NEW PUBLICATION Very happy to share that my article on the Mazan/Pelicot case has been published in @flsjournal.bsky.social Read it open access here: doi.org/10.1007/s106... It is a very personal article, and I owe a lot to the colleagues & friends who helped me find my voice on this topic.

Screenshot of the article webpage. Abstract: This article offers a feminist socio-legal analysis of the Mazan case—the 2024 trial of 51 men for the rape of Gisèle Pelicot in France—and the 2025 consent law reform it inspired. Combining feminist legal theory, critical legal analysis, and situated reflection, it examines how patriarchal societies and legal systems convert gendered violence into narratives of protection and progress. Drawing on Iris Marion Young’s analysis of the logic of masculinist protection, the article shows how law, politics, and public discourse surrounding the case reproduced the patriarchal bargain that casts men and the state as protectors while shielding them from accountability. Through analysis of the myth of the “good man”, judicial responses to sexual violence, hierarchies of victims, and the structural affinities between patriarchal and security logics, the article argues that the Mazan case offered only the illusion of remedy, confirming the patriarchal system it appeared to challenge.

I had the pleasure of reviewing Alison Phipps’ book. As we grapple with various forms of state violence, Phipps shows us how acts of enclosure & exploitation link the dynamics of racial capitalism to sexual violence. A vital text for dialogue & action against domination. See here: shorturl.at/nNm60

As we grapple with differentiated forms of racialised and gendered state violence, Phipps illuminates how acts of enclosure, extraction, expropriation, and exploitation link the dynamics of racial capitalism to sexual violence. This book provides a searingly rich, politically grounded analysis of colonialism, social reproduction, enslavement, transnational labour practices, genocide, femicide, and technofeudalism to demonstrate how sexual violence is not simply an outcome of, but is central to, racial capitalism. Sexual Violence in Racial Capitalism is an important read for scholars, activists, and communities keen to better understand instutionalised violence and intersecting systems of power as we work towards challenging them.

The effective conclusion of the ET is that trans people have to use third spaces. I think based on very poor legal analysis and uncritical adoption of "gender critical" talking points. But as I say, not binding, and all the relevant issues hopefully to be decided shortly by the High Court.
