Social media plays a major role in a lot of our lives. Especially feminism, a lot of women come together to support eachother more often then you would think. Social media doesnt have a thin line of Defensive. the article gives great detail into what it is to be a women on social media.
I believe that in the same way that social media has helped to advance and support feminism in positive way it has also helped those who are against it to be even more vocal. Not everyone is happy about women empowerment. I was raised by strong women so I've always had a clear understanding of what I could aspire to be as an adult but I wouldn't exactly call them feminist. I think the compare and contrast concept of women being better than or equal to a man is when feminism is the most relevant. There's a lot of power in social media both good and bad. An example of how I feel social media has helped to advance feminism is the topic of pay difference between men and women in the same role ; such a relevant topic yet highly discussed however this was never addressed on a public platform. There are some people who are raised in different parts of the world or who have my "traditional" belief that a woman is made to be in the home and not apart of a working society. Understanding that woman have evolved as well as their role in society is the most important thing to be taken away from feminism.
Social media has reshaped feminism by leveling the playing field by ensuring that women are equally represented and heared despite their backgrounds and countries. It has also given women a platform to speak out about sexual abuse and other injustice that they go through in life. I Like this article because it talks about social media and how a lot of people are activist on there.And how Social media is a powerful place and gives women more freedom..
Women are as a whole underrepresented in media. The rise of social media has made it possible for the depiction to slowly shift, enabling more voices to be heard. Women are now able to express ideas and thoughts to create conversations and spread ideas on a broader spectrum, reshaping feminisms and equality. For some this is the only way of having their stories heard in an anonymous way without fear of of action against themselves and fear of violence. Social media is vital for the expression of so many and the ending of oppression.
Feminism has always been important because in many countries women traditionally have a lower status than men. But now we all pursue social equality, human rights. Therefore, women's voice on social media is easier to spread than offline, so that more people can understand the harm and trouble caused by gender discrimination and social inequality. However, the Meetoo movement helped reshape the influence of women's rights in society, letting more people know that women should be given the same status and eliminating gender discrimination.
The advancement of feminism on social media has improved with time. Women utilize social media to express themselves and spread optimism all across the world. Social media platforms have opened up new avenues for women to communicate and be honest about themselves and teach others about their life experiences, and it also allows people to view each other's life experiences and know that they aren't alone.
Social media has definitely reshaped the way we interact with new information in general, and topics such as feminism are no different. On the positive side, social media can be informative and show you aspects of feminism that you never thought of or considered to be a part of feminism before. It can help women advance their careers by putting their work out there without needing anyone else's approval-- for example, it may be difficult for someone to get into a competitive art school, and therefore difficult for the person to get the artistic recognition they deserve. It often happens that women can be overlooked in favor of men applying to the same school or same position as them. But if the woman in question has already started a social media account on which she posts her work, she already has a platform that she wouldn't have had pre-social media, and therefore it evens the playing field a bit more between women and men. However, there's a negative side to social media too, and that's the fact that it often serves as an echo-chamber. People choose who they follow, and therefore often see the same views they hold echoed back at them. People with highly anti-feminist views will be bombarded with views stating highly backwards ideas (as far as I'm aware, there's a large community online that still believes that women belong in the kitchen/ or are "better seen and not heard"). People with that viewpoint will never hear the opposing one, and will only become more extreme in their views as they're constantly being reinforced. So in short-- social media can help teach about feminism, and can help women get a head start by giving them a platform to work with, but can also be a place where backwards views are amplified and promoted.
I feel like social media reshaped feminism because nowadays women feel oppress by society. This oppression gives them a feel of discomfort and anger because women often get treated with disrespect however, on social media women feel comfortable and free to express themselves.

Social media has made silenced women feel more included and powerful. The article said how researchers found that in countries with lots of gender inequality, women were more likely to have a significant online presence. This is because social media is a platform where people can express their struggles that they might be silenced from expressing in real life. Women can also meet other women who go through similar or the same situations and unfortunately there's no shortage of them. Social media is also a place where it's easy to bring awareness to the gender inequality issues going on in ones country. I always see people spreading awareness on injustices online even when the news won't cover those stories. Social media is a powerful place and gives women more power even if they don't have it in real life.
