Document Summary
The first thing that came to my head was promiscuity. There is a stigmatism that exists with a person who has had multiple partners throughout their life regardless if the relationship was monogamous or not. This example is a lot like yours nicole, where social stigmas really play in. On page 109 the topic of gender norms, process whereby social rules and expectations operate differently between men and women, is introduced. Women may feel that they have different social norms that they need to follow that differ from mens. Although the stigmatism of promiscuity is more prevalent with women over men it is still common among both genders. Being an auxiliary police officer i have a lot of experience with this first hand. This is very common among women who are victims of crimes and may be too afraid of being judged or believe that they are the reason they became a victim.
