Gendertrolling arises out of the same misogyny that fuels other
"real life" forms of harassment and abuse of women. This book
explains this phenomenon, the way it can impact women's lives, and
how it can be stopped. Designed to educate the general public on a
popular and brutal form of harassment against women,
Gendertrolling: How Misogyny Went Viral provides key insight into
this Internet phenomenon. The book not only differentiates this
violent form of trolling from others but also discusses the legal
parameters surrounding the issue, such as privacy, anonymity, and
free speech online as well as offering legal and policy
recommendations for improving the climate for women online. The
analysis of social media and legal aspects of the book make it
highly suitable as a reliable source to many modern classes.
Additionally, increased awareness among the general and scholarly
public of the phenomenon of gendertrolling would help galvanize
widespread support for laws, policies, new online content provider
protocols, and positive social pressure. Combines the phenomenon of
trolling and keen feminist insight to create a unique perspective
on the treatment of women, male/female interaction, and online user
interaction Demonstrates what online rape and death threats have in
common with street harassment, sexual harassment in the workplace,
domestic violence, and date rape, showing the serious, harmful
nature of this practice Discusses what can be done to change laws
and Internet policies to increase women's freedom of speech and
safety online
