Slut

Societal and psychological perceptions of gender and beauty greatly affect women because they marginalize women’s identities and who they are as individuals. These preconceived societal and cultural perceptions of women disregard them as individuals with their own experiences, ideals and beliefs, education, self-worth, sexuality, etc. They demonstrate how women are viewed in society as well as how they are “expected” to behavior and how they should look; as a result, when a woman goes against…

partners you have had to avoid being judged? Why or why not? 2. How does it make you feel to hear that men in society today are perceived as “better” or “manly” or “pimps” if they have a high number of sex partners, and that women are perceived as “sluts” or “whores” or “easy” if they have a high number of sex partners? 3. How do you protect yourself from these connotations? 4. In your opinion, what does the number of sex partners a man or a woman has mean to you? To society? 5.…

“Dammit Joanna, this is what you get for being a slut. Why couldn’t you have kept your legs shut?” I mumble under my breath. But then I laugh/cry imagining her saying: take it back. I mean it, take it back right now. My sister always said that, right after she punched my arm. The guy hands me a Kleenex. Shit. I despise guys who cry. He was a crier — overly apologizing for all the crap he’d done to us every single time he was drunk, which was often. His tears were never sincere or backed by love…

double binds we see as an audience in the film Easy A. For example, at the beginning of the film, Olives peers see her as a prude, or geeky for not being sexually active, but when rumor goes around that she loses her virginity, they now see her as a ‘slut’ and ‘easy’. These are two ideas that totally contradicted themselves, and are ultimately impossible to achieve at the same time. It’s almost like society is saying ‘have sex or you’re a prude’ and ‘if you have sex you’re a…

They do not consider their expectations are far away from their daughters dreams. In this world, mothers and daughters do not conceive the same thoughts about someone future. Mothers regularly make plans towards their daughters’ lives without thinking their daughters have other plans which differ from them. There are two stories…

The mother also tells the girl how she is expected to act in society by enforcing the way she must act “on Sundays [, and] try to walk like a lady and not like the slut you are so bent on becoming;” (Kincaid 1) Also in the story “Saving Sourdi” you can see the girls at a young age having responsibilities and leaning the roles of woman from their mother. This often or not lends to the mothers ending up molding their…

See, when I think of Regency Era books (Or Victorian or Lady-and-Lord books or whatever you call them), it's hard for me to think about women empowerment and girl power. It's not like the times were conducive to women's rights: Women belonged to their husbands and fathers; they had no legal recourse if their 'guardians' were abusive. Furthermore, Pride and Prejudice captured an important truth about society's expectations for the fairer half of nobility: One, they would marry well and two, they…

A few points in the book made me think that the Finch kids will not meet Boo. One reason is that people said Boo existed but Scout and Jem had never seen him. There are many rumors about Boo Radley and the Scout and Jem believed every one of them. It is hard to believe that Scout and Jem considering that some of the adults in town have never layed eyes on him. One of these rumors was that Boo only came out at night, which makes me think that Scout and Jem wont ever see Boo. Another thing that…
