Paragraph 6 (Write by Oct.

15)
"Could the ready availability of sex provided by dating apps actually be making men respect
women less?" (Sales).

o Do dating apps promote misogyny, or do they merely reflect misogyny in the

culture? Do the advantages of mobile dating outweigh its disadvantages for
women? Why or why not? Do the advantages of mobile dating outweigh its
disadvantages for men? Why?
o To keep your paragraph focused, focus on the effects of mobile dating on either
women or men.

Agree with Sales.

General misogyny research that reflects misogyny in culture
not just dating apps. This shows how dating apps merely
reflect misogyny in culture.

A recent documentary film, the Oscar-nominated The Invisible War, tells the catastrophic
story of sexual assault in the American military. A.O. Scott of The New York Times summarizes
what the film uncovered:

The Defense Department estimates that 22,800 violent sex crimes were committed in the
military last year alone, and the filmmakers calculate that 1 in 5 women in military service has
been the victim of sexual assault. The Invisible War presents other numbers, mostly from the
militarys own records, that make the picture of pervasive abuse even more alarming. Many
crimes are never reported this is true of rape in civilian life as well as in the military but
among those that are, only a tiny fraction are dealt with in any meaningful way. A culture of
impunity has flourished, and the film suggests that the military has mostly responded with
pathetic attempts at prevention (through posters and public service announcements) and
bureaucratic rituals of self-protection.

Misogyny in rap music refers to lyrics, videos or other aspects of rap music that support, glorify,
justify, or normalize the objectification, exploitation, or victimization of women.[1][2] It can range
from innuendoes to stereotypical characterizations and defamations.[2]
Scholars have proposed various explanations for the presence of misogyny in rap music. Some
have argued that r
ap artists use misogynistic lyrics and portrayals of women as a way to assert their masculinity[2] or to
demonstrate their authenticity as rappers.[3][4] Others have suggested that rap music is a product of
its environment, reflecting mainstream attitudes toward women,[5][6][7] and that rap artists
have internalized negative stereotypes about women.[2] Still other academics have stressed
economic considerations, arguing that rappers use misogyny to achieve commercial success.[2]

Paragraph 7 (Write by Oct. 26)

Gladwell believes that social media "make[] it easier for activists to express themselves,
and harder for that expression to have any impact" (414).
Do you agree or disagree with Gladwell's assessment of the effectiveness of using social
media for social activism? Why or why not?

Disagree with Gladwell!
