Jane goes to a party and gets slightly intoxicated. At this party, the males are egging on the females to take their shirts off and are taking pictures. At some point Jane follows suit with the other girls, and regrets it. Later, Joe uploads a photo of Jane, and Jane then requests Joe to remove it. He, however, refuses to remove the photo. Joe does this to maintain his status in the current patriarchal society because of its expectations of Jane and Joe, and should not remove Jane’s or any other’s photo from his website. Jane removed her top for three reasons, the first is not as significant as the others. At the party Jane had a few drinks, and was under the influence of alcohol. This caused a judgment impairment, making her more susceptible …show more content…
By being at the party, encouraging and recording women as they reveal their bodies, Joe was showing the world that he is conforming to social gender norms. This gender norm can be simplified into the maintaining of male rule over women. Joe, like all males, have subtly been told this indirectly since birth. To maintain their power, males must continue the tradition of commanding women, making women submit sexually, having as many sexual partners as possible, and objectifying women whenever possible. Joe proves his conformity to the last two requirements by having a website full of pictures of naked women. All the pictures are his trophies of his sexual partners, even if there was no sexual interaction aside from what was portrayed in the photographs. As well, displaying many revealing pictures of women with no regard to their personhood, Joe treats them as objects. Following these norms, Joe does not want to remove Jane’s photo for a few reasons. First, because he will be losing a trophy of his sexual accomplishments. By losing a trophy he could lose some social ranking and not win direct comparison between men. The second reason is that if Joe listens to Jane request and goes through with it, he will become lower in status than the female. In a patriarchal society. this is a bad thing even if it is a minor task. Under the influence of society, Joe seems to …show more content…
In the current patriarchal society in which this occurs, the best decision for Joe regarding his social status is to ignore Jane’s request and keep her photo up on his website. If Joe would rather have some morals and be a nice person, he would complete Jane’s request and remove her photo. This may have consequences on Joe’s social status, but would most likely be insignificant to worry about in the long term. To maintain his social status and dominance over women he should not remove the pictures of the other women from his website. As well, he should continue his partying and photography. However, if Joe wanted to not simply follow social norms and have a more ethical mindset, he should stop hosting his website and quit taking photos of naked women. Of course, this would probably destroy his social status among those who know

1. Jane has lived a life of a low socio economic standard from her birth to the time of her domestic abuse from her husband. Unluckily, Jane fell in love with her husband that seemed like a charmer and a passionate lover prior to marriage, internally he was a psychotic control freak addicted to alcohol and various drugs. At the beginning of the relationship he was just the average husband, being supportive, loving and caring in most aspects in each other's lives.)
Throughout the book, Bogle places particular attention to gender differences. Supporting Bogle’s findings, there is still a double standard for men and women. Participation in the hookup scene is risky for women, while men have few, if any risks. Women who behave too “sexually” in the hookup culture have to recognize that there are repercussions. These repercussions include damaged reputations, being labeled, and being ostracized by peers. Women can get labeled, damage their reputations, or ostracized by having too many partners, hooking up with two guys that know each other well, dressing in a seductive manner, constantly hanging around a fraternity house, or drinking too much.
Jane Eyre was written in a time where the Bildungsroman was a common form of literature. The importance was that the mid-nineteenth century was, "the age in which women were, for the first time, ranked equally with men as writers within a major genre" (Sussman 1). In many of these novels, the themes were the same; the protagonist dealt with the same issues, "search for autonomy and selfhood in opposition to the social constraints placed upon the female, including the demand for marriage" (Sussman). Jane Eyre fits this mould perfectly. Throughout the novel, the reader follows Jane Eyre on a journey of development from adolescence to maturity to show that a desire for freedom and change motivates people to search for their own identity.
Bronte uses doppelgangers to represent two similar characters who went down different paths to demonstrate how the main characters Jane and Rochester would of been if they took the alternative in order to emphasize the effects of patriarchy. While Bertha is trapped in the Attic, Mr. Rochester figuratively traps Jane as she feels that “[t]hen my sole relief was to walk along the corridor of the third storey, backwards and forwards, safe in the silence and solitude of the spot” (206). Bronte’s use of alliteration emphasizes Jane’s feeling of isolation as she feels “safe”, “silence”, “solitude” at her “spot”, similar to Bertha. Jane only has the agency to leave after she starts to become more independent as she refuses to be viewed as an object by Rochester by denying his gifts whereas Bertha has no agency as she is physically locked up.
