The legitimacy of the term and identity “lesbian” has long been contested, but has come under renewed scrutiny, with some suggesting it is exclusionary and dated. Along with these suggestions is the implication of a generational divide. Supposedly, older women—unaware of contemporary queer discourses—are more likely use the term “lesbian,” whereas...
This paper extends Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) scholarship to focus on issues of sexual harassment and sexual violence. Despite a significant body of work on gender and CSR from a variety of feminist perspectives, long-standing evidence of sexual harassment and sexual violence in business, particularly in global value chains, and the rise...
This paper explores the place of gender in relation to labour and transition in regional development. A ‘gendered lens’ is applied to planning documents relating to the region of Gippsland, Australia. While previous research highlights the importance of accounting for gender in regional development, gendered analyses outside Europe are scarce. We a...
The notion of unacceptable work has formed, in part, as a counterweight to the push for decent or better forms of work. That is, naming and understanding the functioning of unacceptable work helps ‘promote respect for rights at work by eliminating egregious labour practices’. There are important insights around unacceptable work to be gained from f...
Bushfire is an increasing threat in Australia, with population movement and mobility, shifts in climate patterns and the unevenness in preventive measures across the country. It raises specific questions for populations living in localities as well as for governments and agencies tasked with the question of how to ensure the ongoing safety of the c...
Emergency management organizations often have military‐based histories and continue to maintain militaristic styles of operation. Similar to the military, these organizations tend to be male dominated and culturally masculinized. The militarization and masculinization of rural fire services in Australia are generally unrecognized but highly importa...
This paper provides an historical and cultural context, from a feminist perspective, of the Prepare, Stay and Defend or Leave Early (PSDLE) bushfire safety policy, colloquially known as ‘Stay or Go’, in Australia. We examine the historical, cultural, and political factors that have devalued and marginalised women's experience and knowledge of bushf...
In this article, we use feminist critical discourse analysis to examine online brothel reviews (148 reviews and 2,424 reply posts) of sex buyers in the context of debates surrounding harm minimization. Our findings show that sex buyers actively construct and normalize narratives of sexual violation and violence against women in licensed brothels th...
This paper considers the impact of gendered norms on decision-making for wildfire preparation and response at the household level. Focusing on Australia, it provides a theoretical thematic analysis of data acquired in 107 interviews with residents of nine different localities. It builds on existing research on gender and disaster, as well as on dec...
This article weighs arguments about individualised ethical consumption practices in the sex industry through an analysis of the narratives of men who buy sexual access to women in legal brothels in the state of Victoria, Australia. In order to consider claims of ethical consumption in the sex industry, a theoretical thematic analysis of 50 online b...
The mainstreaming of pornography, often referred to as pornographication, pornification, or porn-chic, has become a topic of considerable academic and popular interest. In the last 15 years, an expanding academic literature has documented and begun to analyze the increasing consumption and normalization of pornography as well as pornographic imager...
The term “community” has a long and contested lineage in social analysis and debate. This lineage, however, is not generally recognized in policy and public debates on community and bushfire in Australia. “Community” is thought to be central to bushfire preparedness in Australia, especially in rural areas, but what “community” actually means in thi...
This paper offers a critical review of the international literature on gender, disaster and rural masculinities. Empirical reference is made to bushfires in Australia, offering new evidence from the State of Victoria. Bushfires loom large in the Australian imagination and there is an increasing amount of research now being conducted in relation to...
The study of gender and associated questions about masculinity, femininity and inequality are important elements of social science research. While gender has often been a focus in disciplines such as sociology and anthropology, the social construction of gender is now analysed in areas ranging from criminology to international political economy.

... A different form of impunity presents itself in Grosser and Tyler's (2022) work, which includes mentions of race or coloniality within the context of sexual harassment and corporate social responsibility (CSR). In their discussion on radical feminist approaches to sexual harassment, the authors mention race and coloniality and cite critical legal studies scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw but do not substantively engage with the crucial insight that Crenshaw offers in terms of how the uniqueness of intersectional experience requires that laws and policies situate themselves in the position to recognise intersectional subjects and make them legible (Crenshaw, 1991). ...
