dentities and the media: Feminism Online

1)Ched Evans, the footballer convicted of rape has faced various criticisms from fans and women's group who have argued that him returning to the sport should be denied. No one was more active than Jean Hatchet who has collected over 160.000 signatures to stop him from coming back to the sport. And she began the latest internet campaign to stop his possible signing by Oldham Athletic, which was backed by more than 21,000 people in less than 24 hours and appears to have helped persuade the League One side to put the brakes on offering him a long-term deal.

2) The initial incident that caused this was the conviction of Ched Evans as a rapist and many females who were offended by this rebelled by trying to stop him from returning to the sport.

3) In my opinion this was not a good enough cause and I believe that it has been exaggerated. He already had things to deal with (conviction.) I also believe that this caused could be argued was unasked for. There is a huge amount of men who are convicted of rape and most of them don't find it hard to resume with their lives.

This firstly began Caroline Criao Perez appearance on the news, the feminist won battles with the Bank of England to reinstate a woman on the back of English money.

3) In your opinion, is this an example of a valid campaign or something of a witchhunt against people who are not doing any serious harm?

I personally think that she has a fair point. I think women in England who are successful don’t have a chance to appear on English banknotes in honour to be remembered for their successful work.

The article focuses on the way females have the ability to speak about when they feel they are being threatened or abused. It mentions how women are too vulnerable to talk about something thats been effecting them in terms of reporting, due to this rape is under reported and under detected women find it hard to talk about sensitive topics like this.

What was the initial incident or situation that sparked this example?

In my opinion this is arguable and I can understand where they come from, the methods used could be perfected but the argument is nonetheless valid. I respect the cause and they are doing, although changes to improve it could be made, they do put through a valid point
