In antiquity, the slanted views regarding women and their rights to control not only lives but this sexuality perennially placed them at the mercy of men and facilitated repression of their autonomy while encouraging myriad atrocities to be committed against them. This comes from the traditional dehumanization of women who were viewed across many ex post facto cultures across the world like inferior being and even property. Throughout history, women have need relegate to the roles of pleasuring men, making children and taking care of domestic chores, they are often describe as mothers, wives and mistresses as opposed to the more masculine titles applied to men. One of the most widely revered documents is the bible and in it one cannot help to notice the objectification of women which has been used by many retrospective contemporary Christian societies to justify the second class citizen status imposed on women. Christians and non-Christians anywhere in the world would be scandalized if some of the edicts proposed in the bible were applied in a contemporary scenario, according to the book of. Deuteronomy, when a man commits the crime of rape against virgin, obligated to pay her father 50 Shekels and must marry her without the option of divorce (Wells, 47). Essentially, this implies that rape was only “punishable” by a slap on the wrist of the man while the woman would be expected to be married to the very antithesis of love and affection for the rest of her life! From this example, there is no doubt that the position which these laws put women in regard to rape was extremely vulnerable and debasing. In European cultures on the other hand, due to the stratification of society, the nobles and even when they protested the patriarchal justice system required proof of semen release to prosecute frequently raped women from the lower classes. This narrow definition of rape meant that rape was not rape until the man achieved a climax and there is probably no better archetype of the complacency in which the violation of women thrived.
