31. Nightlife Lolitas: Grooming girls in nightlife
I recently did a vulnerabilities in nightlife training where one particular case study stood out for me about how young girls are pressured into unconsensual acts for the pleasure of men - often too young to realise they are being groomed and then consequently taken advantage of, harassed, or raped.
Within 2 days of that training I also watched a documentary on Netflix about a “relationship” between a highschool girl and her teacher. And I use “relationship” because it’s clear this girl was groomed and then for most of her life believed she had been in a consensual relationship with this person, when in reality, this wasn’t what had happened at all.
This made me think about how this happens in nightlife and the term nightlife lolitas came to mind.
On this episode I’m just openly pondering the behaviour of men oversexualising and grooming underage and young girls in nightlife for their own pleasure, and pop culture normalising a lolita image. Offering my general thoughts on prompting young people to behave in unsafe, unconsensual ways for free drinks, vulnerabilities in nightlife and the collective responsibility for those who are impressionable and easily influenced.
Press play now to have a listen!
If you or anyone you know has been a victim of predatory behaviour in nightlife, please seek support from someone you can trust, talk about it and if you feel up to it, report it to the police.
You may feel as if it won’t make a difference, and reporting is definitely a hard and rather clinical process, but just know that in doing so, you can potentially help get another predator off the streets so they can’t make any more victims.
You can also head on over to nighttimeeconomysolutions.com for more info and resources on harassment in nightlife.
