Raunch versus prude: contemporary sex blogs and erotic memoirs by women (2012, background): “…when the norms of beauty and femininity are so limiting; and fourth, ‘this shift entails [ . . . ] a move from an external male judging gaze to a self-policing narcissistic gaze’, which, for Gill, constitutes ‘a higher or deeper form of exploitation than objectification’ (Gill, 2003, p. 104).”
"Girls are addicted to likes so they post semi-naked selfies": Peer mediation, normativity and the construction of identity online (2015, background): “Feminist scholars emphasised the binding nature of specific (neoliberal) aesthetic models of femininity to which young women “choose to conform” because their very selfconfidence is grounded in their beauty and appearance (Gill, 2003; Stuart & Donaghue, 2012).”
Women's Intentions Regarding, and Acceptance of, Self-Sexualizing Behavior (2009, background): “Gill (2003) argues that sexual objectification is now more insidious because it is disguised as sexual subjectivity and may be interpreted as empowering.”
Postfeminist sexual agency: Young women’s negotiations of sexual consent (2012, background): “For other observers however, contemporary ‘raunch culture’ is merely repackaging old gender norms and sexual objectification as empowering (e.g. Gill, 2003, 2007, 2008b; Levy, 2005).”
