Sexual Assault, Sexual, And Sexual Aggression

University of Tennessee Knoxville was recently involved in a lawsuit for enabling athletes to sexually assault women by silencing the victims and failing to provide disciplinary actions or even investigation onto the accused. While this is a recent case, this is not the first time this sort of behavior involving a school has been brought into light. One in four women will be sexually assaulted by the end of their undergraduate career (Posluszny). Sexual assault happens throughout society no matter what the gender or age, seeming to be in increasing epidemic over the last few years. While the idea of sexual assault is largely met with public hostility in theory, actions often contradict this. This contradiction lies heavily in a culture that is unwelcoming to the victims and often leads to the perpetrators being tolerated. The existence of rape culture in western society occurs due to the preservation of violent media, patriarchal standards, and the state of the criminal justice system. This culture cannot be improved until we confront each of these problems to their roots.

A few stories from her book consist of young females, as young as fourteen, and their treacherous journey through adolescence with the title of “slut” weighing on their shoulders, when in reality it may not have been true or consensual sexual relations. Continued in her book, there are cases where women are asked about their sexual relationships and gynecology records when filing a lawsuit against people or companies for sexual harassment from males and payment inequality. When men were surveyed, 92% said that the double standards, that they themselves live up to, are unfair, but 65% said that if a woman they liked had slept with ten to twenty men the previous year, that they would not take them

Officer arrived at her residence and she related Marshall BURPA was touching her 9 year old daughter.

The theory being tested in the article is that women participate in slut shaming as a way for them to distance or separate themselves from other women. The reason they separate themselves is a way for women to categorize other women into different statuses and a way for themselves to maintain their own status. The status classes women are categorized in are linked to the social class they are a part of. Slut shaming among women is not necessarily based on their sexual acts, but of the way they act as a woman. The theory also states that slut shaming is also a result of male dominance and female submission. The slut label was created by men due to a double standard created by society. The double standard is that men are expected to act upon their sexual desires regardless of being in a relationship or having any emotional connection with the person they’re engaging that sexual act with all while women are only allowed to participate in sexual activities if they are in a loving and committed relationship. However, if

The slut walk is for people like the Kardashian who uses what sex workers do to demean them and make them feel less of a woman to feel better about themselves. Despite knowing how or why she had to begin stripping at fifteen, the sisters used it

Sexual assault has been huge problem on college campus. College female students have been targets of sexual assault acts, According to Robin Gray “Between 20% and 25% of women will experience a completed and/or attempted rape during their college career.” Sexual assault is when is a crime to knowingly cause another person to engage in an unwanted sexual act by force or threat. There are laws that protect women in all types of setting from being victims of sexual assault. The government had made some changes to the laws of sexual assault over the past decade to protect the girls and women so justice can be served. The president Obama has been enforcing a law for the young women in colleges.

Throngs of activists, the bulk of them female, will parade down the streets of Downtown Los Angeles next week. Scantly clad women will conceal their faces with cardboard cut outs inscribed with words like “slut” or “whore”. The signs that they hold up in protest will read “still not asking for it.” It’s called SlutWalk.

Amber Rose is definitely an example of such, being targeted herself with the judgements and hurtful comments of those who thought they knew her better than herself, she used her voice to empower other women. There is an assumption about women who dress similar to her, there are stereotypes that make them out to be ‘sluts’ or ‘easy’; but no one wants to take the time to see these as derogatory comments or how they contribute to victim blaming. Amber sees this in a way where she was willing to make a change by holding her own SlutWalk and addressing those comments in a way that others could gather together and fight back. Finding a way to make women feel empowered together rather than tearing them down is crucial in a society where victimizing is

Presently an ongoing turmoil between women is the insulting and shaming of one another’s sexual tendencies which have been inflicted upon society by the misogynist double standards imposed by men. In doing so, women are belittled in their slut shaming and are therefore degraded and neglected in their social life. Collectively Elizabeth A. Armstrong; Laura T. Hamilton; Elizabeth M. Armstrong; and J. Lotus Seeley composed an article, ‘ ' 'Good Girls ' ': Gender, Social Class, and Slut Discourse on Campus’ in 2014 for Social Psychology Quarterly (p. 100-122), utilizing observations on social psychology, gender, and culture to argue that undergraduate females exploit shaming to construct social barriers around status groups—along with overseeing sexual behavior and social relations among females. Within the study, the primary focus is what determines the right of the discrimination between supposed good girls and the promiscuous alongside how it functions in the select college females within a university dorm hall. Attention is also drawn to the fact that men are encouraged to have sexual activity in general whereas women are restricted to minor contact within relationships or face the detrimental judgement of society.

