Essay About Rape Women

981 Words4 Pages

“Men rape, women are raped.” What a fallacious statement! We are telling you, not only women are raped by men, men are raped by women too. We, as a group, realised that Malaysians always shy away from topics relating to rape or sex because people still think it as a taboo and should not be discussed publicly but we think it is time to bring this issue under the headlights. What is even bigger of a problem than the mind set of Malaysians is for the fact that our Penal Code is gender-biased in which it only sees women as victims and pin-points men as predators. The main issue that we are bringing forward in our essay is the rape law here in Malaysia should be gender-neutral. In general, the rape law here in Malaysia should be gender-neutral …show more content…

People always make weird faces when we tell them about this issue, they make faces as if saying, “What on Earth are they talking about? Does this kind of things exist? I’ve never read it in the news or anything”. They are indeed half right and half wrong. They are right because yes, here in Malaysia, male rape has never made the headlines and yes, they are wrong because men do get raped by women. The main reason why we have never heard of headlines on this issue is partly because there are no cases reported. Why there are no cases reported? According to Javaid (2014, citing Sleath and Bull, 2010) this is because the male rape victims are scared to face the social prejudice and poor treatment when they report that they have been raped (. We will now discuss two main social prejudices and that are faced by these poor, poor men. The first social prejudice is boys and men can’t be victims (South Eastern Centre Against Sexual Assault & Family Violence, 2015). The society has been instilled with the masculine gender socialization in their mind sets, where they view men as macho, not vulnerable, strong and etc. So when a man comes forward to say that he was raped, the society will tend to question that he should be strong enough to protect himself. What we want to stress over here is that men can be vulnerable

    However, even though they are usually not the ones at fault, nothing is ever said about the event. In a report by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, it was found that 75 to 77 percent of sexual assaults, attempted rapes, and completed rapes were never reported (“Sexual Assault and Rapes”). Furthermore, the blame of the whole event was never put on the person responsible. Instead, the victim was blamed for not denying the advances, or for not making themselves clearer in their intents(“Sexual Assault and Rapes”). This huge chip to carry often leaves the victims feeling isolated, scared, full of shame, depressed, and with a low self-esteem(“Sexual Assault and Rapes”).

    This is another reason why the case may have resulted the way it did, but that doesn’t stop people from fighting back. Not only is substance abuse and statistics a big factor, but barriers to reporting is a main component that correlates with the case. “Recent research has found that 40% of college students believed that a woman was responsible for being raped if she was intoxicated at the time of the assault” (Schwarz, Jill, et al., 2). These statistics lead many woman who are assaulted to stay silent about it. It is also known that some girls stay quiet about their assault because it is believed to be misunderstanding or it is the “norm”.

    The authors this week all proposed the fundamental issue with current theories as the ignoring of the female gender and how current theories assume motives for crime to be equal across genders. Simpson (1989) and Chesney-Lind (2006) take the biggest stance on how not only gender influences criminal perspectives but race as well. This is an extremely important notion. Colored women do not experience the chivalry that white women are often afforded under the system. While the current belief is that women in general are subjected to less harsher punishments than men, this is simply not the case.

    “Although concerning sexual practices between adults and children have existed throughout history and across cultures, whether such behavior was conceived of and defined as ‘abuse’ has been dependent on the societal values of the particular period” (Denov, 2004). In today’s society, sex offending has become an increasingly, concerning phenomenon that individuals must become more aware of. Although generally regarded as a male phenomenon, over time, female perpetrators have become equally important as male perpetrators. Due to the lack of public awareness, female sexual predators go unreported. As a result, society must become more aware of female sexual perpetrators, as many incidents of females assaulting both young men and women have gone unreported for some time.

    To initiate, the implementation of gender equality laws will help conclude unequal treatment towards women and create opportunities for women to refuse unsafe work and treatments.

    On the other hand, victims have experienced traumatic incidents and some of them remain unwell even after several years (the Guardian, 2013). Deep-rooted myths perpetuate stigma linked to victims, while the public fear sex offenders as well as offenders in other criminal cases. In this situation, the law should protect victims and encourage them to report to the police, and should not create any additional barriers to doing so. Meanwhile, it is essential for the government to carry out a great deal of constant publicity to alleviate or even remove bias against victims through the platform of media. When the public treat survivors of sexual offences as ordinary people and give them care and companionship, victims will not feel a deep sense of shame and embarrassment.

    Each society possesses distinctive culture that varies from each other, yet has commonalities, as well. Patriarchy long has been one of such common features, and is still so in many states. It is the male, especially fathers, rule, while the opposite gender is expected to be submissive (Sultana, 2010). Over time, the level of patriarchy has mitigated, especially following the women feminist movements, exclusively in the West, and the situation of gender equality has improved (Evelyn and Adedayo, 2014).
