- Abstract
- Staggering prevalence figures reveal the presence of sexual harassment among Flemish youth. Shrugging this behaviour off facilitates a culture of normalisation. When looking for the origin of this normalisation culture, researchers have come across heteronormative gender roles that can be framed in the traditional heterosexual script. The aim of this research is to uncover the role that sexual scripts play in experiencing and interpreting physical sexual harassment. By conducting 14 semi-structured in-depth interviews, the sexual scripts and perceptions of physical sexual harassment among Flemish youngsters were questioned. Results showed that most of the adolescents had internalised a mixed script that contained both elements of the traditional script as well as more modern, egalitarian scripts. There are however still strong indicators for the presence of traditional courtship strategies and the sexual double standard. Adolescents and their environment who internalised a traditional script, were more likely to normalise physical sexual harassment than youngsters with mixed scripts. However, sexual harassment at parties seems to be universally normalised to the point at least half of the girls interviewed felt unsafe. Further research needs to be conducted on this phenomenon and the ways sexual scripts can be influenced to create a shift towards more egalitarian scripts.
