Project: Rape and Rape Culture1) What are the main ideas and/or issues of the article with respect to the chosen topic?Welsh et al. (2006) used research focus group data from Canadian women to discuss the issue of sexual harassment among Canadian women and how white Canadian women, who are mostly heterosexual, define sexual harassment and rape (objective) versus how women of color define their experience of rape and sexual harassment in the workplace (subjective). According to Welsh et al. (2006), he explained how race, gender, and citizenship are important factors in how women of color, with or without citizenship rights, define sexual harassment and rape. Sometimes as a race and sometimes see it as an experience that they will go through at some point in their lives and most of the time they didn't show up because of their legal statuses, fear, pity, guilt, love, ignorance, lack of education. He also explained how they don't pay attention to the intertwined aspect of race and citizenship and how the legal system has not paid as much attention to the few reported cases of rape by women of color due to their sexual history. On the other hand, the white Canadian defines her experience of rape and harassment not as race but as what the author failed to discuss. The white Canadian woman knows when the boundary is crossed and, most of the time, does not consider expressing her legal rights.2) Based on reading your textbook, what makes these ideas and/or problems so important to understand?
