  • Both IBSH and IBSA stem from aggressive and predatory, homosocial masculinity practices and competitive, heterosexual peer hierarchies, with more harmful effects for girls.

    “Both stem from aggressive and predatory, homosocial masculinity practices (Hayes & Dragiewicz, 2018; Mandau, 2019) and competitive, heterosexual peer hierarchies (Ringrose & Harvey, 2015) with more harmful effects for girls.”

    From Young people's experiences of image-based sexual harassment and abuse in England and Canada: Toward a feminist framing of technologically facilitated sexual violence (2022) · cites this paper as Hayes & Dragiewicz, 2018

    The Aggrieved entitlement section links image-based sexual abuse to patriarchal male peer support and suggests that the same dynamics may apply to unsolicited dick pics. That supports a shared masculinity-related explanation, but the paper presents the extension as a possibility, not as an established origin of both practices. The competitive heterosexual peer-hierarchy phrase is attributed to a different citation in the citing sentence. (LLM, conf=0.86)

  • This justification is a form of naturalized masculine entitlement.

    “We also saw that some boys justified sharing images with each other as 'social ' and as 'fun ' rather than as causing harm, which Hayes and Dragiewicz (2018) suggest is a form of naturalized masculine ' entitlement ' .”

    From Young people's experiences of image-based sexual harassment and abuse in England and Canada: Toward a feminist framing of technologically facilitated sexual violence (2022) · cites this paper as Hayes and Dragiewicz, 2018

    The Entitlement section suggests that masculine entitlement may play a role in men sending unsolicited images of their own penises to women. The Conclusion also notes that some nonconsensual sexual behavior is regarded as normal or acceptable. The paper does not address boys sharing images with each other or their specific justification that it is ‘social’ or ‘fun’ rather than harmful; applying its framework to that behavior goes beyond what it says. (LLM, conf=0.86)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • Drawing methodology enabled girls to break through barriers of masculine sexual entitlement, repositioning dick pics as toxic, harassing, and a form of assault without explicit promptings.

    “We discussed how our drawing methodology enabled girls to break through some of the barriers of masculine “sexual entitlement,” (Hayes & Dragiewicz, 2018, p. 115) in image sharing practices, repositioning dick pics as toxic, harassing and even a form of assault; all without explicit promptings; showing young people have the tools for critical thinking when encouraged to explore and offer what they”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
