Not only did she not receive the same standard of care as white Americans, her white doctor sampled her cells during an exam without her consent.
This shouldn't have happened. I understand times were different but I still think that people have a right to their own privacy.
Until I take responsibility for what happened, I will never get past it.I left, and I never sought therapy again, although I probably should. The nightmares never left. I feel like I can’t tell anyone.
Being a psychologist means you help people go through their trauma and try to help them feel better and to feel more comfortable. The fact that this psychologist just told him to take responsibility for something that happened to him is awful. I do think that he should have found a new psychologist instead of giving up on it entirely.
while it is often assumed that inmate-on-inmate sexual assault comprises men victimizing men, the survey found that women state prisoners were more than three times as likely to experience sexual victimization perpetrated by women inmates (13.7 percent) than were men to be victimized by other male inmates (4.2 percent)
It still happens though. Whether they are male or female it's still happening and it shouldn't.
“for women prisoners and girls in detention, staff perpetrators are overwhelmingly male, and for men and boys the staff perpetrators are overwhelmingly female.”
This leads to the inmates getting raped and abused which I think should be put to a stop.
For years, the FBI definition of rape was gendered, requiring “carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will.”
Why wouldn't they also put men in their definition as well? Rape can happen to anyone.
Today, despite advances, being a person with intellectual disability can mean lack ofprivacy, lack of control, lack of education, limited economic independence, being tested ondeficits not strengths, being ‘‘other’’, being a ‘‘captive of care’’, having to be ‘‘grateful’’ andcompliant, being at higher risk of abuse, and having no means of communicating
I understand why this is, but have people ever really tried to treat people with disabilities a little less like five year olds and more like adults? What if having them make their own decisions makes them happier or makes them feel more mature.
Historically, people with disability have beensubject to sexual segregation, sexual confinement, marital prohibition and legally-sanc-tioned sterilisation under the guise of patient protection from pregnancy and sexual abuse
Isn't this because they can't legally give consent without the other person involved getting arrested or in trouble?
Whilst there have been quantumleaps in technology and science, we have come less far in attitudes towards people withintellectual disability and sexual expression
People are more confident to make fun of people on social media than in person. No one likes actual confrontation because they want to seem tougher than they really are.
Ana rarely communicates any desires of her own, but rather Christian orchestrates their scenes completely.
I feel like Ana might not mention any of her desires because she might like what Christian is doing anyway. Or maybe she just doesn't know what she likes or doesn't like.
For the record, you stood beside me knowing what I was going to do. You didn't at any time ask me to stop – you didn't use either safewordi. You are an adult – you have choices
Doesn't no mean no and stop mean stop? Regardless of whether you have a safe word or not.
Reflective of neoliberal approaches, the responsibility for consent in the Fifty Shades novels is located within individuals. Specifically it is up to Anastasia Steele (who is both the women in the relationship, and the potential submissive) to provide her consent (or not) for the various practices which Christian (the man, and the dominant) wants to engage in.
She provided consent. Not to everything, but to a lot. I just thought the movies were weird .
The books include explicit references to BDSM contracts, safewords, and checklists of activities, drawing on common understandings and practices from BDSM communities.
I suppose that's true, but a little weird. It's not something I see happening in real life.
Many of the tips written for female audiences reproduce the idea that men are typicallysexual initiators while those written for male or mixed-gender audiences tend toassume that both men and women will initiate sexting and thus both need to beadvised to negotiate consent
I think it's pretty equal. Men and women initiate it, but I'm sure men initiate it a little more than women do.
As such, mobile phones—particularly text messaging—may encourage communication that is more direct anddeliberate,
Some texts that people send or receive are definitely not what some people are expecting to see. Like non solicited pictures or text messages. People are definitely more bold over the phone.
The guidance thattypically accompanies these news articles about teen sexting is that parents and schoolsshould promote sexting abstinence and monitor teens’technology use.
I wouldn't monitor your child's phone. Every teenager has a right to their privacy and taking that away from them could result in a lot of arguments or even negative behavior.
Sexting, the practice of sharing sexually suggestive images or text messages via mobilephone, is common among young adults.1Yet much of the news coverage of the issueassumes that the practice is deviant, risky, and dangerous for teens.
