Abstract

Most research on sexual abuse examines the role of men in the perpetration of abuse against women and children. Few studies have explored victims’ accounts of Female-perpetrated Sexual Abuse (FSA), and even fewer have focused on male FSA victims. However, the limited research available demonstrates that there are particular conditions that make it possible for men to identify as FSA victims. This is the first study of its kind that explores the possibilities for such self-identification by investigating how male victims negotiate masculinity and victimhood in the context of FSA in the Global South. As part of a larger study on FSA, we conducted semi-structured interviews with five culturally diverse South African men who self-identified as experiencing sexual abuse as children or adolescents by women, and analysed the data using a critical discourse analysis. We demonstrate precisely how contemporary constructions of gender and sexuality both produce and constrain possibilities for men who report childhood or adolescent FSA to identify as victims. These constructions are anchored in accounts that emphasise hierarchies of vulnerability, body betrayal, emasculation, preconceptions of ‘normal’ sexuality, the eroticisation of the female offender and ‘triumphant’ variants of masculinity. Such accounts present just how male victimhood becomes possible to ‘detect’ and challenge contemporary constructions of sexual violence, in turn suggesting new possibilities for understanding the conditions under which normative gender roles implicated in violence are sustained or disrupted.

南非女性性虐待中男性受害者的形成

摘要

大多数关于性虐待的研究都考察了男性在虐待妇女和儿童方面的作用。很少有研究探讨受害者对女性性虐待 (FSA) 的描述,而关注男性 FSA 受害者的研究就更少了。然而,现有的有限研究表明,存在特定条件使男性有可能被认定为 FSA 受害者。这是同类研究中的第一项,通过调查男性受害者如何在全球南方的 FSA 背景下协商男性气质和受害者身份,探索这种自我认同的可能性。作为一项关于 FSA 的更大规模研究的一部分,我们对五名不同文化的南非男性进行了半结构化访谈,这些男性自认为在儿童或青少年时期遭受过女性的性虐待,并使用批判性话语分析来分析数据。我们准确地展示了当代性别和性的建构如何产生和限制报告童年或青少年 FSA 的男性被认定为受害者的可能性。这些结构以强调脆弱性等级、身体背叛、去势、对“正常”性行为的先入为主的观念、女性罪犯的色情和男性气质的“胜利”变体的描述为基础。这些描述展示了男性受害者如何成为可能“发现”和挑战当代性暴力的建构,反过来又为理解暴力中的规范性别角色维持或破坏的条件提供了新的可能性。我们准确地展示了当代性别和性的建构如何产生和限制报告童年或青少年 FSA 的男性被认定为受害者的可能性。这些结构以强调脆弱性等级、身体背叛、去势、对“正常”性行为的先入为主的观念、女性罪犯的色情和男性气质的“胜利”变体的描述为基础。这些描述展示了男性受害者如何成为可能“发现”和挑战当代性暴力的建构,反过来又为理解暴力中的规范性别角色得以维持或破坏的条件提供了新的可能性。我们准确地展示了当代性别和性的建构如何产生和限制报告童年或青少年 FSA 的男性被认定为受害者的可能性。这些结构以强调脆弱性等级、身体背叛、去势、对“正常”性行为的先入为主的观念、女性罪犯的色情和男性气质的“胜利”变体的描述为基础。这些描述展示了男性受害者如何成为可能“发现”和挑战当代性暴力的建构,反过来又为理解暴力中的规范性别角色维持或破坏的条件提供了新的可能性。这些结构以强调脆弱性等级、身体背叛、去势、对“正常”性行为的先入为主的观念、女性罪犯的色情和男性气质的“胜利”变体的描述为基础。这些描述展示了男性受害者如何成为可能“发现”和挑战当代性暴力的建构,反过来又为理解暴力中的规范性别角色维持或破坏的条件提供了新的可能性。这些结构以强调脆弱性等级、身体背叛、去势、对“正常”性行为的先入为主的观念、女性罪犯的色情和男性气质的“胜利”变体的描述为基础。这些描述展示了男性受害者如何成为可能“发现”和挑战当代性暴力的建构,反过来又为理解暴力中的规范性别角色维持或破坏的条件提供了新的可能性。
