The violence of rape threats particularly appears in a culture that sees rape as the worst fate possible for women and punitive action apt for transgressions. Sharon Marcus uses the term “rape script” which suggests that “social structures inscribe on men’s and women’s embodied selves and psyches the misogynist inequalities which enable rape to occur”. She also writes that “A rapist chooses his target because he recognizes her to be a woman, but a rapist also strives to imprint the gender identity of “feminine victim” on his target. A rape act thus imposes as well as presupposes misogynist inequalities; rape is not only scripted—it also scripts”. So to answer your question, no the factor of clothing and her physicality is independent of the social and cultural factors that determine how vulnerable to rape she is.

The sad reality here is that it is the abusive lead that gets all kind of fame. Some of the perfect examples include books written by authors like Rina Kent, Adeline, Sloane Howell, Alex Wolf, Sav R.

The sad reality here is that it is the abusive lead that gets all kind of fame. Some of the perfect examples include books written by authors like Rina Kent, Adeline, Sloane Howell, Alex Wolf, Sav R. Miller, and Penelope Douglas.The male lead characters promoted in these books tend to be more misogynistic and patronising than anything else.The fine line between realistic and overly melodramatic representations of young adults is blurred, and there is a danger of perpetuating stereotypes. These books have presented non-consent as the new norm. Rape and sexual abuse are glorified in the plotlines of these books here. The more misogynist, the more dominant, and the more abusive the MMC ( male main character ) is, the more attractive the character is to the FMC(Female Main Character).What is scary is that these kinds of tropes are primarily promoted and sponsored by commercial entities such as Amazon, Instagram, Kindle, and other social media platforms that are operating within a capitalist framework.These kinds of books are equivalent to literature porn. This literature porn which is available exclusively online consists of explicit sexual content. The widespread availability due to easy accessibility is an issue which is to be concerned. Unrealistic expectations leading to distorted perceptions of sexuality lead to a lot of problems in the immediate future. Similarly, the objectification of women is another complementary feature that is available alongside alpha hero tropes. This objectification of women reinforces harmful gender stereotypes and contributes to unequal power dynamics which leads to negatively impacting women’s self-esteem and mental well-being. Some studies suggest a correlation between exposure to violent pornography and an increased likelihood of engaging in sexual violence. All of this can have detrimental effects on the psychological and emotional well-being of adolescents and young adult audiences.The aftermath of such genred books is multifaceted, as they contribute to the creation of unrealistic expectations and perpetuate disillusioned gender aspects and differences. These books result in the creation of a new fanbase for sexual subculture. Moreover, they often present problematic depictions of sex education, offering unrealistic answers to real case issues. Additionally, these books can reinforce the white man’s savior complex and perpetuate stereotypes, further complicating the portrayal of gender dynamics and societal expectations.

The educational curricula have to be rewritten. It has been plagued by misandry and gender bias for a very long time. There have always been silenced gaps and subtle poses regarding women (be it their lives or contributions). What has to be done is that the history should be rewritten. Incorporating women’s historical and contemporary contributions would be the first and foremost step to begin with. One of the crucial points to be noticed here is how the question of domestic work is constantly devalued. When it comes to the science field, there are factoids about women who made significant discoveries possible, like the women who wrote the code for black holes, that are frequently overlooked and underrepresented. Their achievements should be documented and analyzed in detail. Regarding art or literature, women’s literature should be included, like more autobiographies, memoirs, etc. More personal narratives of women should be included to counter official narratives( that are quite often patriarchal). At school levels, there should be more gender sensitivity workshops curated by women. This should be adapted to different school grades. Theories like “misandry”, “patriarchy”, and “mansplaining” should be taught to all the students. However, at the end of the day, the truth is that, in theory, they all sound nice but, in reality, are culturally challenging to disseminate. Regardless, they might be good things to include.
