| dc.description.abstract | With this thesis, I aim present a non-exhaustive perception on sexual street harassment
from men’s point of view. Using the theory of rape culture, sexism, gendered power
relations, male domination in the public space, hegemonic masculinity and
homosociality I lay out groundwork to fathom how sexual street harassment persists. In
order to gain a deeper understanding of male perception on the matter, I have used
both quantitative – a survey – and qualitative – interviews – as research methods.
Because my research is ground within feminist methodology, I have decided to work
with feminist standpoint theory. Further, I present an analysis of the information
gathered from the interviews, cut into five separate sections, all linking back the theory
presented. Finally, in the conclusion, I answer my research question along with the
three sub-questions using the analysis of the interviews and reminisce on the theories. | |
