so changes in how we do work adds a further layer of complexity in terms of
how power relations play play out in paid employment so for example job
security is now much a thing of the past people don't tend to have a job for life
and in cultures of austerity that might lend itself to power abuse alongside
this we've seen a rise in digital technologies which have enabled flexible
ways of working and what we've seen now is that there is an increased blurring
of professional and personal identities so it's less clear when people are on
and off the job this might make it more difficult for people to seek out or know
when to seek out legal address for sexual harassment these work changes are
occurring in highly sexualized cultural contexts
so although the 21st century has seen an increased range of new and empowered
positions for girls to take up it's also the case that being attractive and sexy
are expectations that are built in to some working environments so similarly
while social media can act as spaces for doing kind of more autonomous and
empowered meanings of girl and womanhood it's also the case that they can act as
sites of body surveillance so what we also see as an increased emphasis are
visual imperatives around being hot and sexy and this adds a layer of complexity
when young girls and women are trying to build their identities both on and
offline the 21st century living presents new challenges and changes for
understanding the conditions that give rise to sexual harassment but the
increases in gender equality also paved the way from new challenges to be made
and this I think can be seen in the ways in which sexual harassers have been held
to account in much of the reporting of cases this year and this contrasts with
how it was reported say for example in the 1990s where sexual harassment was
variously sexed up or understood as a blip in the dating process so when
high-profile cases for perpetuate the notion that sexual harassers and
naturally sexually predatory we might lose sight of how
femininity and masculinity become relevant to everyone when we're trying
to make sense of ourselves in 21st century life and importantly what we
need to make sure of is that we don't reduce the space where we can hear
stories that don't conform to typical patterns of sexual predators and most
often young female victims get more from the Open University
