My semester project focused on how sexual assault is the result of Patriarchy. This is the power men feel entitled to with the belief that it is what society has granted them. It makes them think they have a sense of authority over women and those that are below them. Artist works included are by Barbara Kruger, Yoko Ono, Monica Mayer and Ana Mendieta. Barbara Kruger's work "We don't need another hero" shows how men are seen as individuals with higher strength and that women should just remain as the admirers because they are "weak". Yoko Ono's "Cut Piece" allowed the audience to cut pieces of her clothing until leaving it all torn. It addresses the issue of women turned into sexual objects and aggression. As observed in the video those recorded near the end became sexually aggressive toward her compared to those from the beginning. 'El Tendedero" by Monica Mayer was a way to show the massiveness of sexual assault and treatment of women. The reponses in the notecards were hung in a clothesline as a way to show women's daily labor. Ana Medietas "Rape Scene" was inspired by a rape and murder of a nursing student by another done at the Univeristy of Iowa. As Michele Obama, said in her speech "we love our boys and raise our girls" because of that boys stay that way and don't no move on to become men. This doesn't not deal with the inequality of wage but the one society has between men and women. Nobody is entitled to anything from another individual, patriarchy enslaves one to give power to the other. It kills the humanity we have toward that person because they are seen as "something I control".