Social consciousness is shaped from discussion and exchange. Social consciousness is the driving force behind organized political and societal change. This matters when half of the population is excluded from the process. When women are censored from sharing their views in traditional platforms through political, societal, or cultural means it becomes important for feminism to provide alternate channels for expression. Social media or rather online platforms provide a more global and personally-detached way for women to speak out. They may be less limited by local culture in an environment where they interact with the global population. Also they're able to communicate within the privacy of their own homes with the anonymity afforded to them by the internet, allowing safety from retribution. In general, while social media use has afforded many women to express themselves more freely, it can only act as the catalyst for more organized mobilization for change.
Feminism isn't just saying that women are better than men which I feel some people think that is what feminism is when it really is. Being a feminist is fighting for the respect and wanting equal opportunities, it isn't about being better than anyone else it is about being just as good as men. In society men and women are viewed completely different. As women we have been through a lot down in history and we are still going through a lot currently. This article stood out to me because it talks about social media and how a lot of people are activist on there.
This article is interesting in regards to the relationship that feminism has with social media. Social media platforms are a great place to speak about anything really and feminism is no exception. It's a greta way for people to share their stories and get the support that they need. At times sharing these stories anonymously which a lot of people may be more comfortable doing. Although there is false information that is being circulating on social media, I do feel that the support and positivity that a lot of women get out way the negativity. Social media for many is their only access to getting their voices heard.
Social media has created a platform for people from all walks of life to be able to come together and coalesce. People are able to share their stories and have others come to their defense and aid, while providing them with the support they may not have gotten in their personal life from family and peers. It allows people to not feel so alone due to others having the ability to let them know that they share the same pain and experiences. There are deficits to social media as it puts pressure on looks and appearances, while facilitating a platform for bullies to be able to comment while hiding behind a keyboard. There is also a lot of false information circulating around the realm of social media, that is not being vetted, allowing false news to be accepted. The benefits of social media in regards to feminism are as aforementioned, creating a space for people to feel less ashamed. With the #MeToo movement, people who had suffered from abuse, especially women, were able to come forward and share there stories, with people across the globe providing a shoulder to lean on. Social media gives access to those who may not have had a voice elsewhere.
Social media! Everyone is familiar with this topic! It has a very good positive effect on is but no one really talk about its bad effect. There are a lot of social media available now. For example; Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and so on!! These sites publish your most recent activities exactly the way you want. But people take advantages of these sites as well. I have never thought about the bad effect of these sites before reading this article as I am not really connected with the “social media”. So thanks to Rebecca! This article proves how feminism is presented wrongly in our society. It also clarified the real facts of feminism. It was a great article. I am completely agree with this fact of social media because I am observing it now with the facts about Corona virus! There are some people posting their comments on social media that this virus is fake even after more than 10000 people are dying every day! Therefore, social media can easily reshape anything and we should be aware of it.
This article struck a few important topics that I was very interested in. One thing that was mentioned was men having a higher platform on social media and also men having twice the amount of interactions with tweets especially. Even though women are more likely to have social media accounts across all platforms. I feel that women are fighting for an acceptance from the various social media communities making them more exposed to conforming to social norms and beauty standards in our society which I personally see as damaging to an extent.
In today’s society , we often turn our attention to social media as one of the tools for sharing stories , point of views, and open discussions on Feminist ideals and other popular topics going around. I believe social media has its positive side & ofc negative but it’s how you use it. Social media has reshaped feminism but giving women a chance to speak there voice on an international platform. One thing I found quite interesting in this article is “researchers found that countries with large gender inequities in offline life, women were most likely to have significant online presences. In Pakistan, for example women on average have more followers google plus and in Twitter then their male counterparts”. This makes me happy that women are finding outlets to speak on matters that matter to them without all of the barriers that the world brings
I thought this article was incredibly interesting of how social media can actually affect feminism. Although it's still frustrating how many women continue to be underrepresented in many of the mainstream media outlets, there is still a very big media presence among women. When I scroll through my social media, there is always more women speaking out about certain issues than men, so this was definitely true. This is why it's so important that as feminists, we continue to use our platforms to shed light on certain things and to speak up whenever we can. It's especially evident in things like the #MeToo movement, where we saw a rise in women speaking out against their own experiences with sexual assault. As women continued to speak out about this, more women felt comfortable in posting about it as well. I believe that if we continue to use our social media for good, we can help bring change in our own surroundings and communities.
