Personal Narrative: How People Treat Partners As Sexual Objects

Decent Essays
It seems in today’s society people treat their partners as sexual objects. People are more concerned with having one night stands than having an actual relationship with someone. I don’t understand the reasoning behind this. My girlfriend has changed my whole outlook on the world. She has redefined trust, family, and loyalty for me.
She has stayed loyal to me even when I was twenty hours away. She went to college in Norfolk while I went to college in Toronto. Even though we were in two different countries we still stayed in contact with each other every day. We skyped each other whenever we had the chance. We thought it was miserable while we were apart, but when I came back to America it got harder. My girlfriend is African American. That

    College has always been described as a place where students are able to explore and find themselves, which can include wanting to explore dating, sex, and/or their sexuality. However, traditional dating in college has been replaced by “hooking up”- an ambiguous term that can signify anything from kissing to sexual intercourse without the emotional attachment of a relationship (Kelly, 2012). The author of “Sexism in Practice: Feminist Ethics Evaluating the Hook Up Culture”, Connor Kelly believes that rape culture is prevalent on college campuses because of the prevalence of hook-up culture on campuses as well (2012). Due to the ambiguity of the term hook up - it leaves a very open window of interpretation for two parties involved in a sexual…

    I had never seen so many ponies at the Manhattan Memorial park. Fillies were running around screaming, playing, chasing one another, giggling. By the looks of it, the chess competitors were trying to meditate in an isolated area of the park, preparing their minds for the tournament. From afar, I could hear drums and trombones. Seats were placed around the competitors’ tables, where they would eventually falter to either a win or a loss.…

    I am a girl, and because of this it has been impossible to avoid the persecution and isolation that comes from sexism. Every situation I have experienced that have shaped me to be who I am I have experienced sexism. Due to the activities I was involved in, it was magnified because I chose to be a percussionist, a theater technician, an attorney for mock trial, and a member of debate club. These have all been historically male dominated communities. Yet still I overcame all of the negativity, and not only joined these activities but climbed to leadership positions and became prominent members of each group.…

    “The fear of falling apart”, “Words are knives and often leave scars”, and “Don’t try to sleep through the end of the world and bury me alive. Cause’ I won’t give up without a fight” by Panic! At The Disco from their song This is Gospel is very important to me because it’s like saying no matter how hard you push and pull on me I won’t give up and that’s really encouraging to me. The way I can apply it to my life is I was bullied, cursed at, and yelled at all throughout middle school by other students and no matter how hard I wanted to give up and just crawl into bed and say “No, go away.”…

    Respecting myself is what I consider to be one of my defining characteristics, so when I heard one of my male cross country teammates saying offensive things about me and my female teammates, I had to say something. At this time four out of the six girls on my team were dealing with some type of injury. Problems with our hips, knees, and ankles were some of the issues we were dealing with. This particular male teammate was saying things like, “Our girls team is really slacking right now.” In addition, he was mocking us by saying, “I can’t go to practice today because I have a hangnail.”…

    There is something inside every human being that pushes us to empathize. Whether to use it to our own advantage or to just lend a helping hand, human will always need other humans. When it comes to victims of sexual assault, I realized my response time was faster when coming to their aid or defense. Crimes of absolute injustice where the sentencing rates are zero to none because victim shaming was easier than the paperwork and investigation that went into convicting the assailant. Yet it was never the victim's fault, and no one ever seemed to have told them.…

    The Relationship… It was one of those perfect Pacific Northwest evenings. I had gone to bed early with a good book to the sound of gentle rain falling outside. The kind of rain that is relaxing and drowns out the cares of the world, not the kind that overwhelms a sump pump and breaches the temporary roof repairs. This was the earliest I had been to bed in recent memory.…
