Abstract
This paper examines the restrictive binary gender system in light of Virginia Woolf's novel, "Orlando," with insight from Kate Bornstein's "Gender Outlaw" and Leslie Feinberg's "Transgender Warriors". The paper shows that Virginia Woolf's character, Orlando, on becoming a woman, maintains the same personality and memories that she had as a man. Orlando's gender identity, then, is somewhere between man and woman, but she must choose to present herself as either a man or a woman when she interacts with society. The paper shows that Orlando, and countless less-visible individuals in the same situation, must tailor gender expression to the closest acceptable model in the binary gender system.
From the Paper
"In a culture that hinges so critically on clearly defined gender roles, it seems significant that Orlando was accepted back into her life and the English culture on her return. At her estate, which she left as a man years ago, "No one showed an instant's suspicion that Orlando was not the Orlando they had known." Even that evening after meeting Orlando as a woman, Mrs. Grimsditch, a housekeeper, mentioned that "for what with the towels wanting mending and the curtains... being moth-eaten round the fringes, it was time they had a Mistress among them." It is in this comment that the frame of mind of the Englishman and Englishwoman becomes clear: While Orlando may have been a man, that does not matter, so long as Orlando fully assumes her role as a woman. For her to be accepted back into English society, she must function as a woman, for she looks like one. If she were to look like a man, then she must function as one. Orlando wishes to be part of society (as she always has wished), but her nature is at odds with the way society now expects her to behave."

"Sexual Harassment and Sexual Revictimization
Background to the Study
Over the last two decades, research studies have documented significant rates of child sexual abuse among both female and male children. Estimates for female children under the age of 18 who have experienced at least one incident of abuse ranges from 1 in 4 to 1 in 2.5 among nonclinical samples (Kohn, 1987; Wyatt, 1985). Estimates for male children are approximately 1 in 8.
There are a number of effects that have been associated with childhood sexual abuse, including psychological, sexual, and interpersonal difficulties (Briere, 1992). One additional problem that has been associated with early abuse is sexual..."

Sex and Sexuality, 2005.
This paper explores the relationship between sexuality and the gender binary.

Abstract
This paper discusses how traditional assumptions about sexuality are rooted in the rigid concept of the gender binary. This gender binary generates and sustains an iniquitous power imbalance between the two genders. The paper explains how the gender binary, sexuality and power are so interwoven that it is hard to imagine one without the other - contrary to the general assumption that sexuality is assigned by biology. However, the paper notes that it is not a chicken-and-egg situation, for it is possible to ascertain which came first.

Abstract
The paper examines how the binary relationship between males and females has been constructed and also how that construction has specific and demonstrable effects on gender equity for ordinary people, specifically in the workplace. The paper discusses deconstruction, traditional feminism and binary construction of gender.
From the Paper
"The binary conception of gender is well understood by just about everyone, even if only on an unconscious and implicit level. Academics of varying disciplines routinely take the matter much farther than the general population, but nevertheless binary male/female is a well-known aspect of everyday life permeating throughout the all parts of life. The purpose of this brief essay is not only to examine how this binary relationship has been constructed (and hence understood by academics) but also how that construction has specific and demonstrable effects on gender equity for ordinary people, specifically in the workplace."

Abstract
This paper reviews several articles discussing female sexuality. It reviews articles on what female sexuality is, what is involved in the sexuality of females, what helps aide in feminine sexuality and what hinders a women's sexuality. The paper looks at some of the problems associated with women's sexuality and whether these are perceived, physical, or medical problems. Finally,it examine how women see their own sexuality.
From the Paper
"Before the advent of the ?sexual revolution? in the 1960s the subject of female sexuality was considered taboo in so called polite society. Discussion of sexuality by females was viewed as an aberration. Women were taught and told that the normal reaction of women towards sexual intercourse was that they generally did not feel any physical or emotional pleasure from it. Sex was a means to an end; by performing their wifely duty to please their mates women were subjugated to the role of baby maker. This severe repression of female sexuality and its total submission to reproductive functions determined the limits of knowledge for untold generations of women (Gomex 1995)."

From the Paper
"Sexuality is a term that means different things to different people. The same can be stated for sexuality in politics, religion, and social relations. This paper discusses the articles of "Sexuality" and "The Sexual Revolution." How is sexuality a political issue? How does sexuality affect the way people live? How has sexuality changed through the years? These questions are important in helping a person develop their own sexual identity and understand why a person believes the way he/she does about social politics or the social issues of sexuality. The authors show how sexuality is affected by both religion and politically. Sexuality has changed over the years in many different ways. "Throughout the course of U.S. history, the meaning of sexuality has been continuously reshaped by changing economic and social institutions". At one time the word "sex" would get the attention of people because sexuality was not discussed in public."

