Sexual harassment discrimination

by Dominus

Let’s imagine a scenario where a man is at his workplace. He walks by a female coworker and slaps her on the butt. That is an immediate case for his dismissal and prosecution as a sexual offender in a sexual harassment case. I find that to be a clear-cut case of a deviant forcing his odd behavior on an unsuspecting and unwilling victim. We have the right to not be touched in a sexual way by someone who we don’t feel attracted to. Now, if the same scenario plays, this time with a woman slapping the butt of a man, do the same rules apply? I don’t think so. Women constantly get away with that kind of behavior, kicking the principle of equality of the sexes in the shin.      This behavior exhibited by people who have no concept of personal space is a deviant behavior. I’m not referring to friends who play pranks on each other and have a history together that warrants this kind of action. I’m talking about coworkers who have a working relationship. At some point, the woman decides to do…

Women will take nice guys for fools

 
I bet a lot of people will cringe at the sight of the title of this article and I’ll probably get my ass handed to me online. Even so, I want to pursue this idea and develop it into an argumentative essay/story told from experience type of deal. I am aware of how bad this sounds and even so, I still want to write this article. That should make the reader aware of a quiet desperation that the author goes through and I do not believe that I am alone in this. Women like the idea of having equal rights to men while despising the reality of the responsibilities that come with it. I like women. They are the main reason that I get out of bed in the morning. I have a lot of women in my life and each is like a beautiful song that I have added to my most intimate playlist. Women are awesome and I am so glad that I have the opportunity to be with them. Having said all that, there are also female behavioral patterns that I have noticed on more than one occasion and left unchecked, these patterns…

Trump: Fear For Young Men in America Today

For anyone unaware of the current political situation here in America, President Trump has backed to the hilt his nominee for the supreme court, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, despite all of the news circulating about Kavanaugh’s sordid past not just with women, but with alcohol abuse among other concerns. Now, the one thing I will agree with Trump is that it should be innocent until proven guilty instead of guilty until proven innocent; however, I figure this is how men have treated women for how many hundreds of years so it’s about time they get a taste of how the other half lives.   In this piece, I will be reflecting upon my experiences and thoughts during the hearings and news coverage (for context, my news coverage rader is from BBC World News, NPR politics podcasts, CNN, MSNBC, and a bit of FOX just to round out all of the potential biases so I can see a story from as many perspectives as possible). The specific source I will be sighting below is the Time Magazine article entitled: “'A…

What Is The Real Future of Latina Women - Change, Power, or Problems?

  By 2060, over 30 percent of the American population will be Latino. That is almost double what it stands at right now. But if you look at where it can be decades from now, what you might want to look at is creating a movement for one half of the community that is not getting enough attention – Latina women.    Shaping the New Minority The reality of the U.S. becoming a “minority majority” country grows closer as more local communities dramatically shift in demographics. Even outside the big cities of Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and Miami, it is the increase of Latinos in small towns that reshape economies, leadership roles, and culture. There soon might be more places like Wilder, Idaho which has an all-Latino city council and a Latina woman as mayor.    States that have had seen their demographics change are finally seeing it change. In Virginia, two Latina women changed the landscape of their House of Representatives after winning over incumbents. One of them, Peruvian-American Elizabeth…

On the Subject of Empowerment

  I recall the first time a guy thought he had some unspoken right to my body, as he tried to force me into bed with him. I was able to get out of the situation before it escalated, but that moment haunted me for years. I was angry with him, but my anger did not come close to the shame I felt. I blamed myself, though the situation was entirely out of my control. I did not tell anyone about it for almost eight years   Instead, I let the shadows of shame creep in and set up residence. I began to have anxiety attacks and found myself struggling with an eating disorder and body shame. Why did I feel as if this thing that had been done to me was my fault?   It would take years for me to confidently answer this question; to find empowerment in my story and in other women’s stories.    On the Subject of Empowerment I assume, by now, everyone is aware of the controversial performance by Jennifer Lopez and Shakira at the Super Bowl halftime show. I was not watching the night of the game, but a quick…
