A majority of the world’s population is female. Yet despite the fact in many cultures females have often been treated as though they were a minority group. They have been the subject of strong negative stereotypes, and they have faced over discrimination in many spheres of life.

In an excerpt from her book, Unprotected Texts, Jennifer Wright Kunst discusses the Bible’s contradicting views of sexual intimacy and desire. There is something so incredibly taboo when it comes to sex and religion. Often teenagers are instilled with the fear of God in an effort to abstain them from having sex. The responsibility then falls on the girls since boys apparently do not possess the wherewithal to control their sexual urges. To be honest, I find this notion rather appalling and downright

The two articles present very different perspectives on sex ethics in the Jewish tradition, one perspective is more traditional and the other one is influenced by the changes of the modern world.

The innocence of the flea and the ability to blame it for joining the two of them in the eyes of God and the church is the primary motive for this humorous narrative.

The unlikely romantic figure of the flea is to blame for them already being bounded together. The narrator tries to convince the lady that because

Anne Orthwood’s Bastard: Sex and Law in Early Virginia by John Ruston Pagan highlights the paradoxical nature of life in the colonial times and how it aided the creation of American law. The four cases that resulted from the fornication between Anne Orthwood and John Kendall gave present historians a vivid image of how English settlers modified English traditions and began to create customs of their own. Furthermore, it was able to reveal some of the cultural, economical and political values in the

James Chukwum Okoye is the author of chapter 5 of the book, From Every People Nation. He states that there are many African religions, however, in the modern context, “Christianity should be in creative interaction with traditional African religions.” 116. This appears to be an argument without any proof of what the claim is. In other words, I would argue saying Okoye does not provide any or necessary information for the readers to investigate further why and how the claim is true or valid. On a

England to have. Historian John Demos explains, “Throughout the seventeenth century, the Puritans in Plymouth Colony had a steady succession of trials and convictions for sexual offenses involving single persons. Fornication, in particular, was a familiar problem. The punishment for fornication was a fine of ten pounds or a public whipping – and applied equally to both parties,” (Sommer 2). Another crime that had an unfitting punishment was adultery. Its punishment was to wear a big scarlet “A” on

For ten years this woman must have twisted her waist and wangled her neck and sometimes go complete nude just to lure Abraham to bed. Especially when she knew sarai’s condition of childlessness, she knew that if she can give Abraham a child automatically that will make her the madam of the house.

laws that were created to separate individuals from race mixing. These laws limited citizens from marrying outside of their race, and the way of enforcing was jail time and exiling the couple from the state.

The author, Ngaire Thomas, was born into the church in the 1940s and left in the 1970s.

Ceara Cavalieri HIST107H Waddington Puritan Sexuality in the 17th Century The typical stereotype of a Puritan is widely described as religious extremists whom held strong beliefs against sexual pleasure in its entirety, causing them to be sexually oppressed. Although there have been instances of deviancy being punished for sexual acts, for the most part these acts received lighter sentencing than their laws were said to uphold.
