See moreEveryday Coercion explores men's routine use of sexual coercion toward women in 'everyday' social and dating interactions, and how such sexual coercion has been normalised within a landscape of heteronormativity, rape culture, and binarised gender roles.
A groundswell of activism over the past decade has directed attention to the epidemic of sexual violence around the world. Women are seeking to make sense of why they are so commonly subject to sexism, misogyny, and sexual violence, and why they and their behaviour are often socially interrogated, instead of those causing the harm. With unapologetic curiosity, Wilson shines a light onto this contradiction by unpacking the attitudes, beliefs, and behaviours we've been encouraged to see as 'normal'.
Drawing on participant insights about coercion, masculinity, sex, and consent, Everyday Coercion unpacks contemporary themes like unacknowledged rape, victim blame, and performative naivety. Bringing together womenโs stories of sexual coercion, and men's insights around having enacted coercion, Wilson has a unique vantage point from which to expose and de-normalise sexual coercion.
