Prostitution: Differing Feminist Views
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page overview of the inroads made to understanding female prostitution which have resulted with feminist research. Notes that feminist research on female prostitution has in itself exhibited a two-sided approach to the issues. On the one hand, feminist research indicts female prostitution as a system of exploitation and sexual abuse and as an institution which results in sexual subordination and enslavement. Other feminist research, however, views female prostitution as a means by which women can empower themselves and materially prosper by preying on the needs and desires of men. Summarizes each view and concludes by noting that the key to understanding prostitution is a fuller understanding of the applications of the words "choice" and "consent". Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Rape
[ send me this paper ]
20 pages in length. The issues of gender, patriarchy and sexual violence are inextricably intertwined within the complexities of social existence. That women have always had to confirm their worth as human beings serves as a significant indicator to the overwhelming oppression thrust upon the female gender by means of physical and emotional abuse. Examining the extent to which women have been the recipients of such barbaric treatment at the hands of their male counterparts enables one to gain a better understanding of how the progression of sexual violence has perpetrated through the ages; only within the last few decades of the twentieth century have women been able to find any solace through crisis counseling, protective legislation and the enlightenment of law enforcement authorities.

Serving Class Of The Nineteenth Century England: Treatment Of Women
[ send me this paper ]
14 pages in length. Chosen as the inferior gender by some unwritten code centuries ago to which society has adhered unchallenged, nineteenth century British serving class women found themselves under the control of societal dictates and prejudicial pecking order established solely by a patriarchal society. The psychoanalytic perspective of teaching women to depend upon everyone else but themselves speaks to the fact that they did not possess the necessary and intrinsic qualities to maintain their own singular existence. History has demonstrated that if it were not for the presence of the British man, the woman would hold no individual value; instead, she was to remain in association with male control in order to have any semblance of significance. Messages like these that permeated throughout the minds of young and impressionable British girls served to form their thoughts and perceptions for the future; with such lessons demonstrating how difficult life can be without appropriate patriarchal influence, young girls were spoon fed inaccurate and highly damaging information with regard to their own self worth and capabilities that remained in the forefront of their adult lives.

Societal Barriers Based on Sexual Orientation, Gender, and Race
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of the numerous societal barriers and limitations which are put in place on the basis of race, gender, and sexual orientation. Contends that since the advent of the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, societal restrictions and limitations made on the basis of gender and race have slowly lessened. The reason for this change is the willingness of individuals to stand up for their basic rights, to exert their differences and to insist that there be no societal differentiation based on those differences. While there has been tremendous progress in regard to societal equality of the races and genders, however, there are still many barriers and limitations which are imposed on such factors as sexual orientation. The author contends that these restrictions and limitations can be overcome as well. All that is needed is the willingness to do so and the fortitude to stand in the face of all resistance.
