sated.
She uses Michael Jordan as an example of his masculinity in sports and femininity in dressing style. We do not generally poke fun at Jordan because he already has gained that respect from the public. To this point, Bordo draws an implication that men are afraid to dress well because they do not want to be judged by everyone else as a metrosexual and be stereotyped as a homosexual. Most try to stay inside the norms which expectations have created for us (in a way taking out uniqueness) and dare not to venture out. Bordo and I would both agree that as long as a man is secure with his own sexuality he will not have a problem dressing the way he would like
As long as that is understood it should not be a problem for each other. And personaly I think you two can talk to whoever you want about whatever, and then you can deal with it if it becomes a problem. But it sounds like the first option is the better one. I see a relationship of two people who are very similar, both with difficult pasts and upon living in close quarters have trouble understanding each others needs. You hold it together with sex, and use anger in arguements to try to force the other person to understand, rather then calmly explain so that they can understand.
According to the dictionary, sexual harassment is the making of unwanted and offensive sexual advances or of sexually offensive remarks or acts, especially by one in a superior or supervisory position or when acquiescence to such behavior is a condition of continued employment, promotion, or satisfactory evaluation, however the real-world definition is a bit more nuanced than that. Sexual harassment can have more to do with the intentions, instead of the actions. A seemingly harmless act such as sitting close to someone and asking personal questions may not be sexual in and of itself, if that person's intentions are ultimately sexual in nature that changes things. Besides human rights interests, there are also cost factors involved in keeping
This proves that torture is effective in getting information from terrorists. Alter then argues the idea of torture about how America fells about it. He says, “We can’t legalize physical torture; it’s contrary to American values … we need to keep an open mind about certain measures to fight terrorism” (2). Porter on the other hand has a different idea about torture. He states, “Torture is an absolute evil and there can be no allowances, especially in a country which stands for liberty” (2).
This clip supports place in the same way that the mind and brain worked together simultaneously during the sexual in counter. If brain and mind were the exact same thing then the man would of have had no problem getting an erection. All that would have needed to happen was the turning