An hour or so later, back at the hotel, the students laughed, joked, played with their phones and took a variety of unadulterated pictures. Before the night was over, sixteen-year-old Jane Easygoing willingly engaged in a sexual act with each of her male friends and Mr. Happy who supposedly just happened to be in the neighborhood. Initially,
America has become a society that more or less runs online. The Internet is where we do our shopping, our reading, where we interact with others, both socially and romantically, and where the average American spends a large amount of time. In 2013, it was reported that the average American adult would spend three hours a day on social media and networking sites talking to others and playing games (Staff, 2013). These sites know everything about us, our birthday, age, gender, political standing, what music we like, what stores we shop at. In this type of digital environment, nothing that is private remains so for long, especially for prominent figures, like celebrities, movie stars, and political figures. Congressman Anthony Weiner found this out not too long ago when one of his private messages was broadcast publicly via Twitter, creating a snowball effect that all but ended his Congressional career. We as a society like nothing better than a little bit of political scandal.
The text I have chosen to speak on is in a movie called G.I Jane. This movie came out in 1997 and this movie talks about a chairperson of the military budget committee forces the Navy secretary to start a gender integration to allow or give opportunity to women to train for the U.S Navy elite and a woman named Lt. Jordan O’Neill is given the opportunity to try out for this elite team but no one expects her to pass, through the training which has 60% drop out rate for men, but despite all this she is determined to prove everyone wrong.

John Reed controls Jane, Mr. Brocklehurst humiliates Jane, and Mr. Rochester sees women, in general, as objects. The author manages to depict patriarchal dominance through the characterization of John Reed, Mr. Brocklehurst, and Mr. Rochester.
| Cooing can begin as early as 6 weeks of age. During this time the infant child begins to explore and play with sounds by using the tongue, mouth and breath. During this time, the child is likely to form vowel like sounds before constants sounds begin to be established.
Charlotte Brontë wrote Jane Eyre in 1847 during Britain’s Victorian era, a time when the societal culture was patriarchal, meaning men were considered to be superior to women in all parts of life. In general society was guided by etiquette and considered prudish, hypocritical, single minded, and arrogant. The culture of this era was defined predominantly by two main characteristics. First by the rigid caste structure, which prevented most from advancing beyond the station held by their families. Second, the extreme polarization of gender roles, especially in the upper classes. Men were expected to be honorable, enterprising, intelligent, loyal, and morally strong. However, women were expected to be chaste and in the constant company of a chaperone
Charlotte Bronte’s novel Jane Eyre embraces many feminist views in opposition to the Victorian feminine ideal. Charlotte Bronte herself was among the first feminist writers of her time, and wrote this book in order to send the message of feminism to a Victorian-Age Society in which women were looked upon as inferior and repressed by the society in which they lived. This novel embodies the ideology of equality between a man and woman in marriage, as well as in society at large. As a feminist writer, Charlotte Bronte created this novel to support and spread the idea of an independent woman who works for herself, thinks for herself, and acts of her own accord.
The nineteenth century Victorian era woman needed wealth or position to avoid a life of drudgery. Women were viewed as trophies or possessions men owned. They were not permitted to develop nor expected to, and even venturing out on their own was considered inappropriate. During the era in which Jane Eyre was published the home and family were seen as the basic unit of stability in society. At the middle of this foundation stood a wife and mother representing the sum total of all morality - a Madonna-like image. This image was reinforced by social institutions such as mainstream religious and political beliefs. Women were steered away from independence, confidence, and
The last decade or so has been difficult for Muslims in many countries, but are still suffering the most in their own countries due to bad governance, low literacy rates, and poverty. If many non-Muslims are anxiety stricken by the savage actions of some bloodthirsty fanatic Muslims, it is helpful to remember the victims are overwhelmingly Muslims. However, some politicians have found the blanket accusation of all Muslims beneficial for their hate mongering. It has now become too common for fascists to hide behind the terrorist curtain and show their naked bigotry. Worse, bigoted elements who hail from religiously diverse countries, have found it serving to their bigotry to insult all Muslims. And it will be good if Western politicians
