Abstract
This paper explores the gendered dynamics and impacts of online and offline sexual harassment based on fieldwork among young people in Denmark. The paper argues that harm related to sexual harassment relies on the embodied duality of agency and vulnerability as the foundation for humans' sense of dignity. This argument is developed first by exploring how unwanted ‘dick pics’ confront girls with a gendered vulnerability that impacts girls' sense of dignity. Second the paper shows that boys' solicitation of girls' ‘nudes’ is related to a gendered vulnerability for both girls and boys. Finally, unwanted sexual attention that moves between the online and the offline arena is enabled by gendered values, norms and meanings related to heterosexuality.