Table of Contents:
The Article
The Facts Used
Reflection
From the Paper
"The Internet provides the forum for one person to have several different sexual personas with different ages, genders, preferences and desires."
"This has held true through other readings I have done in the past. In fact, news shows are constantly broadcasting the fact that people use the internet to pretend to be something other than what they are. An extreme example is that show that sets people up with a decoy and they believe they are coming to meet a 12-year-old girl and the cameras are waiting when they arrive."
"Outside of such illegal and immoral behaviors articles have supported the idea that the Internet is an alluring sex arena because it allows participants to "try on" various personas and act out their sexual fantasies while remaining safely hidden behind invented names, genders and pictures."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the crucial topic of sexuality, specifically Christian sexuality and how religious and non-religious feminist scholars deal with this controversial area of debate. The latter part is a feminist commentary on how to challenge the sexual oppression and violence characteristic of the prevailing patriarchal structures that continually put women at a disadvantage. The final portion is a conclusion rendering these feminist revisionings as part and parcel of the changes found in the reformist Liberation Theology movement in the Christian Church.

Abstract
In this paper, the writer notes that in recent times, there has been a tremendous amount of discussion about Christianity and its approach to human sexuality. The writer points out that depending on the commentator, the Church's position on sexuality is empowering, negative, supportive, or neutral. In addition, the writer discusses that some suggest that it is impossible to describe one Christian view about sexuality because of the various positions that differing Christians have taken regarding the relationship between one's sexuality and one's spirituality. However, such an answer belies the fact that, until recently, Catholics, Orthodox Christians, and all of the mainstream Protestant denominations took a negative view of human sexuality except for the purposes of procreation. The writer concludes that one must assume that the Christian view of sexuality will continue to evolve, as science and society gain a greater understanding of human sexuality.
From the Paper
"It is important to recognize that there is not one version of Christianity. Orthodox Christians and Catholics have a similar approach to the church, and their religions are shaped and formed by much outside of Scripture. In fact, with Catholicism, given that the Pope is considered to be the voice of God, some extra-scriptural things are given more weight than the words in the actual scripture. This attitude has allowed for the development of a religion that expands upon, explains, and even contradicts, the teachings in the Bible. Protestantism, as the name implies, began as a reaction to the Catholic Church's deviations from scripture, and has been characterized by faithfulness to the literal interpretation of the Bible. The problem with the Protestant approach is that the Bible relays information about events, which has been perverted by people into an endorsement of those events and behaviors. In fact, Biblical literalism may have damaged the Church, especially in gender and race relations. Anti-Semitism, slavery, homophobia, and sexism have all been explained away and even justified by the use or misuse of Scripture."

Advertisements and Sexuality, 2002.
An argument about whether sexually explicit advertising causes sexual desire.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This is an introduction to the topic that sexuality in advertisement causes sexual desirability of a person. The null hypothesis is that this experiment using sexual advertisement will not produce desirability. The paper shows how sexuality is a problem in the United States and examines whether the advertisements that portray sexuality may lead to sexual violence crimes. The writer asks that if this is true, then is it ethical to use ?sexual? advertisements?
From the Paper
"Does sexuality cause desire for sex? What is the difference between looking at sexual advertisements and regular advertisements without sexuality? Is there a difference? The class will show 15 sexual advertisements and 15 non-sexual advertisements. Will there be a difference? Many believe that the media has played a role in the increase of young people having sex early and with more partners. Is this true? Movies, television, music, and magazines are filled with sexual messages to the young person. Even at an early childhood age, children want to dress sexually. Teens rate the media as a second source of information about sex. Schools are the first source in giving information about sex. Does ?sexual? advertisement lead to sexual crimes and aggression? Is it ethical to use sexually appealing advertisements if it can lead to violence in the home or other crimes? Does research show that advertisements bring the desire for sexuality? "

Abstract
Foucault's basic thesis was that sexuality has been historically constructed by "sexologists" who have attempted to make sexuality their own privileged center of knowledge. Foucault's views were connected to the issue of sexuality being the site of power in the sense that it brought to light that sexuality in general was defined by certain forces. The interest of this paper is how these forces have shaped sexual identity in the context of sexual inequality. Thus, while Foucault concentrated on how society historically tried to define the "abnormality" in sexuality, this paper's interest in the connected issue of how these forces simultaneously worked to disempower women for the sake of exploitation.

Human Sexuality, 2008.
Explores human sexuality from the standpoint of the social learning theory.
1,800 words (approx. 7.2 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 57.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the social learning approach suggests that human sexuality should be examined more from a cognitive than a biological perspective. Even though sexuality is a complex issue, the author points out that this theory indicates that individuals are entirely in charge of their decisions and roles with regard to sexuality. The paper concludes that this multi-disciplinary approach opens new ways of exploring human behavior and sexual impulses and for treating problems associated with human sexuality.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Analysis of Human Sexuality from the Social Learning Approach
Support for Social Learning Theory
Analysis of Article and Theory
From the Paper
"The hypothesis and case for social learning theory presented by Dyrne & Hogben is backed by scientific theory and the works of early researchers that examined social learning theory with regard to human behavior in general. However, the authors do fail to explore social learning theory with regard to actual cultures and patterns of human sexual behavior.
"However, this gap in research is actually filled by other researchers that have explored the social learning perspective."

Abstract
The following paper analyzes the process of adding binary numbers by making reference to an addition algorithm as an example of this process. Background information to binaries is included.
From the paper:
?The binary number system was based on the decimal system, but uses only two digits, 1 and 0, instead of the 10 digits used by the decimal system. The system was developed for computer systems because they are more economical and precise when writing code. All digital computers use binary as their primary code. Each binary digit represents either "on" or "off" to the computer.?
