    Gender and Sexuality from the Medieval to the 19th Century Throughout written history there have been a set of rules about typically anything one can fathom, from style of dress to the way one could worship, from who could own land to how a certain person could wear their hair. It is no surprise that these rules, enforced by society through social and judicial means, extended themselves into the subject of sexuality even if the terminology was different during the period. We get concepts of good and bad repeatedly throughout different times and different subjects simply to define what is acceptable, and unacceptable within a culture. Within the history of sexuality, from early medieval times to the late Victorian period (the 19th Century)…

    One in five women will be raped in their lifetime. This statistic can be unnerving to some, but to others it is just a number. Although rape is such a large problem in our society, it seems to have become a normality and consequence of life. Girls are being taught to cover up their bodies to protect themselves, while boys are being taught that sexual violence is a byproduct of natural instincts. The use of terms like “boys will be boys” shows that there is a lack of discipline for boys’ harassment.…

    Ted Bundy is the world’s most infamous serial killer. While there is absolutely no excusing what he did, I belive certain factors, like pornography, heightened his genetic pre-disposition to be a killer. In saying this I agree with his statement that pornography played a part in culminating his violent behaviour, although this wasn’t the only factor that influenced his behaviour, it certainly played a major role. Research shows that watching porn is similar to doing drugs. The first time you watch it you get a rush of endorphines and your brain gets stimulated in a way that is similar to doing cocaine or substances of a similar nature.…

    In “Perils of Pornophobia” Nadine Strossen argues that pro censorship of all pornography is not the answer. Strossen describes a number of situations, where artistic paintings and photographs of woman’s nude bodies were removed from public viewing because of censorship. She states that pro-censorship feminists design their arguments on the premise that getting rid of pornography from society would reduce sexism and violence against women. She argues that Pornophobia would simply collide feminists in their battle for women’s liberation and rights. Strossen implies that many pornophobic feminists conclude that sex is degrading to women and that even consensual or nonviolent sex is evil and so women must be confined.…

    The Oversexualization of Women in Modern Media There is a stark difference between being sexual and being sexualized. Men are permitted to be sexual, but are not oversexualized in media. Inversely, women are permitted to be sexualized in media, but are prohibited from being sexual. Having said that, the sexualization of women in media creates boundaries for women that men do not face, and impacts the cognitive development and mental health of women. The tendency to oversexualize women is a very “western” or “first world” occurrence (North America/Canada/Europe/Developed Countries), and is influenced by modernization and the availability of technology and media.…

    They say sex sells… and that is ultimately the issue. Sexual intercourse was once considered by society to be a private act, a physical pact made between two people behind closed doors. How did such a seemingly private act turn into such a lucrative business; when did it become acceptable for men and women to view their bodies as sexual commodities? In the primitive ages, it was necessary for cavemen to observe the act of procreation so that they could ensure the reproduction and longevity of their species. However, as time progressed, sex became more private because it was no longer necessary for humans to learn through observation when they could communicate the basic concepts verbally.…
