Abstract

The present article examines teenage boys’ perceptions of the practice of sending unsolicited dick pics and gender dynamics among peers at two lower secondary schools in Sweden. Drawing on focus group interviews as well as individual and pair interviews with ninth-grade students (14–15 years) from a rural working-class area and an urban middle-class area. The study indicates that class habitus has a significant influence on the boys’ perceptions and practices. In the rural working-class school, the boys had a humorous attitude towards the practice of sending unsolicited dick pics and were not aware that unsolicited sexting could be experienced as sexual harassment. In the urban middle-class school, one the other hand, the boys clearly distanced themselves from and expressed their strong disapproval of unsolicited dick pics, mainly due to their fear of girls’ power to portray boys as sexual harassers.

截然不同的经历：关于两所学校的青少年男生对未经请求的鸡鸡照的看法和性别动态的两个案例研究

本文研究了瑞典两所初中的青少年男孩对发送未经请求的鸡巴照片和性别动态的看法。通过焦点小组访谈以及对来自农村工薪阶层地区和城市中产阶级地区的九年级学生(14-15岁)的个人和结对访谈。研究表明，班级习惯对男生的认知和行为有显著影响。在农村的工人阶级学校里，男孩们对发送不请自来的鸡鸡照片的做法抱着一种幽默的态度，不知道不请自来的性短信可能被视为性骚扰。另一方面，在城市中产阶级学校里，男孩们明确地与不请自来的鸡巴照片保持距离，并表达了强烈的反对，这主要是因为他们担心女孩有能力把男孩描绘成性骚扰者。

期刊介绍： Young publishes articles, reviews and scholarly comment which develop and qualify international youth research. The aim of the journal is to contribute to developing a truly interdisciplinary youth research field, where it is both possible to apply approaches of a single discipline and to integrate insights, perspectives and methods from different disciplines. Young addresses a broad scope of questions in the life situation of youth in the age of globalisation - questions that are related to increased mobility of people and commodities, hybridisation of culture and the sensitivity of young people to changes in the labour market, culture, urban and rural contexts, etc.
