Chapter 10 talked about gender violence, cyber stalking, rape and battery/physical abuse and much more. I found this chapter sort of disturbing. It's very straight forward and right to the point.
When it talked about gender violence it made me realize that it's getting worse and worse as time goes on because kids today are more rebellious and they really don't care. A lot of children are more spoiled now a days and they don't take pride in what they do therefore they really don't care.
Cyber stalking is pretty much the new and improved way to stalk a person. The internet is a dangerous place and many people do not realize this and they tend to post information such as their full name and address and phone number, which just initiates stalking. It's now a lot easier to do in our time period. And many people fake who they really are.
Cyber stalking goes in coordination with rape. This is because it is how predators and rapists get to their victims. Both are very serious topics and can get a person into a lot of trouble.
Both of these could also lead into battery and physical abuse. There is a list of reasons why women stay in abusive relationships and to me #4 stands out the most and it's that: "they worry about what other people think" and I think this is sort of stupid because they must be insecure about themselves, they shouldn't care what other people think. I guess I can't fully speak for this though because I have never been in an abusive relationship before and I guess I wouldn't really want anyone to know if I was either.