... Their professional skills base deteriorates, making it more difficult to return to the workplace at salary rates commensurate with what they left, and the loss of income has implications for their retirement savings and financial independence. For regional economies, where gender is a principal organising factor and the embedded gendered power relations have real economic and social costs (Farhall et al., 2020), the implications of women's absence from the paid workforce are compounded. Limited availability of suitably skilled labour in regional locations remains an enduring challenge for regional employers (Adapa et al., 2021). ...
... Regarding the fire protection plan, any disagreement between household members increases the likelihood of a risky outcome for couples or families. In addition, any disagreement or the lack of preparation in this respect may delay or hamper any actions aimed at the effective response to fire disaster and may result in fatalities (Tyler & Fairbrother, 2018). ...
... Given that prostitutes are often segregated from the rest of society it's a hard population to gain access to. Different social discourses arise from prostitution, from moral and religious issues to women's rights, to the violence that is inherent to this activity, many definitions and ideas are shared, that are widely different from one another, with many scholars rejecting the notion of prostitution and preferring to use the term 'sex worker' (Tyler, 2020). This paper confronts the perspective that states prostitution as a form of violence against the idea that prostitution is a form of labor like any other under a capitalist economy. ...
... More recently, the number of women seeking to enlist has increased considerably owing to the excellent salaries, job stability and retirement benefits on offer. The Corps combines military service with firefighting, another extremely masculine occupation (Baigent, 2005;Ericson and Mellstrom, 2016;Perrott, 2019;Tyler et al., 2019). Moreover, unlike the military organizations discussed in the vast majority of the research we review later, it is located in the Global South. ...
... However, there are other facts that may contribute to poor planning for infants and young children. The male dominance of the emergency management sector may be a factor in a lack of understanding of the support that mothers and caregivers need in relation to their infants and young children [73,74]. Further, Save the Children proposed that planning for children may be lacking because planners assume that parents and caregivers will meet the needs of children and did not consider that parents and caregivers will need assistance in doing so [70]. ...
... While Choiniere et al. (2014) did not use feminist CDA, applying a feminist CDA analysis to the data might reveal more specifically about the dialectical nature of discourses that embed the everyday experiences of violence in nurses' lives. From my critical synthesis, violence is often a topic studied using a feminist CDA lens (see Alves & Cavalhieri, 2021;Jovanovski & Tyler, 2018). Therefore, exploring the specific discourses circulating in everyday work environments (using feminist CDA), alongside the larger social discourses and structural conditions such as structural violence (using FPE), could be a way to integrate two critical feminist methodologies in the same paper, which I argue is of interest for nursing scholars to consider. ...
... The articles selected for analysis were heterogenous in terms of the methodologies they employed (see Table 1). While there is no clear predominant approach, there are more works of a quantitative character (Bateman and Edwards 2002;Soetanto et al. 2017;Cvetković et al. 2018;Rohli et al. 2018;Augustine et al. 2019;Oliveira et al. 2020;Wei et al. 2020;Jayasekara et al. 2021;Khan et al. 2021;Lachlan et al. 2021) compared with those taking a qualitative approach (Cupples 2007;Hamilton and Halvorson 2007;Dhungel and Ojha 2012;Tyler and Fairbrother 2018;Hou and Wu 2020;Walker et al. 2020;De Silva 2021;Dema Moreno et al. 2022) or those employing a mixed methodology (Bradshaw 2001;Alam and Collins 2010;Silver and Andrey 2014;Whittaker et al. 2016;Reyes and Lu 2017;Kang et al. 2021;Oktari et al. 2021). ...
... Consumerist ideologies are also evident in online discussions between MPWS, in which they recount and review their sexfor-pay (SFP) experiences much as they would any other commercial transaction or purchase that is evaluated and graded by consumers online (Pettinger, 2011). In such forums MPWS often criticize the poor (sexual) services they have received from WPS (Tyler & Jovanovski, 2018), and sometimes collaborate and operate together as a "consumers" collective" seeking to change the conditions and the prices of the sexmarket (Lahav-Raz, 2019). ...
... However, evidence also shows that the presence of abuse, assault, and sexual exploitation in porn videos increases the risk of sexual coercion and harmful, gender-stereotypical attitudes [32,37,38]. Nowadays, pornographic culture has a tendency to transform into "pornographification of popular culture," and soft pornography is mixed with entertainment products [39]. It is urgent to help adolescents improve their information literacy and decision-making skills [40]. ...
