Stereotypes In Law Enforcement

Women in the military are also more likely to be tortured or raped (Herbert). Since most men are attracted to women this is the leading reasons women in the military are more likely to be raped than men . Enemies think that since women are weaker and less emotionally stable they would be more likely to break and give up information (Herbert). Having women in the military would weaken the fighting force and make the military less safe.

For example the word policemen can be now adjusted to women needs, so women who work as police officers could be called policewomen. That grammatical diversification and gender-denotation help avoid discrimination of one gender. On the other hand, McElhinny stated that female police officers cannot fully get through that still men-dominated environment because of biological reason: women are physically weaker than men. However, women still are able to find the space for themselves in male’s work environment and at the same time abolish the view that the workplace is hegemonic and attributed to one gender

Because of this, female officers face external and internal adversity. The result of this is a struggle to see gender equality in the United States police force. There have been many feats in the female struggle in law enforcement but the issue remains yet to be fully addressed. And although there have been many progressive changes in the institution and acceptance of women in the field, the reality is that it is still a male

As children grow up, gender roles are enforced upon them by different agents of socialization such as teachers, parents and other authority figures in the attempts to define an ideal women whom is easy to please and not assertive resulting girls to develop a lower self-esteem compared to boys (Robert Brym, 2018, p. 53). Which can make women in the workplace dominated by men more vulnerable to verbal or sexual harassment (Robert Brym, 2018, p. 174). Further supporting male superiority in policing encourages the rate of sexual harassment against women. A study published in the journal of occupational health psychology found about 64% of policewomen have experienced sexual harassment at least once in their career from their peers, the women reported most common types of harassments were offensive remarks and comments about their bodies or appearance (Stans de Haas, 2009, p. 7). A recent survey of 4000 police officers in Canada found the stress of work-life balance is more substantial on policewomen than it is on male police officers.

Women distract men because of the ‘sexual tension.’ women fear the men that threaten to turn them in for underage drinking, but it’s the men that should fear the women for turning them in for rape.(Moritz) Women are flamboyant about their bodies and men just can’t resist. Women are a distraction to men because men can’t control themselves. The men will get distracted from their duties which is why women shouldn’t be allowed in combat. Men shouldn’t have to choose between their duties or women because they shouldn’t have to make that choice, and by choosing inequality they don’t have to.

Due to their inability to pass the physical readiness test, women fighting in combat is more dangerous compared to men fighting in combat. Women fighting in combat is controversial because many people believe women are not fit for combat. I maintain women should not fight in combat because the safest way for females in particular to serve their country is by working in other fields in the military. However, the strongest counter-argument is equal

Because at the time women were the ones who fought for alcohol restraint. Because the roles of women were changing and they started getting more educated and independent, they wanted to have political equality. Women wanted to have their say in political matters such as elections and seats in the parliament, so it was no longer seen as a ‘Man's world’. This protest movement was also important to women living at the time because it was a way to stop discrimination between the genders.

Women’s rights and the way they live has changed greatly over the course of time. Back in the day, women did not have equal rights to men and they had to face many challenges in order to receive the jobs they wanted. Nowadays, women can get the same jobs as men and their power is much more appreciated. The 1930’s affected women in a positive way over time as they tried to work their way up in government positions, obtain more profitable jobs, and help provide for their families; but they still had a long ways to go getting equal rights to men.

She also focuses on the absence of ambition among females in the labor pool and why women in today 's culture are fearful of being ambitions. Factors that cause a so called "leadership ambition gap" are discussed along with why women feel devalued within a professional

The controversial idea of females being sex offenders is represented by the proportion of women in jail or accused is most likely disproportionate to reality. In the United Kingdom for example, the Lucy Faithfull Foundation estimates that up to 64,000 women are sex offenders, yet fewer than 2 percent of the people on the sex offenders registry are women (Townsend & Syal, 2009). Female sex offenders are often ignored and under reported due to gender roles that portray men who were assaulted or who believe they were assaulted as weak. Additionally low female offender percentage is due to police and other professionals not treating male rape victims as a serious concern. In addition, media portrayals of sexual assault and rape create an everyday

There are many things that our society can do to reduce women’s fear of men in public space. As earlier stated, women who had experienced violence at the hands of intimates were significantly more fearful than those women who have not experienced this. Elizabeth Stanko included in her journal, “To reduce women’s fear of crime we must reduce the violence that women experience in their personal and professional relationships, remove the environment cues to danger, and confront the daily incivilities that women face from harassment in public” (Stanko 56). This is the first step in the process, ensure safety in other areas of women’s lives. Another thing that could help women’s safety would be to acknowledge these problems more.

Women have been seen as less powerful and given less status in society that has traveled with them into prisons. Due to a low number of women in prisons; they have acquired the characteristic of being “less worthy.” Women have been placed in correctional systems that are designed for men, which has developed their needs as less valued. The war on drugs is dramatically increasing incarceration rates, which has allowed women to become more important and prominent.

Deborah said, “Sexual harassment was common in the beginning and, depending on the boss at the time, was often overlooked.” The rest of the women programmers at GRU said they did not experience it. Yet, even though there is only a limited percentage of women programmers at GRU getting harassed, it is still a big problem in the field of computer science that needs to change. Third, women are given less opportunities in the computer field.

The existing laws and regulations are not adequate to address the assault and exploitation of disabled women in Canada. Women with mental disabilities who have experienced sexual assault may not pursue legal action toward the perpetrator. This may be due to the widespread belief “that the woman will be unable to participate in or withstand a criminal investigation” (Benedet and Grant, 2014, p. 134). The inquiries and questionings involved in criminal investigations are often lengthy, intrusive matters for those involved, in addition to doubts of the victim 's claims. Next, women with mental disabilities or illnesses may be targeted due to the fact that they are less likely to accuse the assailant.

Sexual harassment in the workplace takes many forms, and could result in a system of assault that could perpetuate continually. In the Frontline Documentary Rape in the Fields (2013), the power dynamics of undocumented female field workers and their male co-workers or bosses creates a dynamic in which these women must consent to unwelcome behavior, and many must engage in regular intercourse with these men for fear of being deported along with their entire family. Thus, these men have a leverage and can blackmail these women into agreeing to engage in a sexual relationship with these men, crossing the line between consent and force. In one case, one of the male farm owners insisted that a female subordinate engage in intercourse with him, and threatened her with a gun. This is an
