Sexual Injustice and Willful Ignorance. Gilson, E. In Routledge International Handbook of Ignorance Studies. Routledge, 2 edition, 2022. Num Pages: 12abstract bibtex Despite the way the #MeToo movement and various other movements for gender and sexual justice have brought widespread attention to the injustice of sexual victimization, ignorance persists in the face of evidence. This chapter addresses the issue of why ignorance about sexual injustice is still so pervasive despite the overwhelming evidence, and despite the years and years of work by activists and scholars to understand and address the problem. It ties ignorance and sexual victimization to the theme of vulnerability and to ignorance of vulnerability. The chapter explicates ignorance of sexual injustice as a form of willful ignorance of systemic oppression, tracing this idea through recent philosophical work about how ignorance contributes to oppression. It explores the connections between vulnerability, ignorance, and sexual injustice by outlining five ways of being ignorant of sexual injustice. The chapter concludes that willful ignorance about sexual injustice persists because it is woven throughout dominant notions of morality, merit, responsibility, safety, normalcy, and abnormality, and thus through the very resources with which most people attempt to make sense of injustice.
