Question:
Many scholars argue that power-based
violence against women is directly related to the construction of gender roles
in a society, nation, and/or culture.
Explain this statement. Be sure
to utilize an intersectional lens in your discussion and include the following topics
within your essay: sexual assault, rape, rape culture, and the racial sexual double
standard.
**Your essay must be very
SPECIFIC, and you must argue your points based upon material contained in the
readings, PowerPoints, and class discussions to illustrate your point. The essay should be a minimum of 3 pages (double-spaced with 12-point font and 1-inch margins)
in length. Students may exceed the minimum
length, however.
