Colleges care immensely about impressions of their campuses to the expense of some of their students. Amy Becker reports in her article “91 Percent of Colleges Reported Zero Incidents of Rape in 2014” that of 11,000 campuses, 91 percent disclosed zero reports of rape in 2014. This appears as a wonderful statistic however it fails to match with research, campus surveys, or experiences reported by college students. In 2013, the Congress authorized the act Violence Against Women Act to address…

past. One of the myths we see echoed throughout the story as a reoccurring, central theme to the work is the myth of Philomela. Eliot depicts an image of human stagnation in his work, which can be compared to the unfruitfulness that comes from the rape Philomela story and the loveless central marriage between Procne and the King. The central difference between the two stories is that in Philomela’s version the Gods have the finial answer and are able to create something new unlike in Eliot’s…
With human trafficking being an already severe crime in the United States, the sex trade industry is what has so many young womens lives turned upside down. With the single largest demographic age for targets and victims being between the age of 12 and 15, the long term-impacts are more horrendous than any other (Chaffee & English, 2015). Although the age of 12 thru 15 is when a vast majority of girls are first exploited, the age can range tremendously. However, it is supported that a great deal…

There is more and more pressure on girls these days about boys pressuring them to have sex. Sex is giving an advantage for girls to be using the morning after pill more now.

get raped! Can they? In modern society male rape isn’t taken as seriously as the rape of women because men are emasculated if they received unwanted sex, even if they are gay.

Acquaintance rape “is a sexual assault perpetrated by someone who is known to the victim” (Romeo, 2004, p. 61). “Approximately 90% of college sexual assaults were committed by a perpetrator who was known to the victim prior to the time of the assault, often…
When I see women walking on the streets dressed in short, tight dresses and high heels with pounds of make up on, I often think they choose to dress that way. Maybe because they feel comfortable, it boosts their self-esteem or simply because it makes them look sexy. I’ve never really thought about the possibility that they were sold and forced into sex trafficking. Driving down the streets of Iowa I never thought I would actually see this going on. If you just take a second to look at these…
Misogyny is not only prominent in everyday life, but also in entertainment. The soap operas that are screened every day entail excessive force by male characters onto female characters, rape as well as physical abuse. Even in television women aren’t given the opportunity to be lead characters. They are usually submissive and act in roles such as a subservient wife, girlfriend or a character who needs a man to save her. In many cases when…
