Female-perpetrated sexual violence research in Australia and elsewhere has been limited, part of a less common and arguably contentious field of criminology. Because of gendered social and cultural stereotypes, female sexual offending is often perceived as harmless or too rare to warrant attention. Utilizing Schippers’ pariah femininities, this paper presents a critical criminological exploration of social media users’ constructions of female sex offenders and their male victim-survivors. Examining 28 Facebook posts from 13 popular Australian newspapers, our findings identified social media users’ tendency to question offence severity and sexualize offenders based on appearance, revealing how offender legitimacy and conceptions of harm are shaped by gendered expectations of “pretty women” and “lucky blokes.” Conclusions suggest online discourse remains influenced by gendered stereotypes, though awareness of pariah femininities is growing, with further research needed worldwide to explore the impact of such social media attitudes and commentary on the incidence of and reactions to female sexual offending against men, including victim-survivors’ help-seeking behavior.

澳大利亚和其他地方对女性实施的性暴力的研究非常有限，这是犯罪学领域不太常见且可能存在争议的领域的一部分。由于性别社会和文化刻板印象，女性性犯罪通常被认为是无害的或太罕见而不值得关注。本文利用席普斯的贱民女性气质，对社交媒体用户对女性性犯罪者及其男性受害者幸存者的建构进行了批判性的犯罪学探索。通过检查澳大利亚 13 家热门报纸的 28 条 Facebook 帖子，我们的研究结果发现，社交媒体用户倾向于质疑犯罪严重性，并根据外表将犯罪者性别化，揭示了“漂亮女人”和“幸运女性”的性别期望如何塑造犯罪者的合法性和伤害观念。伙计们。”结论表明，尽管人们对贱民女性气质的认识不断增强，但网上言论仍然受到性别刻板印象的影响，需要在世界范围内开展进一步研究，探讨此类社交媒体态度和评论对女性对男性性犯罪（包括受害者）的发生率和反应的影响。幸存者寻求帮助的行为。
