“…Clearly, male participants are more likely to react to feelings of a "surplus threat" (Schwalbe & Wolkomir, 2001, p. 91) when the researcher is female (Pini, 2005;Presser, 2005;Schwalbe & Wolkomir, 2001); as such, a number of women researchers have documented what these compensatory performances look like in practice and the types of challenges these pose to the fieldwork process. While these practices can take benign forms-for example, men claiming to be an authority on the topic at hand (Allain, 2014;Pini, 2005) or purposefully going off topic (Gailey & Prohaska, 2011)-men can also use more malevolent sexualization strategies to exert control over both the female researcher and the research process (Gailey & Prohaska, 2011;Harries, 2016;Orrico, 2014;Soyer, 2014). A number of women scholars, for example, have written about their experiences of men flirting with them during interviews (Gailey & Prohaska, 2011;Orrico, 2014;Soyer, 2014) or men being overfamiliar by using terms like "love" when addressing them (Harries, 2016).…”
