post 2] Meet thursday 19th November at 12noon.

We need to meet to get started with the presentation work.

We have decided that it is best if we do the group presentation on Misogyny and sexual violence against women. This topic interests me the most and I think Jack the Ripper set the notion of the famous serial killer for others such as Peter Sutcliff who was named the Yorkshire Ripper, because he killed Prostitutes as well. There is a great deal to say about this topic and I think we will have a successful presentation. I'm hoping to involve the audience by asking them questions, the more the audience is involved I think the better.http://http://www.mincava.umn.edu/documents/arpornography/arpornography.html

This source argues that Critics of pornography do not argue that pornography is ever the sole direct agent in sexual violence. Instead, the discussion should be about the ways in which pornography might be implicated in sexual violence in this culture. This is at the heart of this debate, culture can play a huge part in how we percieve morality and what is right and what is wrong. We live in a free society where it is culturally acceptable to indulge in pornography and in one night stands. This is where some men get confused, in some popular cultural texts and films, the woman is seen to be saying 'NO' but her no means 'YES'. This is a real cause for concern because in a rape situation a woman could be saying 'NO' as a complete stop it now, however the man could assume that she is simply playing hard to get. There have to be clearer boundries and that way the confusion can come to an end.

We understand that pornography alone doesn't make men do it, but that pornography is part of a world in which men do it, and therefore the production, content, and use of pornography are important to understand in the quest to eliminate sexual violence.
