Rape Is Everywhere... And Nowhere At The Same Time
(Maria Rodriguez)
2013 was a pretty explosive year for rape. From rape allegations being swept under the rug on
college campuses to sexual violence in
video games, a courageous group of students, activists, journalists and everyday folks have blown the lid so hard off this issue, it's never getting screwed on again. The stories we've heard this year have been rough: teenage girls raped at parties and
tormented with pictures of their assaults for months afterward, rapists given
book reports as punishments for their actions, high school students
expelled for "public lewdness" after reporting an assault. Unfortunately, these stories have been met with vitriol as much as they have been met with love and support, an experience I am not unfamiliar with, having published my own
account of rape in May. And we almost never talk about male victims of rape.
All of this boils down to one major problem: in a country that didn't define
marital rape (when someone forces their spouse to have sex with them against their will) as illegal until 1993, we are simply ill-equipped to understand what consensual sex, and therefore a denial of consent, actually is. To the point where the legitimacy of a rape is questioned because of what a woman was wearing, how flirtatious a person was or how much alcohol someone has consumed. To the point where we think it's normal that one gender has to be more cautious than another. To the point where young men are encouraged to touch young women on the dance floor without their explicit permission and yet expected not to repeat this same behavior with sex. The issue of rape deserves as much attention as the frequency with which it is happening. But there may be some setbacks, especially on the government side, because:
3. Only 18 Percent Of Congresspersons Are Women
My favorite justification for this is that women just aren’t interested in politics. Hmmm: could that be because women are socialized into deferring to male judgment? Because there’s such a huge lack of female political role models to start with? Because even when women do succeed in politics, the media still
viciously critiques them for characteristics having nothing to do with their political career, such as their appearance and their married life?
Ironically enough, after winning wars against Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S.
imposed gender quotas on the legislatures of both countries, but for whatever reason (maybe because of all the rapes we’re not talking about?), we’ve never see sex discrimination as a big enough issue here at home to ever try instituting such a quota within our own borders. Now, don’t get me wrong: quotas have their advantages and disadvantages and it would take a lot more discussion to conclude whether or not such a system is truly right for America. But the fascinating result of all this is that the two countries we repeatedly slam for their barbaric treatment of women, whose barbaric treatment of women we used as justification for military campaigns which
inadvertently killed tens of thousands more women, actually have a higher representation of women in national government than we do.
In any case, perhaps this low representation of women can help explain why...
4. Motherhood Causes Poverty
(Shelly Tersolo)
In her 2001 book “The Price of Motherhood,” Ann Crittenden identified motherhood as the number one risk for poverty in old age. Today, the
poverty ratefor women (14.5 percent) is 3.3 percentage points more than the poverty rate for men (11.2 percent). The rate among single mothers is over 40 percent. Women across the country are, inevitably, taking a much larger share of the burdens of raising a child.
But where is the support for mothers in this country? Reproductive rights are consistently targeted—and aggressively limited, depending on which state you live in—giving women less choice of when they even become mothers. The U.S. is one of only a handful of countries without a
paid maternity leave policy, meaning most women don’t get a single paid day off from work after giving birth to a child. Benefits for fathers aren’t any better, meaning there’s very little incentive for a father to take time off of work to help care for the child. And if a woman needs more than 12 weeks to recover from childbirth, there’s no guarantee she’ll get her job back, setting up a new mother for potential unemployment. Mothers are the
primary breadwinner in 40 percent of U.S. families, and yet women nationally are making 23 percent less money than men. Even when you control for life choices, women make just
91 cents for every dollar earned by their male counterparts.
No wonder mothers are poor, a problem that isn't helped by the fact that:
