Women Victims of Violence

Paper Summary:

This paper review eight feminist essays, which support the argument for the way different cultural influences continue to promote ideas of women as sexual objects. The author points out that physical, sexual, and social and economic violence against women is somehow acceptable. The paper relates that North America has not stopping commodifying female sexuality, any more than it has stopped dominating and sometimes oppressing women.

From the Paper:

"This paper discusses a range of articles that pertain to different aspects of women's commodification by men, usually as sex objects, and as this connects to male violence against women as an often accepted phenomenon. It is not that cultural mores have tolerated male violence against women so much as the fact that male violence against women occurs, at all, that makes these connections ominous. It should be a bizarre irony that love relationships so often involve male domination and violence against women. "
