Michele Alexandre defines sexploitation as the perpetuation of
myths and stereotypical notions regarding men and women in order to
further an agenda of oppression and subordination in certain
spheres of society. The most popular means through which this
sexploitation is achieved is through a method Alexandre coins as
sexual profiling. Alexandre argues that sexual profiling ultimately
stifles the growth of our society by creating inefficient as well
as oppressive systems, and that its eradication can help increase
the productivity as well as the morale of society. Alexandre opens
the book by exploring in detail the various ways in which normative
views of gender are constructed and perpetuated through media and
societal norms. She then focuses on the ways in which recent legal
opinions and developments contribute to perpetuate these
restrictive and oppressive norms. Finally, Alexandre outlines a
plan to help eliminate the presence of these destructive norms and
attitudes from different sectors of society.Sexploitation from the
Newsroom to the Courtroom examines how sexual profiling represses,
oppresses, and hinders various aspects of life for both genders,
and explores the ways in which the law and the community can help
eradicate the practice of sexual profiling.
