Gender Inequality : Are All Men The Same?

David pulled the bedclothes up to his chin. The eerie moaning continued, unperturbed by this small defiance. It’s just the wind in the chimney, he told himself, over and over. It’s nothing to worry about.

You Could Have Done Something In May 1997, David Cash, a senior high school student, witnessed his best friend, Jeremy Strohmeyer, carrying a 7-year-old girl into a restroom of a casino arcade in Clark County, Nevada. Cash told the authorities that he left the scene and didn’t witness what happened to the girl. On the other hand, Cash’s best friend, Jeremy Strohmeyer, pleaded guilty “to the kidnapping, sexual assault and murder of Sherrice,” (Zamichow 1) the 7-year-old girl, before trial. Although Strohmeyer was sentenced to life in prison, Cash was not found guilty of any crime.

Kalish interviewed 19 young men of various backgrounds and experiences to ensure random selection as well as statistical variability. The results of the interviews show a trend of young men making the choice towards the causal sex aspect of hookup culture and set the standard based on peer approval. Kalish concludes that peer groups can stimulate sexual pressure and can overcome individual desire. This source is a great reference to use when describing the male attitudes towards casual sex and also contains a great counterargument of some young men who do not wish to have casual

The topic I chose was about the London Grenfell fire. Initial reports were that a refrigerator on the fourth floor may have exploded and caused the fire, however, after further investigation that turned out to be untrue. What contributed to the tragic deaths and unnecessary injures could have been prevented if the company wasn't trying to save money. In addition, the building had faulty alarms that residents who did survive could not hear and each apartment did not have a fire proof door which contains a fire in the apartment in which it starts. In my opinion, peoples safety should always come first, it shouldn't matter the cost. In the long run, it ends up costing much more once the love one is lost due to a

In this article, Natalie Angier, who has been in the writing career for a long time talks about the evolutionary psychology’s ideas about men, women, and sex. She first started of stating the similarities and differences between women and men styles to sexual behavior. Angier goes into more detail when explaining what each sex group wants specifically from their sexual partner. Throughout the article, Angier bring more topics and specific ideas of what men and women really expect

Men have been stereotyped as dominant, strong, brave and aggressive. Also there is an image of men being portrayed as harder workers than women and supposedly the more intelligent gender.

The stereotypes of men might be caused by how male’s brain reacts in different situations. Intro to quote“Once [men] are deeply engaged in a task or game, they may not demonstrate much sensitivity to other people or their surroundings” (SOURCE). By pinning this stereotype on men it alters people's view on them and how they think men are supposed to interact with other people. If a person’s view of men is obstructed by a stereotype then that results in

Women think that men can't do what they could do at the house or take care of the children as much as they can. The men think of the women like they can't go to work everyday and do what they do. Of course women can do what men do because a lot of them have and do what they do. The biggest stereotype that women get is that they can't play football or that they always get the chores, the house chores. The men always

“You throw like a girl.” “You run like a girl.” “You look like a girl.” It’s common sense that these phrases are not at all compliments but rather gender-based insults. Since when did the physical capacities of a young girl stacked up against a boy turn into an insult and a limitation? Is being a female individual something derogatory, something to be shameful about? Young girls are taught to be weak, fragile and soft-spoken while it’s openly accepted and even encouraged for boys to have hard opinions, to be strong and tough and exert power. They’re constantly put into a place of doubt by the media, parents and their social community.

What is even stranger is that women fully enforce this sexual double standard. Over 99% of woman agree that women enjoy sex as much as men do, yet when asked to describe a woman who has had many sexual partners, over 59% percent of women used words that fell under the negatively connotative ‘Promiscuous’ category, using words like “slut,” “cheap,” “loose,” “whore,” “easy,” and “dirty.” Twelve percent of women even used words that would suggest that sexually liberal woman are psychologically damaged, using words like “insecure,” “lonely,” “desperate,” “needy,” and ‘unfulfilled.” Only 8% of women tagged a sexually liberal woman in the more positive category of “sexually focused,” the respondents feeling that “these women were uncommitted and focused on sex rather than the relationship” (Milhausen and Herold). In addition, “Women were more likely to discourage a female friend from dating a highly experienced male that a male friend from dating a highly experienced female” (Milhausen and Herold). This fact furthers the case for women’s involvement in maintaining the double standard. In a one study researchers found that “Women will endorse a sexual double standard in which women are judged more

Since the beginnings of our nation’s it has been implied that all people should be viewed as equals but the question is, are all people seen as equal? Our founding fathers wrote that all men were all one of the same. Everyone is familiar with Thomas Jefferson's famous quote," We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” The passage claims that we are all equal but where is the proof that we are? It was stated in the Declaration of Rights of Man and of the Citizen, “Men are born free and remain free and of equal rights”. I do not believe that these statements apply to all of mankind. Throughout history many acts have proven otherwise. As we take a look throughout history we see

Human sexuality is a common phrase for all, and anything, pertaining to the feelings and behaviors of sex for the human race. Sexuality has been a topic that has been discussed and studied for as far back as 1000 years B.C. and is still being studied today. As the discussion of sexuality has progressed through history, theories have been created based on research and experiments that scholars have implemented, based on their own perceptions of human behavior. Out of the many theories that pose to explain sexual behavior, Sexuality Now explained ten that are seemed to be the most overlapped, and built off of theories. Of these theories, two that were discussed in the text were the behavioral and sociological theory. These two theories cover some of the basic ideas of what could possibly influence a person’s sexuality.

Since men don’t have to carry children for nine months they can produce more children with more women, they have “more interest in sexual activity”. The number of acceptable sexual partners for men is much higher than women, that social stigma is reflected in the evolutionary analysis. Men often look for women that are young and beautiful. This can be seen when a man dates a younger woman, which is seen

“In men, in general, sexual desire is inherent and spontaneous” whereas “in the other sex, the desire is dormant, if not non-existent, till excited” (457). Greg’s terminology is extremely power-laden. “Spontaneous” has the connotation of energy and activity, whereas “dormant” and “victim” imply inactivity. An important concept is the assumption that men, the “coarser sex,” act on women, the “weaker sex” (457).

Human sexuality is defined as the capability of individuals to experience their sexuality and be able to express themselves as sexual beings (Hyde & DeLameck, 2006). Our interest in this topic is because with time, there has been a change in rules that control human sexual behaviour. The status quo in our contemporary society is much different as compared to an earlier state of conditions, and the change has, as a result, brought the evolvement in human sexuality. People 's view on virginity has changed greatly with a decrease of importance in regards to its preservation. Sexuality is essential to the economic, cultural, social and political organization of society or country. Our sexuality plays a fundamental role in all our lives regardless of age, sex or race. It forms a basic part of our personality and the decisions we make in what we do. One’s sexuality also consumes much of their time through behaviour or thoughts; at times every aspect of our lives seems to revolve around our sexuality. Studying sexuality is very important since human sexuality majorly contributes to social as well as personal problems. A lingering question concerning this topic is to what extent is virginity determined by the status quo and the rules that control human behaviour?
