520 _aThe social construction of gender and sexuality is compounded by neoliberalist, individualistic and competitive notions of choice and empowerment. This study draws on small friendship group interviews with 106 self-selecting young people, aged 12–16, in three schools in Aotearoa New Zealand. Young women live their digital sexual lives in a context characterized by feelings of powerlessness. This sense of powerlessness was somewhat reduced through making connections. Responding to other women’s non-consensually shared images with horizontal hostility is one manifestation. Doing so allowed girls to understand what is sexually permissible, as well as maintaining their friendships through connection. Similar to creating and consensually sharing intimate images as a means of making sexual relationships, this process of othering victims to conserve friendships reproduces existing inequalities.
