Developments in digital technologies might provide limitless ways to reshape humanitys very existence, but also open up what we term “bounded limitless” opportunities for digital gender–sexual violations (DGSV). That is, “limitless” opportunities for men to sexually violate women within the inherent “boundedness” of digital technological infrastructures and architectures. Building on the existing interdisciplinary feminist scholarship, we explore the gendered disbenefits, specifically some of the ways in which digital technologies provide men with “bounded limitless” opportunities to perpetrate DGSV in physical and virtual times and spaces, and the implications for women, their bodies, and gender–sexual relations more broadly.
