Slut Shaming Research Paper

Smut is one of the first books I've read from Karina Halle and I must say, I was totally surprised with how much I loved it. Both the cover and synopsis intrigued me (because come on, classmates turned erotica co-authors? Where do I sign up?!) and after hearing many of my book gals raving about it, I decided to pick it up and it was the best thing I ever did! I couldn't put the book down and before I even realized it, I was finished in just a matter of hours.

The journal article addresses the issue of undergraduate women using slut shaming and the actual reason women participate in it.

We knocked on the door of the off-campus apartment, as it opened we were confronted with the heavy stench of alcohol. A young girl was passed out on the living room floor, a pile of empty beer cans filled the kitchen sink, and the deafening music rattled the window panes. A group of girls managed to stumble past us. They waved goodbye to the host, who was handing drinks to me and my sister. It was not my first time drinking. In fact, everyone there was quite experienced – after all, it’s college. Half of the guests were completely drunk, and I had no problem with it. That is, until later that night when my sister locked herself in a room with a guy she had met only a week before. This prompted me to seriously consider the effects of

The first question is, of course, as always, “What is slut shaming and rape culture?” The answer is not something you want to hear. Scarlett Peterson, of Kennesaw State University defines slut shaming as, “...the idea that a person who owns their sexuality and engages in sex for fun is something to be ashamed of…” (Peterson, 2015). But that’s not all. Slut shaming involves gossiping about women in promiscuous clothing, judging women on birth control or women who go for abortion, girls who lose their virginity young, or girls that wish to wait until marriage. So, who isn’t slut shamed?

A statistic connecting to this states that bully victims are between two to nine times more likely to consider suicide than non-victims, according to studies by Yale University. Phoebe’s tormenting became so bad that on January 14, 2010, she hung herself in her house’s stairwell. The people who had the evidence first would be her 12 year old sister who had come home from school separately, and unfortunately had to walk in the house to seeing her sister hanging dead. She was only 15. Her sister was scared when she just walked in. Although the Phoebe Prince case turned into a argument because, the “Mean Girls” said they did not do anything of the sort to Phoebe, which was really

In the article Good Girls'': Gender, Social Class, and Slut Discourse on Campus sociologists Elizabeth Armstrong and Laura Hamilton conducted a research at a Midwestern university in order to better understand the use of slut discourse between woman. Slut shaming is the act of criticizing a woman for her real or presumed sexual activity. It also includes criticizing her for behaving in ways that are associated with her real or presumed sexual activity. Slut shaming exists within a society because of the society sexual double standards. Traditionally men are encouraged by society to engage in sexual promiscuity but women are forbidden in engaging in sexual promiscuity. If a woman dares to engage in any behavior that could be interpreted as sexually promiscuous then she is branded as a slut or a whore.

This scenario it's really complicate and sad at the same time. She shares responsibility with the three fraternity boys for what happened to her, due to facilitation, precipitation, or provocation. Her actions of irresponsibility on drinking had consequences. She facilitated for them to rape her by drinking too much. However, if she was able to go upstairs to rest and sober up, which  means that she wasn't that drunk. She also contributed by going to the room alone instead of going to her place. I do not know think that she provoked.

Hau Thawj Tsswv Yeej Thawj talked to me about the position of being the head of the youth nation-wide, and I'm not going to lie girl, it is seriously a big step for me. I'm still lacking in so much areas within the religion and I honestly thought and hoped that since my term in being the Leej Niam is over, that I would finally be able to just sit down and learn again like a student. School was a big time struggle for me when I was I was given so many positions in PKYN in the last 3 years. Taking hold of this position right now honestly scares me even more.

The purpose of this study was to understand the college students’ perceptions of slut-shaming discourse. The research indicated that there was a strong correlation between cultural expectations and slut-shaming. According to the results, the perceptions of slut-shaming are influenced by aspects such as: class, culture, media, gender, feminism, ethnicity, religion, and sexuality. Overall, college students were found to be on crossfire of slut-shaming discourse on a college campus.

