Sex, Rape And Shame, Katharine K. Baker Feb 1999

Sex, Rape And Shame, Katharine K. Baker

All Faculty Scholarship

This article explores how shame sanctions may be able to change the social meaning and decrease the prevalence of date rape. Arguing that men's tendency to date rape is fostered by social norms that treat sex as an accomplishment and, importantly, an accomplishment that enhances a man's masculinity status, the article suggests that one way to curb date rape is to curb the extent to which it is associated with masculine behavior.
