From sites like Hollaback! and Everyday Sexism, which document
instances of street harassment and misogyny, to social
media-organized movements and communities like #MeToo and
#BeenRapedNeverReported, feminists are using participatory digital
media as activist tools to speak, network, and organize against
sexism, misogyny, and rape culture. As the first book-length study
to examine how girls, women, and some men negotiate rape culture
through the use of digital platforms, including blogs, Twitter,
Facebook, Tumblr, and mobile apps, the authors explore four primary
questions: What experiences of harassment, misogyny, and rape
culture are being responded to? How are participants using digital
media technologies to document experiences of sexual violence,
harassment, and sexism? Why are girls, women and some men choosing
to mobilize digital media technologies in this way? And finally,
what are the various experiences of using digital technologies to
engage in activism? In order to capture these diverse experiences
of doing digital feminist activism, the authors augment their
analysis of this media (blog posts, tweets, and selfies) with
in-depth interviews and close-observations of several online
communities that operate globally. Ultimately, the book
demonstrates the nuances within and between digital feminist
activism and highlight that, although it may be technologically
easy for many groups to engage in digital feminist activism, there
remain emotional, mental, or practical barriers which create
different experiences, and legitimate some feminist voices,
perspectives, and experiences over others.
