Again I decided to conduct the same experiment of google image search results to depict the role that men and women play in Asian society. I did not specify whether this was directed at India, China, Japan, Korea etc, but I assume China plays a large representation due to their population. What I found was the image search results showed a very similar representation to what the searches for American Men and Women yielded. It seems that the role imposed on the men and women via the media in Asian society is very much alike tot he western values of women looking like models and men being overly muscular. They too seem to strive to the same standards imposed on them by the media that the western people are subjected to. This defines the role of Men and Women as less of a career oriented person and more so one of narcissism and low self esteem. The men and women in this society face the same troubles of those in western society.

The following is an image representing the most popular results found in google image searches for African Men and African Women.The reason I decided to investigate into this is because when searching for images of American Men and Women, it yields mostly male and female models/actresses. But, when the same is done for men and women of African decent, a large number of results appear depicting the women in a state of nurture and home making, where the men are depicted as hunters and strong. This shows the continual role of women as carers for the children and men as the 'bread winners'. This is not an exact representation of African life, but it gives a small insight into the role each gender plays in their society. This shows the continual lack in progression towards equality, whether it be through a deficit of education or a dedication to tradition, as has been discussed earlier in the course.

Below is a video link from the first side of the argument, from CNN. The explain why there should not be a wage gap in sports, focusing on soccer. The video posted at the bottom is the other side of the argument, arguing that this issue is an economical not equality issue, and the men bring more people to the stadium, therefore earn higher pay. The gender wage gap is very large in sports, and it is apparent on a global scale. In the Olympics, Soccer, and Motorsports males earn exponentially more then women on a global scale. The video goes into great detail in how this is occurring in all sports on a global scale. It is a very interesting video because gender equality is something that most of the world is striving towards, yet this wage gap is not necessarily a hit against gender equality.

The following shows a higher percentage of men in higher paying jobs in western society. This article is very interesting as it shows that in western society, the reason their is an overall average pay gap between men and women, is because there are a higher percentage of men in jobs that pay higher overall. This skews the data as the higher percentage o men in jobs that on average pay more, makes the wage gap seem much bigger than it is. This is mainly apparent in western society where men can earn a substantial amount more in sports, engineering and doctor jobs.

One reason for the pay differential, which increases with age, is how men and women sort into occupations and industries with varying earnings potential.

Among the country's highest-paying jobs, women are substantially underrepresented nearly across the board, according to a new report by LinkedIn. Even when comparing the sexes with the same job title at the same company and using similar education and experience, the gap persists. The networking site analyzed the gender breakdown among the top 100 highest paying jobs in America based on its own salary data.

In the most lucrative professions, women make up less than 30 percent in each role. Orthopaedic surgeon, for example, was the highest-paying job overall and has nearly 13 men to every woman in the field.

Although more women are pursuing STEM jobs, "You see a stark drop-off in the number of women every step of the way, in terms of advancement," said Paul Ko, LinkedIn's head of economic graph analytics. "The pipeline has virtually evaporated."

Of chief technology officers, a job that pays a median base salary of $190,000, only 5 percent were women.

The gender gap was smaller, or closed, when it came to jobs in human resources, marketing and health care. There were just three top-paying positions - all in human resources - where the number of women exceeded the number of men.

The following chart shows Denmark's wage gap. There is also an article posted that goes into detail about a protest that the women have organized to bring awareness to this issue.The image clearly shows the wage gap difference between males and females, and how females lose much more after pregnancy then men. This shows the role women play in society in Denmark. Women are still viewed in a way that their primary role is caring for the children. The women in their society are still being payed much less then men, and they are forced into a role of homemakers is some instances.

Men and Women's Role in Statistics Globally - Video #3

This video is very interesting as it discusses the population statistics of men vs women in many different parts of the world. I find it very interesting that in nations that have been known to oppress women have an extremely low ratio of women to men (@1:12 ). I also find it interesting that only one country has a higher ratio of women to men in government, showing the women on a global scale play less of a role in politics then men do. This shows the role of women in western society as to be one of more power in relation to the women of middle-eastern societies where they are out numbered in government and as civilians as well. I found the suicide statistics very interesting as men overall had a higher rate. This could show men's role as a decision maker in society, and the stress and pressure of some of these roles are clearly taking a toll as shown in the statistics. Or this could show men's dedication to careers as supposed to family, and the impact it has had on their life. The end of the video closes with the biological fact that women and men are not very different after all. I find this to be the most important fact here as if these aforementioned societies would base their morals off this fact, a lot of the female oppression would not be present.

I chose the following photo as a representation of the  acceptance of sexual abuse in western society. Many men play a role of great power in western society, and arguably the most powerful person in the country is a man as well. The US has clearly shown their acceptance of man's tango with sexual abuse as they elected Donald Trump to presidency after hearing his brush sexual abuse from years past. It was exposed to the whole nation that Trump was someone who did not value the female sex as an equal, and yet the nation accepted his abuse and elected him anyway. Even now there have been reports of his infidelity, yet there has not been an impeachment or a revolt of any kind. This proves their acceptance for man to play a role of abuse over women.

Men play a very interesting role in this area. It is quite obvious that rape against women massively outweighs the occurrences of rape against men, but it is still important to look at this topic, especially in reference to western society.
The following article brings up many first hand accounts of men being raped by women. Two particular comments caught my attention as they reference the fact that the incidents were reported yet not taken seriously. This shows the social stigma that a 'man cant be raped by a woman', and shows that developments need to be made for both genders in this area.

Being raped by a woman isn't cool and you aren't "lucky".

