In recent years, worldwide proliferation of the #MeToo movement has brought the issue of sexual violence against women and girls to the forefront of public consciousness. Increased awareness has exposed complexities associated with so-called 'grey areas' of sexualised violence, where gendered and heteronormative consent scripts blur the lines between consent and coercion. Of concern in the present study is how these complexities contribute to a socio-cultural climate that blames women for the violence perpetrated against them. This analysis examines 7 women’s views surrounding the normative boundaries of consent, and subsequent victim-blaming of women. Two focus group interviews were thematically analysed through a feminist social constructionist framework, resulting in the construction of two interconnected themes: The Gatekeepers of Sexual Activity and The Unwritten Rules of Consent. Findings provide nuanced understandings of specific ‘rules’ and roles that govern women’s behaviour in the ‘grey areas’. These findings support the notion that for many women, negotiating consent continues to be a constrained process, governed by gendered ideology and harmful constructions of blame.
