Abstract [en]

In this study I intend to analyze and examine the testimonies from three different trade specific #metoo appeals related to three of the largest unions for blue-collar workers. I want to examine how the testimonies describe the perpetrator and what work relationship he has to the survivor. I also want to analyze how different power structures, i.e. gender or class, affect the fact that women and non-binary persons are exposed to gender-based act of oppression and abuse. The analysis uses central concepts from Connells (1999) theory about masculinity and Skeggs interpretation of the theoretical background for her study in Att bli respektabel (2000). The findings of the research of the testimonies shows that historically rooted social mechanisms such as the patriarchal power structure reproduces the woman as lower in the hierarchy than a man, as well as the fact that the working-class women is considered less than a middle-class woman. This enables the perpetrator to subject these women to more gender-based acts of oppression and abuse than other groups of women higher in the hierarchy.
