Jackson Katz’s didactic tone emphasizes the gender violence issues in society through the points made “ in the domestic and sexual violence field know [as] victim-blaming” as well as how with “power and privilege, [there is] the ability to go unexamined.” How we think conspires us to keep our attention off of men; instead of pursuing the perpetrator we now follow the victim. We use the violence or pain that has happened to someone to identify/label that person. Victim blaming has become prominent in our society today. The power and privilege that some people hold has allowed them to silence the voices of many.…
Parts of my argument is coming from the article titled Rape and Denial written By Alice Vachss in 1993. The author discusses a federal non solution, writing about documented failures of the state and local governments to investigate, penalize and prosecute sexual assaults. She also discusses how violence against women seem to be ignored about being built around civil right provisions. She has spent ten years as a sex crime prosecutor in New York, and during this time frame she has seen rapist walk free, these rapists has walked simply because of the bad laws, and by bad laws. Vachss has done really well by this informing information she took the time to share with us, not just by something she read about in a paper, or heard stories on but…
On Date Rape and Fallacious Arguments Camille Paglia is not a stranger to writing divisive editorials. As a self-proclaimed ‘social critic’, she said in response to criticism of her first book “Sexual Personae” published in 1990, “it was intended to please no one, and to offend everyone” (20Q). Thus, it should be no surprise that she has views on date rape that are unpopular for the current social mindset. In her editorial “On Date Rape”, Paglia declares “my kind of feminism stresses personal responsibility”, and concludes that if women are raped, it is because they do not acknowledge the inherent risk of interacting with men and are not protecting themselves accordingly (144, 145). In the editorial, Paglia is unapologetically unsympathetic…

Video: “Rape in the Fields” in retrospective. Frontline, Univision, the Investigative Reporting Program at UC Berkeley, and the Center for Investigative Reporting partnered a year long investigation, to tell “the story of the hidden price many migrant women working in America’s fields and packing plants pay to stay employed and provide for their families”.

Roxane Gay - Reading Response The three readings by Roxane Gay talks about rape culture and men. The idea that rape has more of a negative effect on men rather than women. The idea that the impact is more detrimental to the rapist rather that the victim is something that occurs in these readings a lot. In Careless Language of Sexual Violence, Gay talks about the case of James McKinley Jr., where the focus was more on the lives of the men, rather than the 11-year-old child who was raped by 18 men, ranging from the ages of middle school boys to 27 year olds.…
According to Susan Jacoby, one of the leading causes of date rape is simply mixed signals. The articles “Rape: A Bigger Danger Than Feminist Know” by Camille Paglia and “Common Decency” by Susan Jacoby both elaborate on the topic of rape and date rape. The two writers have much to say about this topic but each reach a different conclusion. Between these articles it is obvious that the stronger article is “Common Decency,” because her argument is more effective and balanced than that of Paglia who has a less balanced argument. Susan Jacoby’s article is effective because she achieves the balance of all three rhetorical appeals thus passing the aristotelian test.…

Accompanying the resurgence of popular ‘feminism’, the discussion of rape and sexual assault in places of work, education and duty have been brought to the table for awareness and reform. In many cases the justice system works against victims. Too many stories tell the events of detectives and district attorneys inappropriately favoring the accused and not attempting to investigate the claim of the victim. Further accounts of colleges and universities not complying with regulation to investigate all assault allegations and report felony charges to the police are prevailing as pressure by donors to maintain a pristine reputation dominates judgment. The term ‘rape’ is often substituted with the phrase, “It was a misunderstanding.”…
1. Why was it important for Sandy to keep the school principal and others informed about her plans? It is important to keep the school officials informed because she would have to validate her reasoning for wanting to address the situation via a group rather than individually. Because this is not the school 's usual protocol and there would probably be some skepticism of her desire to handle the situation in this manner, so it is important for this to be a collaborative effort. Moreover, Sandy was working with teens who had a history of violent behavior, so for her safety and the children 's as well it would be wise to keep officially informed of the group 's progress.…
