- 91: Hiding Behind A Computer
- ... major concern that comes to mind is “cyber-rape.” It is apparent what kind of effect this has on people when Amy Bruckman, a doctoral student in the MIT Media Laboratory, states, “Unwanted attention and sexual advances create an uncomfortable atmosphere for women in MUDs, just as they do in real life” (Bruckman, 101). A MUD is defined as a multi-user dungeon or a multi-user Domain. It is a ... of what the character looks like. It is possible for a character to be male or female, regardless of the gender of the player” (100). For instance, several players have observed that MUDs complaints of harassment are routinely dismissed with the logic that this is a fantasy space so anything goes. This displays how easy it is to perform cyber-rape on an individual. An interesting point is made by Jodi ... acceptable-after all, this is a space in which one is supposed to “experiment”-but the motives for crossing must not involve an intent to “deceive.” Women who cross as men in order to avoid harassment or dismissal are just being reasonable” (http://www.echonyc.com/~women/ Issue17/art-obrien.html). In another argument, one could say an individual provokes the cause of sexual harassment on the Internet. Our romantic ...
- 92: Gays: A Struggle for Acceptance
- ... prostitute. What these movies do not show is a new community, within the military, of homosexuals who until now lived socially isolated lives because they were either unsure of what they were or of their sexual preferences or just plain scared of what people would think if they found out their secret. In the military, these people found other gay men who were in the same predicament. They weren't alone ... not to have gay or lesbians in the armed forces anymore. They would be discharged without any benefitsa even though they hadn't done anything wrong. This caused gay veterans to unite and fight against sexual discrimination and some were later the founders of organized gay rights movements. Exposed by the war, gays and lesbians decided to continue living their lives in the open, although many still preferred living quietly in ... only confined to the major U.S. cities but were established in many small towns as well. The general public and media started noticing this growth and with the common knowing of homosexuals being perverted sexual psychopaths, child molesters, sex offenders and sex degenerates, a fear spread for the safety of women and children who could be snatched by these dangerous people. This fear initiated the anti-gay policies and ...

- ... clear that HIV must be present for the development of AIDS. Modes of Transmission HIV is spread through the exchange of body fluids, primarily semen, blood, and blood products.

The virus is present in the sexual secretions of infected men and women and gains access to the bloodstream of the uninfected person by way of small abrasions that may occur as a consequence of sexual intercourse. HIV is also spread by any sharing of needles or syringes that results in direct exposure to the blood of an infected individual. This method of exposure occurs most commonly among people abusing ...
- 94: Internet Pornography: Freedom of Press or Dangerous Influence?
- Internet Pornography: Freedom of Press or Dangerous Influence? The topic of pornography is controversial many times because of the various definitions which each have different contexts. Is it nudity, sexual intercourse, art, or all of these? Is it magazines, videos, or pictures? For the purposes of this paper, pornography will be defined as any material that depicts erotic behavior and is intended to cause sexual excitement. With all of the arguments presented in this paper, it seems only a vague definition of this type can be applicable to all views on the subject. Pornography on the Internet has brought about ... have us believe. With a total of 14,000 Usernet discussion groups (a place where messages are posted about specific topics), only 200 of them are sexually related.

Akdeniz also makes the point that "[t]he Internet is a complex, anarchich, and multi-national environment where old concepts of regulation...may not be easily ...
- 95: All You Need To Know About AIDS
- ... life and death issue. To have the AIDS disease is at present a senten,ce of slow but inevitable death. I've already lost one friend to AIDS. I may soon lose others. My own sexual behavior and that of many of my friends has been profoundly altered by it. In my part of the country, one man in 10 may already be carrying the AIDS virus. While the figures may ... a dise.ase of gay males in this country. This was a result of the fact that gay males in this culture in the days before AIDS had an average of 200 to 400 new sexual contacts per year. This figure was much higher than common practice among heterosexual (straight) men or women. In addition, it turned out that rectal sex was a particularly effective way to transmit the disease, and ... Kaposi's Sarcoma, for example). This *disease* is inevitably fatal. Death occurs often after many weeks or months of expensive and painful hospital care. Most folks with the disease can transmit it to others by sexual contact or other exposure of an uninfected person's blood to the blood or semen of the infected person. There is also a condition referred to as ARC ("Aids Related Complex"). In this situation, ...
- 96: Lord Of The Dead
- ... to advance her cause, as she has with right-wing groups in her antipornography crusade. MacKinnon’s expressed sympathy for Clarence Thomas in the Hill-Thomas case is rather stunning, given her larger views on sexual harassment, and Benhabib places considerable weight on these comments as representing some larger dilemma faced by postmodern feminists in that dispute; but I do not see that MacKinnon’s comments typify a position taken by postmodern ... in any way that we please, and a theory of constructed identities needs an account of how this process occurs.5 It is revealing, to me, that such theoretical positions often take the construction of sexual identity as their model. Benhabib rightly notes the fascinating shift in some postmodern literatures, dividing issues of sex away from reproduction and toward issues of sexuality. This may be partly explained by the influence ...
- 97: Katha Pollitt's Argument About Media Being Biased Against Liberals and Allan Levite's Argument That Media Is Biased Against Conservatives
- ... incredibly stupid elementary school kids. Her first example is the case dealing with the sixth grader who received death threats does not even clearly state what kind of hate was involved. It could have been sexual harassment, or it could have been because she carried Spam around on her forehead. She only names two cases as her examples. So in her magical "evil people bash feminism land" her argument is just as ... coolest band ever. Now I laugh at my obvious immaturity, because I do not believe that anymore. Kids have no idea what the hell they are doing they're "dumb" and "cute." (And getting more sexual activity than me and those bastards can't even multiply) Even Pollitt justifies my argument of the kid does not know what the hell he is doing. "De' Andre's whole family was famous, ...

(Dragan 193) "Although the media portrays ecstasy as an aphrodisiac, sexual arousal is not an effect from MDMA (E), the drugs does not give a man an erection, opposite to that sometimes it causes penis shrinkage. Because of this, women at raves can snuggle in a very comftable way. Even if the hugging come from love it does not come from sexual desire" (Ecstasy Reconsidered by Nicolas Saunders, ch.4) " There is more possibility that a person engages in casual sex after a night at a bar for a few drinks than at a night of dancing on E" (Ecstasy Reconsidered by Nicholas Saunders, ch.4) This also stops sexual crimes and assaults like rape and sexual harassment in people on E, because they have no sexual interest.

- 99: PORONO IN THE MEDIA
- ... made evident that pornography is not “evil” and does not cause undesirable social behaviour by displaying nude women in sexually explicit circumezces. Thus, it is important to indicate that women are not treated only as sexual objects through the media. This is done in an attempt to quash any traces of “evil” in pornography. Subsequently, a second point, that some may consider to be completely bizarre, can be addressed; that pornography ... amount of sexually explicit material that is published in magazines and that appears on television and in the cinemas. A common argument against pornography is that the media portrays women as being nothing more than sexual playthings and objects to satisfy male sexual desires. As before, the media once again, is not to be held responsible for creating this image; these views are products of society. It would be downright absurd to assume that women in this ...
