“…It was first initiated as a campaign against sexual violence and in solidarity with survivors by feminist activist and community organiser Tarana Burke in the United States in 2006 (Fileborn and Loney-Howes, 2019). It then rose to global prominence through social media in October 2017 when the actor Alyssa Milano encouraged women to say 'me too' if they had experienced some form of sexual violence in the wake of numerous allegations of sexual abuse being made against Harvey Weinstein in the US, and the hashtag became popularly used (Boyle, 2019;McKinney, 2019). These events overlapped with the period in which we were carrying out our data collection (November-December 2017), and the #MeToo movement had a significant impact on many European countries, although this did vary substantially in different contexts.…”

“…The concept of facticity refers to "basic facts" of human existence, such as interdependency and mortality (Brinkmann, 2006). This concept draws from existential philosophy and can be contrasted with the notion of transcendence (the possibility of moving beyond what is given) (McKinney, 2019). "Facticities" refer to elements of the human condition that "simply are the case, prior to any conventions or social constructions" including human interdependence and living in community with other mortal beings (Brinkmann, 2006, p. 95).…”

There is a called-for shift to an upstream provision of palliative care as an overall care approach within a health equity perspective. Our research explored how nurses in psychiatry engage with aging patients and mortality to discern enactment of ethical dimensions of care. Drawing from tenets of interpretative phenomenological analysis, forensic and geriatric psychiatry registered nurses working at a mental health facility in eastern Ontario completed interviews for analysis. Nurses engaged with mortality through a process of recognition and through the affirmation of their values. The affirmed values are aligned with the palliative care approach and within an ethics of finitude lens in that their enactment is partly premised on the recognition of patients’ accumulated losses related to human facticities (social, temporal, mortal). This research underscores preliminary insights on a process identifying care practices aligned with the palliative approach and possibilities for expanding upon an ethics of finitude lens.

The purpose of this study was to explore young women’s experiences of pornography and how they believe pornography has affected both themselves and other adolescents in terms of sexuality and sexual experiences. Seven young women aged 17–18 years were interviewed and their narratives were analyzed through thematic analysis. The results show that the participants’ pornography consumption has at times evoked feelings of shame in relation to their official feminist stance. Moreover, they all report experiences of being pressured to adopt a “supporting role” in sex and to perform in line with a narrow pornographic script, thus compromising their wish to enjoy sex and enact sexual agency. It is also evident how the participants have struggled to navigate through the conflicting positions that are available within a postfeminist culture, for instance in relation to feminism, heterosexual gender norms, and the strong ideal of being an “agent” in sex. In the pursuit of young women’s healthy sexual development, the results highlight the need for safe female venues, a relational understanding of agency, cultural change rather than individualized responsibility, porn literacy training, and the advancement of broader sexual scripts.