A slut is a woman with the morals of a man. Slut shaming is an age old practice that is done all over. And although we no longer obligate an adulterer to wear a identifier, we still do our fair share of slut shaming. Why do we still slut shame? Do we slut shame for the same reasons the puritans did? Despite the reasons for shaming changing with the times the outcomes and the purpose remain the same.

The setting of the scene takes place in a co-ed dorm room. This dorm room is divided into two sides, each consisting of a bed, dresser, and each of the characters’ personal belongings. The character I will be portraying is character B, Michael.Michael is a careless, 21-year-old, college student. Character A is Michael’s girlfriend Lisa. She is 20 years old and has a reputation of being clingy and overly suspicious toward Michael. Before the scene begins, Michael parties all night and sneaks back into the dorm room at 4 o’clock in the morning. Intoxicated by all of the alcohol, he goes straight to his bed and passes out. During the scene, Lisa wakes Michael up, though he doesn't want to. Then she proceeds to ask him questions and wanting to

It just makes it okay for guys to call you sluts and whores.” (McMillan, p. 91). This quote just shows that not is it a problem that mean are slut shaming but women are doing it to each other too. These words that people are using is what kill young teenageds. The tv series 13 Reasons Why was a great show to prove how much harm slut shaming can do to a person. This show went episode by episode showing all the cruel ways the main character was slut shamed and raped, thus leading up to her death. Jessica, the main character, was raped but said she deserved it for being drunk. The main character, Hannah, was raped and the response was that she wanted it and she was making eyes with him. He makes it seem like it couldn’t be rape because the slut wanted her. In no way should that be acceptable,however, people do blame the victim. I have also had an experience with slut-shaming in high school.

Being a teenager and spending a lot of time on social media and the internet, I have noticed that recently social standards between men and women are being brought up. Although women now are more independent and have more equal rights than the past, the way that society views and judges women is something that has not progressed. A few months ago, I saw a Tweet that talks about how girls who have sex numerously are seen as sluts, but guys are often praised or seen as cool for the same reason. After that, I noticed other posts on social media discussing slut-shaming. According to nobullying.com, slut-shaming is the act of making a girl or woman feel guilty about certain sexual behaviors that deviate from societal norms as well as women who wear

When the term gender gets brought up, double standards are very much strongly alive. Despite all of the advancements regarding gender equality, countless people still expect different things from females and males. Issues connected to gender are the double standard, rape culture, and slut shaming. Most people acknowledge the fact that females are criticized and judged much more brutally than males for participating in the exact behavior, especially when those behaviors are sex-related. Whether it is sex with multiple sexual partners or casual sex, this act is looked down upon when females engage in it. Males are applauded studs for doing this, but women are labeled sluts. Society as a whole, expect more from females because they are emotional beings that are victims to tougher perception. Meanwhile, the rape culture has been an issue that social media and the internet have taken to become part of our social vernacular. Rape culture happens when the act of rape is exercised often and is overlooked (Esguerra, 2017). There is also shut shaming that has become a socially constructed word used to describe a female that participates in behaviors outside of the “norm”.I stumbled across the viral Brock Turner case back when it first appeared on my Facebook news feed last year. This case is a modern day example of the term rape culture as we know it to me. It was something that is totally new to me, someone that should have gotten six years in prison, got released after three months

This quarter I had the opportunity to work in Dr. Greeson’s lab as one of her research assistants. Dr. Greeson studies community and social psychology primarily and her main focus of sexual assault is reflected in her studies and research. There are currently two directions of Dr.Greeson’s current research and both are at different places in the process of the research completion. One is that she works to evaluate the success of DePaul’s sexual assault prevention programs. This is evaluated through assessment surveys that are given to participants at the end of the workshops. Second is the research on the collaborative systems that are used to support survivors of sexual assaults (police officers, prosecutors, health care workers, and the rape victim advocates). These systems are called Sexual Assault Response Teams (SARTS). This study is a small part of the long-term study to investigate the effectiveness of each relation amongst the SARTS. Initially, she is studying the opinions and experiences that the rape victim advocates have had when cooperating with police officers which is what the current tasks are preparing for.
