Men who have sex with men

Until recently gender and sex have both been viewed in binary terms, and considered interchangeable. Now as more people are publicly identifying as trans, agender, or nonbinary, and different sexual orientations are coming to light, feminism and human rights have expanded these concepts in order to encompass people who are more marginalized than their cisgender and heterosexual counterparts. However, the idea of the gender binary is still strictly enforced through popular culture, and especially…

Tobacco and Vaping effects on estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone using C Elegans as a model Sex hormones are very important to the health of both men and women. The level of these hormones determines many things including regulation of cholesterol (estrogen), strengthening of bones (both testosterone and estrogen) and helps with pregnancy in females (progesterone) (Hormone Health Network). Thus, abnormal levels of these hormones can cause serious problems. It is important to…

topics, but I there are some points to which I disagree with or think that can be expanded. With the first point being oppression, I will bring up an idea of how women cannot be both and how that fit into a double bind. Sexism includes both sex-marking and sex-announcing, I will talk about how it’s important to recognize the counterpoint to her argument and just some things I think should be added. The last point is coercion and exploitation and how the free will of women essentially does not…

I have decided to write about chapter 1, in the book of Romans, specifically verses 26 to 27. Sex in ancient times was very culturally different than how it is in our current culture, mainly due to how we view and classify sexual behaviors. Citizens of Athens often portrayed sex, not as a mutually enjoyed act between two people, but instead as an “action performed by one person upon another” (Halperin, 29). Ancient sex classifications did not use sexual orientation differences, such as…

bastion of patriarchal power, the nuclear family.” Ministers across the world have focused on two solely “problems”: abortion and homosexuality. Puberty is when the society pressure to be heterosexual and preparing for marriage hard for individuals who struggle with their identity. The Lavender Menace discussed about women who were feminist and were lesbians often hid their sexuality or spoke less at organizations to have a greater effect on the audience. “The Woman Identified Woman” help…

Equality Women and man in the book “Brave New World” By Aldous Huxley women are hardly equal to men the only time they are equal is in terms of sex. Women come out more dumb than men . One thing they are equally is that they are allowed to sleep with whomever they want. Men are powerful figures and women are only sex objects. Throughout the book you could tell men are superior than woman. Men are the ones that know what they are doing and they think women can't do. Here begins a key…

Past Women, Women, Women! The way men perceive women has evolved but not by much. In the few months of English 2025, there have been a lot of weak minded women characters made by men. From Joseph Andrews to An Imaginative Woman, the women have left much to be desired. These characters have been either one dimensional with juvenile, trivial purposes or scandalous, vindictive ones. The men in these novels, however, have been serious, innocent, and righteous. Men are the providers and superior…

Womanhood The Cult of True Womanhood defined the four qualities every woman should have: “piety, purity, domesticity, and submissiveness” (Taylor). During the late 1800s and early 1900s, white men took it upon themselves to “protect” women. These men created the ideals of the Cult of True Womanhood, and worked to preserve these virtues at all costs. The Cult oppressed both black and white women of this time because the men forced them to adhere to this restrictive lifestyle. While the Cult…

his rampage, Rodger uploaded a video on YouTube detailing his plans and explaining his motives. He describes his actions as retribution for the fact that he was still a virgin because girls rejected his sexual advances. Rodger declares, “If I can't have you, girls, I will destroy you. (laughs) You denied me a happy life, and in turn, I will deny all of you life. (laughs) It's only fair” (CNN, 2014). The 2014 Isla Vista attack was the consequence of the sense of entitlement Rodger felt to women's…

Sexual attitudes have changed tremendously throughout history. In the 19th century women were seen as inferior individuals and did not equal up to the status of a man. Education and beauty did not at all matter to the superior sex of males. Women’s roles, economic status, and social status were all dominated by the male society. Silence lingered among women during the 19th century. They did as they were told and remained under the control of men. They spoke when spoken to and had intercourse…
