翌日には私のトークイベントも用意していただき、バックラッシュから反ジェンダー運動への流れの話をして来ました。
こちらでは学期最終週ということでみなさん大変お忙しいなか、地域研究やジェンダー研究の研究者を含む多くの方が集まって下さり、トーク後の質疑も活発で楽しかったです。終わった後もずっと並んで待って質問してくれる学生さんたちの熱心さも印象的でした。
ありがとうございました！

@onlinesexualharmssg @casmidaproject Myth vs Fact: Online Sexual HarmsPart 2 Next >
www.oshsg.com Myth: Since online sexual harms occur online, they are not considered sexual violence. Fact: Sexual violence is sexual violence, regardless of the medium through which is occurs (Ho et al, 2025). Next >
www.oshsg.com Myth: Online sexual harms are limited to the digital world e.g. having one's intimate content nonconsensually shared online. Fact: Such harms can shade into the physical world e.g. from online stalking to being sexually assaulted. Next >
Fact: Online sexual harms are not limited to the act, but endure across time and space. Features a QR code to read our 2025 publication. This can be accessed using the DOI linked in the main body of this post.
This #SexualAssaultAwarenessMonth, we ask: Are #OnlineSexualHarms considered a form of sexual violence?

Title page for Myth vs Fact: Online Sexual Harms
A purple square presents a myth: "Men are supposed to be tough. They cannot be victim-survivors of online sexual harms." A pink square presents a fact: "Whether macho or not, men can experience such harms."
A pink speech bubble presents a myth: "As a man, it is shameful to tell others you experienced online sexual harms." A purple speech bubble presents a fact: "It is okay to seek support as a male victim-survivor."
Fact: People of all genders can experience online sexual harms. A QR code links to our 2025 publication at this url: https://doi.org/10.1080/09589236.2025.2561138

It was fantastic to launch #EmergentGenders @dukepress.bsky.social in Osaka 🇯🇵
Many thanks to Phillip Hughes (Osaka University, Graduate School of Human Sciences) for organizing the symposium "Queer Mobilities and Markets in and around Japan” and hosting me alongside other wonderful scholars.
Purple background topped with cursive script that reads "CASMIDA comments on backlash to feminism." At the center of the image is an iPad displaying an article by South China Morning Post titled "Malaysia, Indonesia top global poll on 'obedient' wives" by Kolette Lim. There is a QR code linking to the article. The bottom of the image credits the post to @casmidaproject with a rightward-pointing arrow encouraging users to read the next image.
Purple text in a white oval at the top of the page asks, "How do men perceive gender equality?" The center of the image features a quote from the CASMIDA team bracketed in large purple quotation marks in a purple box. The quote reads: "Singapore's conservatism often stemmed from state-institutionalised masculine norms that tie male identity to service and stoicism, such as national service, leading to them viewing gender equality as a zero-sum game and a 'systemic betrayal', said Singaporean research team Campus Sexual Misconduct in a Digital Age."
Purple text in a white oval at the top of the page asks, "How do men perceive gender equality?" The center of the image features a quote from the CASMIDA team bracketed in large purple quotation marks in a purple-bordered box on a pink background. The quote reads: "The team said: Rather than challenging institutional logic, male grievance is displaced onto women, sustaining a zero-sum framework that legitimises gender-based violence."
Purple text in a white oval at the top of the page asks, "How do men perceive gender equality?" The center of the image features a quote from the CASMIDA team bracketed in large purple quotation marks in a purple box. The quote reads: "Women may also be viewed as threats to existing power structures when individuals feel uncertainty about their future and opportunities, according to CASMIDA. 'However, this perspective misunderstands rights as a zero-sum game, which it is not.'"
We comment on the backlash to feminism in Singapore in a recent #SouthChinaMorningPost article by Kolette Lim.
