Welsh (1999) examines sexual harassment from a gender perspective and concludes that sexual harassment may be contextualized by both 'organizational and individual factors" and that gender examination is primary to the study of sexual harassment; further she claims there is no unified theoretical framework that can help explain the occurrence of sexual harassment (169). Many studies have concluded that sexual harassment lowers morale, increases absenteeism, decreases overall job satisfaction and individual's perceptions of opportunity within the organization as well as damages interpersonal relationships (Welsh, 1999; Gruber 1992)
Jensen asserts that as a consequence of the "patriarchal system in which we live, a key site of men's oppression of women -- a key method of control and domination -- is sexuality." (Jensen, p
The feminist historian Joan Jacobs Brumberg has written that "however prudish and 'uptight' the Victorians were, our ancestors had a deep commitment to girls." (Flanagan, 2008) Yet even in this article, no discussion is carried out on just how Juno, the film, was unable to portray such acts
" (McIntosh, 1990) Needless to say, according to some studies, "many Whites began to identify with the "new racism" epitomized by right-wing" talk show hosts, such as Rush Limbaugh in the late 1980's and early 1990's, and the movie, in a way evidences these preconceptions by stating very superficially that teen pregnancy not only transcends race, but also is a problem in White communities. (Giroux, 1997) Though this may be somewhat true, teen pregnancy is still a problem in many African-American communities, and this is important to examine, as well as the reason why this problem still exists to such an extent in this community
Such ideas come from the various social policies passed in the United States, such as Affirmative Action, which helped some races, and hurt others, yet some still say that it is White people who profit from this separation of races, no matter what the viewpoint. (Lipsitz, 1998) Such 'white ideas' or is what some individual espouse, yet many, again, believe that there is still a type of 'white privilege' and a way in which to overcome ideas of unfairness is to see all layers of society, no matter how tough or impermeable
That's totally unrealistic." (Lowen, 2012) In responding to how Juno portrays gender and sexuality Feldt also states, and rightly so, that "…an adolescent girl doesn't have a lot of power, but one of the ways that she can demonstrate her power is through her sexuality […] I've been astonished how many older teens and women in their twenties thought the film was wonderful
Furthermore, paradoxically, some sociologists claim that although this privilege exists, there is still a sort of 'new racism' that must be discussed, and state, "to redesign social systems we need first to acknowledge their colossal unseen dimensions." (McIntosh, 1990) Needless to say, according to some studies, "many Whites began to identify with the "new racism" epitomized by right-wing" talk show hosts, such as Rush Limbaugh in the late 1980's and early 1990's, and the movie, in a way evidences these preconceptions by stating very superficially that teen pregnancy not only transcends race, but also is a problem in White communities
Although Nanny's focus on middle-class respectability and her regulation of Janie's sexuality seem to reinforce polarities between middle-class sexual repression and working-class expressivity, Hurston works to dismantle the dichotomy, in part, by positioning Nanny as a former slave and a member of the working class." (Batker, "Love Me Like I Like to Be," Page 201) Nanny often scolds, chides, and even humiliates Janie
One of the ultimate messages of the novel is that if one adheres to ones ideals of romance and sex, satisfaction and fulfillment are possible, even for a black woman, as Nanny says, "De nigger woman is de mule uh de world so fur as Ah can see." (Hurston, TEWWG, Page 29) Sexuality is closely tied to setting in the novel
Marks notes that, "To the passionate relationships Hurston attaches metaphors of natural fertility and sexuality, whereas she associates control relationships with physical deformity, decay, and technological, non-sexual productivity." (Marks, "Sex, Violence, & Organic Consciousness," Page 152) Janie watches the bees mate with the flowers, detecting the satisfaction and delight of the act
This is one of the rare times that it is not a criminal behavior. It does however become a criminal behavior in the event of rape, or bestiality or child molestation and other examples (Holmes, 1991)
While some lewd behaviors only impact the person committing the behavior, this particular term has a significant impact on the victims as well as the perpetrator. The act of rape, the forced engagement of pain during sexual overtures, even if they do not include penetration falls under this term (Ressler, 1995)
Usually what is described as sex addiction, however, involves conventional, or non-paraphiliac, sexual behaviors that, when taken to an extreme, like alcohol, can interfere with daily functioning & produce guilt, shame & recurrent harm to oneself or others. (Azhar, 1999, p
Further, this addiction interferes with their everyday lives, to include finances, intimate relationships, careers and self-esteem. (Earle, 1995, pp
Sexual addiction is a disease and nothing fun or romantic depicted in the movies is true. For approximately 3-6% of the population (Gold, 1998, p
" Sex is objectified and becomes a basis for self-worth. There is no such thing as intimacy. (Goldstein, 1994, p
What is Sexual Addiction? The concept is confusing and has only become part of psychologists' vocabulary in the past 50 years. The term was first used by Freud who had referred to masturbation as "the primal addiction" from which all other addictive disorders derive (Goodman, 1998, p
227) While the American Psychiatric Association does not currently recognize sex addiction as a mental illness, they have classifications that are helpful for understanding sexual behavior disorders. (Groneman, 2000, pp
This realization coupled with the knowledge that her mother doesn't have a penis leads to her thinking her mother unworthy, and becoming attracted to her father, as he does have a penis. (Kasl, 1989, pp
Sexual addiction can be divided into different categories, to include paraphilic compulsive sexual behavior and nonparaphilic compulsive sexual behavior. (Kornblum, 1997, pp
