Introduction
Sexual consent is of the sensitive topics in terms of acceptance at social level. Most of the societies take biased approach, when it comes to females to have provided sexual consent of any degree. The consent of a woman about defining her sexual preferences, choice of sexual association with males as well as options to have multiple sexual opportunities are either limited or criticized. However, the legal frameworks about the same take different dimension to interpret sexual contacts and consents both. A woman can neither be forced, nor she can be put under extreme conditions against her will—though she might have provided prior permission to the sexual connection or contact—which might injure her physical or mental state. With the help of selected readings for the weak, I perceive this conceptual framework to re revised and implemented again with liberal approach provided by the law to the females.
Randall’s Approach about sexual contact and assault: A formal analysis
At first, Melanie Randall, in her article Sexual Assault Law, Credibility, and “Ideal Victims”: Consent, Resistance, and Victim Blaming provides extensive views over the law’s stance about the question of sexuality, sexual misconduct, assault against the will of woman and violent behavior and how it is defined by law. in her opinion, the extensive legal frameworks, in spite of their detailed provisions, do not fully address the question of survival of a sexually harassed female. However, the archetype of the ideal survivor of sexual harassment, which has been expanded much over the years in reaction to increased social and legal recognition of violence against women, also works to disqualify the reports of their experiences of sexual harassment by many complainants. The "ideal victim" theory also works to this degree to undermine the reputation of women who are seen to deviate too much from traditional conceptions of "authentic" victims and from what are perceived to be "rational" responses to victims. In sexual harassment proceedings, integrity tests remain utterly pivotal. Myths and assumptions about "ideal," "actual," or "genuine" victims of sexual harassment remain strongly affected by these perceptions of credibility.
What makes this observation relevant is the approach through which, the perception about the victim is structured. In most of the legal contexts, the definition of victim depends on the redress reported by her only i.e. the approach of Randall is to project the biases and prejudices with which, the conception of victim is seen at first place. However, she argues in favor of the Canadian legal frameworks which are to be in favor of eliminating these biases of sexual contacts and violence against woman.
Moreover, Randall especially showcases that it is important to note that a number of major milestones have been...
