Serial killers are rarely thought of as women. Perhaps this fallacy is based on the stereotype of women being delicate and sympathetic. For these barbarous killers, often the pretense of nurturing minimized any and all suspicions, but these women are just as immoral as their male counterparts. Patriarchal society is, by definition, male-centered, male-identified, and male-dominated (Johnson 24). Within the notion of male domination is the approval of male violence to implement male domination (Hooks 48).
Ingraham felt this broken system had been pushing women onto the street and into prostitution. The paper tried to place moral pressure on men, urging them to stay away from prostitutes and refrain from seeking their services. The American Female Moral Reform Society also ran "safe houses" for women who had just moved to New York. These safe houses offered shelter and training for "respectable" employment to women who had just moved to New York. The group was also involved in influencing the New York legislature to pass statutory rape laws.
Women have always been thought of as the weaker sex and Sociologists such as Heidensohn argue that men see the need to protect women. Police are more likely to caution a woman for shop lifting than they are a man. Flood-Page et al found that one in eleven female offenders had been cautioned and prosecuted in comparison to one in seven males. Women are also less likely to be prosecuted for an offence and found guilty of offences by juries. This is because women (especially when they have children) are seen first and foremost in the expressive role (mothering and caring).
When a man is referred to as a ‘slut” it doesn’t associate to the actual definition used by society. But when a woman is called a “slut” it automatically associates her with a prostitute and she is then frowned upon by society. (Evalee) There seems to be a double standard when it comes to these male to female connotations .One in six women and one in thirty three men have been sexually assaulted in their lifetime. In our modern society women have been degraded to being pieces of meat or just a pair of sexy legs. (Evalee) Although women have come along way since their efforts in aiding the war, today women around the world still face prejudice, underestimation and gender discrimination only because they are women.
Obviously, his behaviour of “sexually charged looks and gestures” and “unnecessary touching” such as hugging is a sexual harassment action to women if the women were not willing to. And first, we should confirm this issue that Haddad really had done those things to female staffs and his actions corresponded to the reports from at least 10 women. Sexual harassment cases are hard to confirm because it rarely has witnesses, so a proper investigation should take place to the authenticity of Haddad’s behaviour, If it corresponds to the reports that he allegedly sexually harassed to the female staffs, he have to be terminated. And there are three “progressive discipline policy” that written warnings, suspensions, and determination, the reason I think he should be terminated , not written warnings or suspensions is that he has high level position in the company he number of victims is more than ten, it is a sexual harassment case that by senior management personnel to numbers of female staffs. If he does not be fired, and his behaviour would go beyond the scope of the company’s definition of sexual harassment, then many female staffs would be “legally” harassed.
Human trafficking in the form of forced prostitution and labor has existed in Iraq long before the Iraqi war (Heartland Alliance, 2007). Victims of trafficking since the 2003 invasion and civil war have seen an increase in women who are transported to neighboring countries. As well, those women who come to Iraq from the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh and other countries where poverty is widespread are at risk of trafficking. Iraq has laws against trafficking; however, the internal conflict has caused the breakdown of such laws. The Iraqi constitution forbids forced labor, kidnapping, slavery and slave trade, trafficking of women and children, and the sex trade of either.
Femi-Nazi Rant In the article “Unnatural Born Killer,” Katha Pollitt makes the argument that society doesn't take murder, violence and crimes against women seriously. She goes on to state that “we barely notice it” and are surprised or shocked when it happens. Pollitt theorizes that if there was more gun control there would be less gun violence. She also points out, correctly, that our mental health system is inadequate and, largely, underfunded. While she points out data and statistics to support her opinion, the factual information used to validate her ideas is flawed.
Lastly at work they are controlled by their bosses, and if their bosses are men this could lead to sexual/ verbal harassment and decrease their chance of promotion opportunities. These explanation may explain the low crime rate from women to some extent however through recent years the rate of women’s crime has increased which may show the social control over women is breaking down. Denscombes research shows that young women are taking on the role of delinquency due to becoming more confident which outlines that there may be a change throughout society if this continues to rise. Lombroso and Ferrero alleged that the diverse crimes committed by men and women are a result of their physical difference. This methodology has been used by different writers
Gender and Family cjs/240 June 15,2014 Gender and Family When women committed crimes they were usually or thought to be crimes that were associated with sex such as prostitution, running away (which led to sexual mishaps), and crimes of passion which led to the killing of a husband or a boyfriend. It was thought that women barely disregarded the law. It was proposed that females who violated the law were thought to have biological and psychological trait equivalent to those of men this is referred to as the masculinity hypothesis(chap.6 p.136). Although female delinquency is still lower than male delinquency it is expanding at a quicker rate then males. However women are also committing similar crimes as males.
Sex workers sometimes end up pregnant and they have a hard time finding out the father of their children truly is. It is very important to wear a condom during sexual activities. The sexual contact between prostitutes and married men is one of the leading causes of the spread of AIDS into the general population. Even though the prostitutes can catch sexually transmitted diseases, there should be a program to give prostitutes special care to treat them and help them prevent getting any diseases (Robert). Legalizing prostitution could significantly reduce the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such as Aids (Hart).
