devience with women

In our society women are perceived a lot differently than men. I argue that deviant behavior among women would be more extreme than that of men. For males deviant behavior runs the gamut, but women are held more accountable for the decisions that they make. The difference between the two is often seen when either of the two are having relations with the opposite sex. If a man has relations with various women on many accounts, he is respected by his fellow male friends. If a woman were to do the same thing, she is automatically considered a slut or a whore and is treated negatively by most of society. Deviant behavior for women comes in the form of their sex lives/relations with the other sex. This behavior that is considered deviant now for women has always been considered to be deviant. Throughout many different cultures the ideas of deviance between sexes is a major issue. In the Muslim culture women are not allowed to show certain parts of their body, so they wear long dresses and shawls that cover their faces leaving only their eyes visible. If a woman were to wear the wrong clothing, she is subject to death for not upholding the beliefs of the people. The deviant behavior of women can be seen in various ways as some use sex appeal to get certain advantages. Women who use their sex appeal in the corporate world to get raises or types of bonuses are taking advantage of the surrounding males.
