The normalisation of men’s sexual privilege needs to be tackled IOL_Lifestyle
Upskirting – taking a photo or filming underneath a skirt or dress without consent – has finally become a criminal offence in England and Wales . Yet despite this progress, a recent report conducted by British GQ reveals that one in 10 men don’t think upskirting is sexual harassment.
This is also enforced through the criminal justice system, which fails to hold men to account for rape – just 6% of reported cases resulted in a charge in 2017-2018. This shifts the focus to women’s failure to prevent men from raping them. Women’s bodies and sexual freedoms are weaponised against them through the use of rape myths and stereotypes which serve to authorise and sustain men’s sexual privilege at the expense of women’s.
There has been public outrage on social media and in the national press about the comments made by the judge. But there also appears to be some confusion about the statement, and whether there is a human right to have sex.The Human Rights Act and the European Convention on Human Rights contain a number of rights offering protection, and freedoms, to UK citizens.
