Document Summary

Davis and stasz, women: the sexualization of deviance . The women movement changed many lives in major ways. It helped women especially in many different aspects of their lives. In the early sixties college graduates were treated differently due to their gender. Women and men with the same education had different jobs. Men were looked at as dominant and held to a higher standard then woman. Women with the same education as men were only given jobs assisting these men. Before the 1960s, which was the rise of the new feminism act women had no right to anything and were practically missing from studies such as sociology. When it came to crime and crime control women were left out but when it came to studies of sexual deviance women were the primary suspects. Some of the feminist scholars even pointed out that these studies treat women as the society dose, taken for granted, ignored and stereotyped.
