The authors also compare the "liberal" feminists to "critical feminists." Consider these differences and other theories presented in the text as you formulate your thoughts for this exercise. Compare what the liberal feminists assert versus what the critical feminists assert concerning each of these: gender roles, women 's rights, and female delinquency.
First, liberal feminism asserts that women are less likely to be delinquent than men, because of their social roles in society which gives them fewer opportunities in committing crimes. When women’s place in society change there will be similarities to that of men, and their crime patterns will also be alike. Female criminality is also motivated by the same as man criminality. According to Freda Adler’s book, Sisters in Crime, while an eagerness for self-sufficiency, women have altered the foundation which had guarded men in conventional dominance of being in control. In fact, Adler mentioned, that women’s roles would change, due to delinquency and change in roles as entering into sports, politics, and anything else that was male oriented at the time when women didn’t have a say in power. Women will be involved in crimes that were only known for men to be committing, the criminal rates would coincide with one another such as gangs and fighting (Siegel, Welsh, 2009).
Second, numerous studies back the feminist outlook of gender diversity in crime. Rita James Simon did explain how criminality in women has increased and it’s just a situation in which the roles in women are changing. She claimed that women who held the power of being on their own and working to make the money and socially accepted, they would be less likely to be dependent and enslaved to men. Therefore, husbands, children, lovers wouldn’t be their sole target when it comes to being attacked; they would instead have a new role of providing for the family which would boost women to employ in long-established roles of men, such as crimes, robberies, grand larceny, and car theft (Siegel, Welsh, 2009). In addition critical feminist says that gender diversity comes from the uneven capability of women and men and the consequent cruel treatment of women by men; which would cause delinquency in females which is an outbreak of male dominance in which males are in control of females’ sexuality; which leads to exploitation of women by boyfriends, husbands, and even fathers. …show more content…
Women are seen as an asset worthiness of being a possession, like a car or land and money; that’s how there is human trafficking and sexual exploitation of children, girls of underdeveloped nations could become the victim of exploitation (Siegel, Welsh, 2009). Do you support the view point(s) in the textbook regarding socialization? Yes, parents do treat boys different than girls when it comes to raising them into teenagers and adults. Males do learn differently than girls. Girls are taught that their place is in the kitchen or in the house cleaning, and doing chores; while the boys are taught that they are the breadwinners of the house and they do manly things like work on cars, hunt, and fish (Siegel, Welsh, 2009). According to Siegel & Welsh, Males learn to value independence, whereas females are taught that their self-worth depends on their ability to sustain relationships. Girls, therefore, run the risk of
