Mccaughey, Martha, and Neal King. "Rape Education Videos: Presenting Mean Women Instead of Dangerous Men." Teaching Sociology 23.4 (1995): 374. JSTOR. Web. 27 January 2015.
This paper written by Mccaughey and King, are one example of the use of images to make people aware of Rape. One of the main points the team makes is that women are just a capable of rape and sexual assault as men are. As well as, that rape education that is normally taught just continues to create a male fantasy of the submissive female. They state "We argue that these "dangerous men" videos inadvertently perpetrate the very myths that support rape culture because they refuse to offer a fantasy of women's resistance." I will use this source not only to back up my argument of how women can be rapists, but also that media today is a huge example of how we live surrounded by rape culture.
Carolyn Gage, "The Women's Rape MVSVEM", Off Our Backs, 22.1, 1992: When will it end? (January 1992), 6-7, 9. JSTOR. Web. 27 January 2015.
This small facts article, written by Carolyn Gage, is written to share information about a women's rape museum and the history of women's rape. The paragraphs are divided in to sections, explaining different displays that would be found there. Gage shares lots of her opinions about rape throughout this article. It is clear that she feels very strongly on this matter and would want to get information out there for the public. I would use this source as a example of how little the average person knows and how many people are fighting for them to know more. As well as a database in itself when looking where she got her information. Mostly looking at statistics.
Gloria Cowan, Robin R. Campbell, "Rape Causal Attitudes among Adolescents", The Journal of Sex Research, 32.2 (1995): 145-153, JSTOR. Web. 27 January 2015.
This article is a great source of how rape is overlooked or ignored in today's society. Cowan says in her opening sentence "Rape and sexual violence are not rare experiences in the lives of young women; yet little is know about adolescents' beliefs about the causes of rape." She basically opens up her paper saying 'it happens all the time to young girls, but none of them know why'. I will use this artical to help back up one of my arguments in my paper. That rape should be more clearly talked about and people should understand why it is happening and that it is never their fault.
Bennett Capers, "Real Rape Too", California Law Review, 99. 5 (October 2011), 1259-1307, JSTOR. Web. 27 January 2015.
In this source the main topic is male to male rape in prisons and outside of prison. The paper talks about the completely unknowable frequency of prison rape, because of the men not wanting to step forward and admit that it happened to them. These men that don't come forward are afraid of being looked at as weak or homosexual or both. This stereotype revolves around any man who is sexually assaulted and I will use this source in my paper to prove that fact. Men should be able to step forward about their assault as much as women can.
