Around the world, society has a different way of
accepting prostitution and rape. Women across the world have not been able to
speak up for themselves and have rights to their own body. However, in today’s
society women have rights to their body but the laws still justify to not take
some cases as serious. Prostitution has been band from countries and acceptable
to others. Rape has been also banded from countries and accepted along with
prostitution in other countries. My argument is why is prostitution and rape
still okay in other countries? Shouldn’t it be not acceptable everywhere? Why
is there blame to women for date rape? If a woman says no to sex, no matter how
much she entices a man, he should respect her answer.
Prostitution is selling your body by doing sexual
services. Back in the day men used to give attractive women money for sexual
pleasure. Now prostitution has turned into physical, emotional, and
psychological abuse. Across the world men have gained control over women. In
the United States, men are considered to be “pimps” and the women are called “whores”.
Men will sometimes beat women if they don’t make enough money and sell their
body in a certain fashion. Prostitutes are usually dressed in short miniskirts,
high heels, makeup, hair extensions, long nails, and halter tops. In other
countries, men will have a house full of women called “whore houses”. In a country
like Russia, women are put out on auction for wealthy men to buy them. I feel
that the whole idea of prostitution is degrading but if a woman wants to sell
her body, let it be on her own leisure, not being controlled. On the website
www.prostitution.procon.org
stated, “…German government legalized prostitution. Now, legal contracts
between prostitutes and clients can be established. The government withholds a
portion of their earnings to pay social benefits like pensions and health
insurance and to guarantee a regular 40-hour-workweek”. Also, in Germany I found
several reports of women being forced and bidden on for a lot of money for private
owned prostitutes. In the movie called, “Taken” was about a young girl that was
kidnaped in Russia and was almost sent to another country. However, he father
was able to save her. Unfortunately, other women in real life has dealt with
that same situation and was not saved. Also, a lot of women are introduced to
drugs and a lot of them die on overdose. Lastly, I feel that women should not
be sold and controlled.
Rape is a violent act that includes sex to feel dominant
over someone. Women are raped all around the world by men. Majority of men rape
women because they have to feel powerful or can have a psychological issue as
well. Also, date rape is considered to be a woman giving mix signals to a man
and he becomes sexually aroused. I feel that a man doesn’t have a right to have
sex with any woman if she says no. It doesn’t matter if she flirts with him or
shows her body. However, there have been many cases that women have found drugs
in their system and men have taken advantage of them. In court, men will try to
plead not guilty and say that they had consensual sex. However, blood works
shows on women that they were intoxicated with drugs slipped into their drinks.
On the website called www.cwfefc.org stated, “Every 2 minutes,
someone in the U.S. is sexually assaulted. (U.S. Department of Justice's
National Crime Victimization Survey)”. I feel that people need to be on women
side even if they did go home with a unknown man. If she says no to sex, it’s
no and the man needs to accept that.
In my Sociology 170 class at Northern Illinois
University, my professor had a lecture about Sexual Issues and Controversies.
He talked about the different sexual issues such as prostitution and rape/date
rape. I honestly feel that society doesn’t see women bodies important. Society portrays
women to look and act a certain way. Also, I feel that the whole date rape is
strictly cause by the man not the woman. If a woman even changes her mind about
having sex, the man should accept that.
In conclusion, I feel that women rights are still not
equal because some women are forced to this day to be prostitutes and raped. I don’t
believe in date rape because I feel that if a woman is standing in front of him
naked, if she says no then its no. I feel that women should not have their
rights taken from them.