This essay explores the ongoing issue of sexual assault and sexual violence on college campuses across the United States. Education on the topic of sexuality and sexual assault throughout secondary and post secondary education is vital to the awareness of, and battle against sexual assault. Issues in sex-education, included lack of depth into healthy sexuality, and abstinence only sex education. Women are not reporting their cases to the authorities or universities because of issues with privacy, shame and guilt. Universities are not providing reliable support to victims, which creates wide spread apprehension to report cases of sexual assault. Pop culture and media promote a skewed image of sexualized women, creating a cultural expectation for women to please and be subservient, promoting sexual violence against women across the country.

Since the 1970s law reform surrounding the issue of sexual assault has become more prevalent and extensive enabling law reform commissions and other governmental bodies to act as an effective force in achieving justice for the victims and society.

Sexual assault is a board term that is a wide-range of sexual victimization, including rape. Sexual assault deals with being forced into any sexual acts that the person disagrees upon. Sexual assault will occur when the abuser makes sexual passes or without penetration. The action maybe physical force or psychological intimidation. The touching of a person’s sexual or intimate parts are sexual advances. Children who are in the middle stage of their child hood are developing the skill of self-evaluation that is aging around six to twelve years of age. Their prime adaptive ego quality will be competence. A sexual assaulted adolescent at this point of their lives will detach themselves from society (Winograd, 2010).

As a teenage girl who enjoys wearing skirts above the knee, dares to wear high heels, and find myself partial to friends of the opposite sex, it is not uncommon for me to find myself haunted by the stereotypes of society. The word slut is thrown around so casually that definitions range from “a promiscuous woman” to “a woman with the morals of a man” (Sally; “Slut”). Such definitions are often misinterpreted and morphed to fit different people. I find that my creepy uncle would deem a slut “a dirty woman with no standards.” Despite the diversity in the definitions, I cannot proclaim a better and indisputable definition. In fact, it would be impossible for me to do so; my friends use it out of context and seemingly colloquially: “I'm a slut

“The word rape comes by the way of the Anglo-Norman raper from the Latin rapere, to seize by force. This definition with its emphasis on force is strikingly similar to our understanding today. Legally, the definition of rape varies by state and nation. The National Crime Victimization Survey, the most reliable source of data on this highly unreported crime, defines rape as forced sexual intercourse means vagina, anal or oral penetration by the offender(s)…Includes attempted rapes, male as well as female victims and both heterosexual and homosexual rape. Attempted rape includes threats of rape”. The common factor for sexual violence around the world is that which is committed by a close partner, which leads to the assumption that one of the most significant causes for people in terms of their vulnerability to sexual assault is being married or living together with a partner. There is other factors that influence the threat of sexual violence like being a female, being someone young, being a sex worker, having substance abuse issues, previous history of being raped or sexually abused, having multiple sex partners, being educated and economically empowered (usually sexual violence happens with intimate partner), being considered physically attractive, incarceration, and having a mental disability. Other individuals such as college students are at high risk primarily because of the heavy drinking that is a characteristic of college life. Furthermore, the National Violence

“I mean did you see what Rachel wore to the party last night? Total slut.” “Don’t you worry about adding too many notches to your belt?” “How many people have you slept with really?” “You’re definitely getting into trashy territory Rachel.” Many times I have heard variations of these quotations being said throughout my life. The real trash is policing someone’s sexuality. Slut is a derogatory term used to degrade women’s sexuality. In this text I will outline the problems and the harm that slut shaming bestows on women and their sexuality. Slut shaming is detrimental to women’s psychological morale, her political standings, and her role and power in society and relationships. In order to better understand slut shaming, an explanation as to why it is a phenomenon in today’s society needs to be given. One of my biggest concerns is the fluid usage of the word slut or whore. This phenomenon of slut shaming is mostly seen with teenagers and young adults and thus this is the group I will be focusing on. Young women and men seem to define a “slut” differently. Women define a slut as 1. A woman who is sexually active, 2. A woman who wears a lot of makeup, 3. A woman who dresses suggestively, 4. A woman who, despite her unpopularity, tries to get the attention of boys, 5. A woman who is assumed to be sexually advanced because her body is more developed, 6. A woman who flirts with other girl’s boyfriends or has a lot of guy friends.
