We have come to know that there were way more male slaves at the time than female slaves. But based off what we read I want to know the core differences in the treatment between female slaves and male slaves. I want to know roots of systematic sexism that rooted from this time. I hope to research a lot of different topics within this core question. Including comparison of rate of rapes, double standards within one another and sexualization. I went to the DPLA website and searched “female slaves”. I had a lot of photos pop up and some research papers. I opened “Degradation, Humiliation perseverance: A study of female African American slaves  in comparison of female Holocaust victims, 2008, written by Cerise.C.Marshall.   This paper chose to specialize in this topic to add a female perspective  as the face of these tragedies mainly include the male experience. Many anecdotes were used to explain the themes of that time period. One thing that can be easily said is that women had a whole other perspective as slaves and holocaust victims, the types of torcher are opened to a lot of other things due to being sexualized.  Southern laws did not recognize rape of black women as a crime.  This paper seemed very keen on comparing two tragedies with stories rather than the focus on black female slavery.  So next I decided to do a google search, I searched up “female vs male slavery”, I landed an article on PBS.org called The slave experience, by Jennifer Hallam. This article speaks on how women slaves often stayed in bondage so they could stay in more touch with their children. But this often meant having to be in alliance of their master fulfilling their sexual needs on command. I got one of the biggest answers to my thesis. I wanted to find root causes for the sexualization of black women today by knowing how misogny worked for them back then. This text explains how black women were made out to be lustful beings. I am saying this is so they could tone down the idea of rape with “they wanted it or initiated it”.  I do believe in someway exploring the female perspective of slavery will be difficult as female voices at that time weren’t deemed important till recently. But through old documents and photos and articles, I am confident I can dig deep into my thesis.
