and economic equality of the sexes. The sociological definition of feminism is “set of political ideologies used by the women’s movement to advance the cause of women’s equality and to end the sexist theory and practice of social oppression”.

today’s society. Examples of rape culture are everywhere and have slowly made its way into everyday life that it is almost invisible. In definition, rape culture is a culture in where rape or sexual violence is condoned or normalized, but deeper in the definition there are other subjects such as victim blaming, objectification and much more.

It’s important to distinguish that this investment in straightness is characterized by heterosexual culture rather than heterosexual physical activity (Ingraham 209). It also is perpetuated as a social order and institution in…

research done on the topic, but when looking at it through a social lens, sexual behaviors and attitudes can become difficult to measure. Regardless of difficulty, however, many sociologists have studied the trends that fall into the category of sexuality as a social phenomenon (Blumstein, 1978). When studying sex…
