Focusing on how rape, sexual assault, and harassment relate to
underrepresentation of women in public authority, this book
provides an insightful exploration of the policy context that
impedes women's advancement to positions of power. The election of
Donald Trump precipitated one of the largest outpourings of
political protest on a single day in U.S. history with the 2017
March for Women. The emboldened #MeToo and #TimesUp movements
reacted not only to the historical injustice of sexual offenses
perpetrated upon women, but women's associated underrepresentation
in positions of power and public authority. Women, Power, and Rape
Culture examines the principal events, actors, and paradigms in the
politics of rape, sexual assault, and harassment since Trump's
election. Unlike other studies, it connects these traumatic events
to women's underrepresentation in the public sphere. Chapters
consider the power of presidential speech, judges, and Congress to
create structural barriers to women's representation as well as the
stultifying effects of weak college and university responses to
sexual violence. Disparities in women's representation in positions
of public authority are considered in light of the disproportionate
burden imposed on women by a culture that discounts the prevalence
of rape and harassment and by the policies that inadequately
address them, allowing them to perpetuate. Explains how U.S.
politics and public policy are intimately connected to rape,
assault, and sexual harassment Describes how political rhetoric in
social media can contribute to women's continuing relative silence
and underrepresentation in the public sphere Examines the influence
of judicial decisions shaped by justices who themselves have been
credibly accused of sexual assault Highlights the congressional
context where women are underrepresented in the most powerful
positions, overrepresented in support roles, and systematically
subjected to sexual harassment and misconduct that has been
inadequately acknowledged or addressed Considers the importance of
the campus context in setting the stage for women's
underrepresentation by perpetuating unjust outcomes in pervasive
cases of campus sexual assault and harassment
