The idea of sexual coercion revolves around unwanted sexual actions that occur after being pressured into physical and nonphysical methods. The action of sexual coercion and its effect can be traced from the experiences of women of the past, as well as traces of current contemporary relevance. Women's experiences such as Harriet Jacobs, an enslaved black woman, and Rachel Davis, an indentured white servant, encountered sexual enforcement from a similar figure of authority. In spite of similarities with sexual enforcement, women of color experience sexual coercion differently, emphasizing intersectionality continuously today. In relation to the sexual coercion encountered by both Harriet Jacobs and Rachel Davis, it was displayed in the courtroom's legal system. Block explained those differences in structures as "Rachel had an opportunity for institutional intervention that was unequivocally denied for Harriet. Enslaved women in early America did not have access to legal redress against white men who raped them," which clearly outlined the contrasts between status and race. The legal system established enslaved women to be neglected by the laws that protected white women in the area of sexual coercion, in which there was no place for negotiation or representation. This suggested that the act of sexual coercion and the categorization of the crime for rape were in part of intersectionality; social position and race. The correlation of intersectionality goes by Kimberle Crenshaw's creation of the term for the overlapping of social identities that can contribute to the discrimination and oppression of an individual. This is where intersectionality wars come into play where conservatives or others believe it to be a way of victimization and instead create racial hierarchies; presented a negative portrait. Though, in 1976, Crenshaw discussed the narrow view of the court of "discrimination was a prime example of the conceptual limitations of... single-issue analyses regarding how the law considers both racism and sexism"2 This signifies that the law that supposedly protects women, shifts away that black women are female and a person of color (not separating challenges). It connects to the past court legal system with Jacob's encounter with denied protection and justice, as well as leading up to recent connections. That lead up to recent connections lies in 2004, where Gwen Ifill helped the idea of missing white woman syndrome known to the public, where women of color do not receive the same coverage as white women would if they experienced threatening situations. The New York Times pointed out how it does not mean that white women are of less significance, but instead, all women should matter³. It would lead advocates and families of women of color to seek exposure because of the discouragement of police from aiding resources into the cases. The intersection of race being a confounding factor and a determinant in how coverage is assigned places future setbacks for women of color. Chanel Miller's, an Asian American, encounter with how her sexual assault was dealt with demonstrated an attempt in suppressing her voice and avoid coverage in the mass media. Miller gave a victim impact statement in 2015 about her experience of sexual assault. Her perpetrator, Brock Turner was an individual with privilege and social standing, in which it was her choice in identifying as Emily Doe, publicly, in September 2019. She recalled Turner's attorney's questions as "find loopholes in my story to invalidate me and my sister, in order to show that this sexual assault was a confusion. This essentially neglected her experience with sexual assault, where she was also labeled as the "unconscious intoxicated woman". Although her impact was unseen, it was internal, and had to carry it with her, which is why she made the decision to be anonymous; along with the reason for receiving invalidation. counter From those invalidations, it brings to light contemporary issues and perspectives on the MeToo movement. The perspective of skeptics of the MeToo movement called on women to "toughen up, be wiser about interactions with men, and not be so quick to adorn themselves with the mantle of victimhood". However, it is due to those criticisms that women become hesitant to share their experiences of worry that would be ridiculed, face blame for speaking out, or their perpetrators unpunished. Women and especially women of color have been neglected for their sexual assault by people who do not understand the history of how long it had been present in women's lives. Not only the history embedded, but the underlying terms that are associated with those issues also are not well known.
