Since women are seen sexually inncoent and passive and men were seen as lustful and had great desires this act was put into place. This act was titled "An Act to Make Further Provision for the Protection of Women, Girls, the Suppression of Brothels and Other Purposes," it was not only created to increase the age of consent from 13 to 16 years old. This also applied to women between the age of 16 and 18 years old under the care of their parents, or above 18 and if detained against her will. The age up was not large or reasonable but it was a step to allowing women to having a voice and being able to voice their comfort sexually. But what is also added to this law was to ban homosexual acts between men. The Eleventh Clause of the Criminal Law Amendments Act stated that, "Any male person who in public or private commits or is a party to the commission of or procures or attempts to procure the commission by any male person of any act of gross indecency with another male person shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and being convicted thereof shall be liable to be imprisoned for any term not exceeding two years with or without hard labor ." We see this act into play with some of the authors we have read since Oscur Wilde and Alan Turning and many other men were convicted and punished under this act.