When I was 21 I was raped by the girl who was my girlfriend at the time. ... The worst day of my life was when she decided to tie me up. She told me all the dirty things she was going to do to me while she kissed my neck and whispered into my ear as she tied my arms and legs down to the bed. Everything she said she was going to do was normal to me (suck me, ride me) so I let her tie me up. After I was tied up she asked me to try to break free and offered a reward to me if I could. She said she would be back and if I wasn't free then I would miss out on the reward.

She came back and stood at the door and stared at me. She then told me how I wasn't going to be rewarded because I couldn't get out. She then told me she was going to punish me. Long story short, she ended up sodomizing me with her vibrator. I must have said no a thousand times. I was crying and begging her to stop which in hindsight probably made it worse. I was anally fucked, then she tried to ride me but I couldn't even get up. I was so broken emotionally and in pain physically. She then got very mad that I couldn't get it up which was never a problem. I was beaten for a while. Then the vibrator again while being hit. It lasted about 6 or 7 hours but felt like it was a dozen. For a while she just left it in me while she went in the other room to watch TV.

It was mid day when she tied me up and had been dark for a few hours after it was over. I ended up falling asleep tied up. I think I just passed out more from exhaustion of trying to break free/get her to stop. I woke up and I was untied in bed by myself. ...

I ended up calling the police, which was the best decision I had ever made. The second I called them she calmed down and started to behave. They got there pretty quickly. Of course once they were there she played the damsel in distress and claimed that I was beating her up and choking her, etc. I told the cop everything that happened, which was embarrassing but worth it. They arrested her and she was jailed. ... I had the option to press charges but ended up choosing not to after consulting with my lawyer.

Being raped has ruined my life for the time being.

I'm a man. I was raped as a child. She was my cousin. About 15 or so, while I was four. I don't remember a lot, either because I was so small or because I mentally blocked it, but I remember that she performed oral sex on me. Made me do the same to her. Stuck various things up my butt.

My mom called the police when I told her a few weeks later. They didn't even investigate. They said since it was a girl doing it to a guy, it was just "experimentation." Said it was okay.

A recent report by International Business Times discussed the outcome of a recent trial regarding  Marital Rape in  India.
This incident shows the role women play in an eastern society. Some areas like Gujarat, India still value the perspective of a man, and his 'need to procreate' over the well-being of their women. Women are placed in a role that has no voice, and their opinion is not valued in many matters. This attitude still runs rampant in many eastern societies, and they are lacking the basic laws that are present in western society, giving women a voice, and a right to a fair trial.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
On Monday, a high court in Gujarat, India, found a doctor, accused of raping his wife, not guilty because there exist no laws against marital rape in the Indian Penal Code.

The judge presiding over the case ordered the partial quashing of the FIR filed against the doctor at Idar in Sabarkantha district, Gujarat, by the latter's wife, who accused the former of subjecting her to mental and physical torture and forcing her to have oral sex.

"The husband cannot be prosecuted for the offence of rape punishable under Section 376 of the IPC at the instance of his wife as the marital rape is not covered under Section 375 of IPC... which provides that sexual intercourse or sexual acts by a man with his own wife, the wife not being under 18 years of age, is not rape," Justice JB Pardiwala observed, Hindustan Times reported.

According to India Law Journal, "Marital Rape refers to unwanted intercourse by a man with his wife obtained by force, threat of force, or physical violence, or when she is unable to give consent. Marital rape could be by the use of force only, a battering rape or a sadistic/obsessive rape."

While Indian Penal Code Section 375, which lists the definitions of rape and was amended to include more details in 2013, now covers oral sex, sodomy and penetration by foreign objects, it makes the exception for married women who are above the legal age.

Marital rape laws are stricter worldwide as the act is considered illegal in all American states, Australian states and territories, New Zealand, Canada, Israel, France, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Soviet Union, Poland, Czechoslovakia, etc.

However, the international scenario was not in favor of married women in the past. Sir Mathew Hale, Chief Justice in England, said in a statement during the 1600s: "The husband cannot be guilty of a rape committed by himself upon his lawful wife, for by their mutual matrimonial consent and contract, the wife hath given herself in kind unto the husband, whom she cannot retract."

It was only after women activists started a revolution in America in the 1970s for the removal of marital rape exemption clause that the government started recognizing the importance of making and enforcing rape laws for married women.

Even as the Gujarat high court gave its verdict, the judge expressed regret on the fact that marital rape is not yet criminalized in India.

"No one is even willing to discuss to reform the criminalization of marital rape ... A law that does not give married and unmarried women an equal protection creates conditions that lead to the marital rape," Pardiwala said in his order.

He added: "Making marital rape illegal or an offense will remove the destructive attitudes that promote the marital rape. The total statutory abolition of the marital rape is the first necessary step in teaching societies that dehumanized treatment of women will not be tolerated and that the marital rape is not a husband's privilege, but rather a violent act and an injustice that must be criminalized."

Instead, the judge directed the police to book the doctor under Sections 354 (sexual harassment) and 498 (A) (husband and relative subjecting a woman to cruelty).

This particular video is very important in exposing the role men and women in a position of power can play. The focus in on people in power in western society, most notably in Hollywood. Recently there has been a massive veil lifted revealing the sexual abuse in the music and film industry. The biggest case of this being the lawsuit against Harvey Weinstein. It was revealed that Weinstein would use his position of power to coax up and coming stars to perform unwanted sexual acts.  This has gone on for decades and decades in the film industry, and was accepted as almost a rite of passage in the industry. For many years the idea of a "casting couch" has been accepted and it has taken until now to expose the brutal position some men have put women in. It also has been exposed that certain women in a position of power like Mariah Carrey were sexual abusing some men underneath them. This shows the role both men and women play when they are in a position of power.