Sexting is definitely risky. Send a picture to the wrong person and they could send it to everyone you know or even people you don't know.
. Bodily self-determination suggests that individualsshould be free to direct and control their own bodies, while bodily inviolability suggeststhat individuals have a right to be free from unwanted constraint or exposure
Both of these things should be a given. They should already be happening. none should be pressured to do anything they don't want and they should have control over their own bodies.
Tocompel anyone, and especially a woman, to lay bare the body or to submit it to the touch of astranger without lawful authority is an indignity, an assault, and a trespass.
I think this should definitely something that should be noticed by everyone. I feel like it has been a big problem lately
Finally catching up tomagnitude of the problem, 38 states have passed non-consensual pornography laws‒mostof them in just the past few years
I don't think that really stops people though. Yeah there are laws saying it is illegal too, but are people really going to follow them?
A recent study found‘one in 25online Americans have either had sensitive images posted without their permission orhad someone threaten to post photos of them’
I feel like this happens a lot in high school. People will send sensitive things to someone they trust and then it gets sent to other people.
Fortunately, we are beginning to see some exceptions to this monotony of representation, and to the lack of de-pictions of consent negotiation, though we rarely get both of these in the same product.
Basically they are making sex scenes that are more realistic and not pornography kind of stuff?
They claim that the ubiquity of pornography in our culture cre-ates an environment where it is difficult for young people to know what normal, healthy sexual practices and rela-tionships look like, which in turn puts pressure on them to consent to acts they may not want.
I agree that people look think of pornography as something that would happen in real life and think that what a relationship is, but I don't think it would 100% put pressure on them to do something they wouldn't want to do.
In this way, radical feminists argue, pornography makes men into rapists and women into willing victims.
I wouldn't say that it makes men into rapists and women willing victims.
In fact young people would prefer for their parents to be much more involved in their sex and rela-tionships education than they currently are, and to be one of the main sources of information about sex while grow-ing up.
I never had the "talk" with my parents, but I'm very much okay with that. That is uncomfortable and I'm okay that it didn't happen.
nearly half of young people are not being taught how to tell a healthy relationship from an abusive one.
I feel like this is something that everyone should learn. It's important. I agree that it's not taught and it should be.
Feminist theorists have built on Foucault’s ideas to show how, for instance, beauty standards in our society generate practices such as dieting and exercise, which have a direct impact on women’s bodies.
This is true. It's not even just beauty standards. Girls have to dress a certain way. for example, dress coding. You can't wear a shirt that shows your shoulders because it's too distracting.
In long-term relationships, unwanted sex is some-times explained as relationship maintenance: doing things for your partner, even if you do not necessarily want to, in order to make or keep them happy or because they also do similar things for you.
"Relationship maintenance". I don't think I would consider this relationship maintenance. Why would you give consent to sex that you don't want. I understand that you would want them to be happy but if they cared about you a lot then you not wanting to do it shouldn't matter that much.
One very common experience that begins to shed a light on some of these questions is “unwanted sex”: some-times individuals will consent (in a legal sense) to having sex even if they do not want it.
If they don't want to have sex and they consent to it anyway I feel like that is on them and on the other person. They shouldn't have consented anyway if they didn't want it. As for the other person involved they should read their body language and determine if they actually want it.
Saying that consent can be conditional means that you can say “yes, I want to do this with you, but only on these conditions.”
Legal contract?
This both reflects and reinforces wider social attitudes about what is and is not sex, and what does and does not require consent.
Don't a lot most things require consent? Also sex is what people are giving consent too. Unless they say yes to it ,whether it's verbal or in body language, then it's not sex and it's rape.
Like asking for consent, giving consent can be done in many different ways,
Some people have been taught that consent is usually a verbal thing. "yes means yes" and "no means no". So this might be something new to them.
The “no means no” approach is fundamentally different from the radical feminist approach, as it focuses on personal agency and consent negotiation between individuals.
Still very similar.
In the area of sexuality, some radical feminists argue that sex and vio-lence, intercourse and rape, are so intimately intertwined (both legally and socially) that it becomes difficult to tell the difference.
They are all equally bad but they definitely have big differences.
the radical feminist approach, the “no means no” and “yes means yes”
Everyone should already know this but it is still an important topic.
