Cuckolding: A Phenomenon of Sexual Evolution

Thus, he treats her like a child and “laughs at [her]… ” and calls her a “‘...little girl’” (Gilman 90, 94). For these two female characters in “A Rose for Emily” and “The Yellow Wallpaper”, their struggles are a direct result of male dominance, and their coping mechanism escorts them away from the world that devalues them.

Nonetheless, the disclosure that surrounds the rape of the woman does not break away from the customary views on violence especially towards women. In the entire movie, women are depicted and viewed as extremely traditional and passive. They are supposed to follow whatever is required from them. Gender through the movie exists in the similar way through which race exists.

She wants the audience to feel as innocent as she did in the beginning, as shameful and disgusted in the middle, and as nostalgic in the end of her article. In the beginning, she creates the image of what she looks like, “… [b]ell bottom jeans and blue peasant blouses and striped knit shirts that clung to my breasts, ” (Wilkinson). By doing so, readers can vividly imagine what she looks like and feel more attached and involved in the story she is creating. In the middle she takes us through all the times she was sexually abused and by using imagery, she makes the reader feel as beaten down and scared as she was. For example, she creates an image of the church where her first sexual assault occurred, “At the entrance to the church was a small vestibule with two white doors. Behind the doors was a dangling rope attached to the church bell,” (Wilkinson). She goes on to build the tension with her words like “groped,” “accident,” “hiding,” and “secret,” (Wilkinson). These make the reader more and more uncomfortable as she describes her experiences, which was the point, to make the reader feel some semblance of what she did. In the end, she describes her older and present self, looking through old pictures: “ Sometimes in old photographs, I see glimpses of that young woman. Corners of my mouth turned down. Staring into the camera with empty eyes where joy should

When considering Mulvey’s theory of the “male gaze” and patriarchal domination, this film clearly demonstrates this notion. While the film opens with the main protagonist, Nola Darling, defending her actions to what seems to be a documentary camera crew. As the film progresses, the male counterparts are afforded more instances of “gaze” than Nola Darling is. Viewers are often subjected to watching the men watch Nola. When the audience does watch Nola’s “gaze” it is when she is discussing things with the camera crew. In a reading of the film, viewers are looking through male subjects “gaze” more often than that of Nola, proving Mulvey’s theory in this

Feminism has been around for centuries. Victim feminism leads to negative perceptions and the alienation of women. Women seem powerless and almost to the point of rejecting any power they do have. It portrays women as “just that”, a woman. There to do the woman's job, and only that. By examining the poem “Cinnamon Peeler” by Michael Ondaatje, the reader gets a feel of victimized women and the inequality of women in a male dominated society. The Cinnamon Peeler himself is portrayed as a wealthy and prosperous man. Cinnamon is an exotic eastern spice, so this symbolizes social and economic status. He is portraying himself on a higher status than women.

For an erotic dancer appears naked amongst the men, peering through “an abstract mask, the eyes hollow,” allowing her to smile at the class and also be in distress behind it. The men who control the money, control her, which degrades the symbolic image of a woman because men both desire her body, yet desire to “spit upon her” as a result of her being an erotic dancer. Both white and black men can’t touch her innocence, but white men still have the opportunity to achieve her through social norms. Black men and minorities are only left to gaze, but not touch her, for “some threatened us if we looked, and others if we did not,” making minorities live in a paradox. This paradox of social views essentially leaves minorities “stripped” down like the woman in the Battle Royale. Yet throughout it all, the “nakedness” of the women shows an American flag tattooed on her stomach to remark at the social irony of the era. For it is apparent she believes in the true freedom of America, yet her, a white woman, and the minorities are being controlled by white men for pure enjoyment and to continue to “strip” away their

When a counselor has a validation issue they should seek there supervisor advice. When intimate questions are discussed with inexperience persons it drives your interest. When a man give a woman compliment at each gathering she feels special and want to hear more and do more. So as a counselor to client getting involve with intimate sexual conversation must be a limit to discussing. The discussion should be in a written form when the counselor feels their hormone is becoming elevated. The client may feel the same; the counselor is in control of the session leave the room as they write. Once the counselor return to the session and regrouped, redirect the client with healthy talk not sexual talk. The counselor once boundaries and limits are set encourages the client to write a personal dairy of their personal intimacy thoughts to share with their love one in the future.

While at first glance level this scene talks about being female and womanly to stand out enough to be noticed, it additionally conveys to light much more profound convictions about the part of men and ladies in a relationship. Rather than simply proposing that ladies should be girly and highlight their female traits it additionally recommends that ladies should be subservient to men. They have to talk discreetly, giggle at his jokes and know their place in the public arena on the off chance that they are to get a

It tells the story from the perspective of a young girl, who continuously gets scolded by her mother for going against social norms by writing. She continues to write despite the rebuke she receives from her mother because she hears the voices of the women who lived before her pleading her to continue writing. The girl explains that while most of her female family members experienced rape, they did not feel shame instead “They were singing, searching for meaning in the dust. And sometimes, they were talking to faces across the ages, faces like yours and mine.” (page 194). The reason these women did not feel shame was because they understood that while this act was horrible they needed to continue on with life in order to establish hope for the future generations that come after them. The reader gets to understand that life is cruel, but it is sometimes for the better. It also addresses this at the end of the epilogue when the girl’s mother has finished braiding her hair “..ask you to name each braid after those nine hundred and ninety-nine women who were boiling in your blood, and since you had written them down and memorized them, the name would come rolling off your tongue. And this was your testament to the way that these women lived and died and lived again.” (page 196) This shows the ultimate reward the people

In a psychotherapist’s office, there are a multitude of occurrences that may prompt possible boundary crossings and violations - some that may impact the therapeutic alliance or some that may enhance the relationship. Therefore, a psychotherapist must weigh the possible risks and benefits when coming across such instances that may engender a boundary crossing, a boundary violation, or a formation of a dual relationship. Although, not all boundary crossings or dual relationships are considered unethical, psychotherapists should still be weary of trespassing such ambiguous territory, especially when the trespassing can lead to exploitation of a client or impairment on the psychotherapist’s professional judgment (Jensen, 2005). Thus, an analysis of decision-making is warranted in Lying on the Couch (Yalom, 1997), where psychotherapists, Dr. Marshal Streider and Dr. Ernest Lash, facilitate a myriad of dual relationships and boundary crossings via self-disclosure, without taking into consideration the implications this may have on the client.

While it would be very easy to focus on the constant assault of the sexuality of both the men and women that are represented in this story, I feel that sexuality is only a minor theme. The provocativeness that the story contains is used more to draw people to either listen or view the story itself than present a major theme in sexuality. The major issue that he is trying to bring forward is that of conflict and how it occurs in more than just war. Let's look at the three major conflicts within this story.
