Why are women so frequently targeted with hate speech online and
what can we do about it? Psychological explanations for the problem
of woman-hating overlook important features of our social world
that encourage latent feelings of hostility toward women, even
despite our consciously-held ideals of equality. Louise
Richardson-Self investigates the woman-hostile norms of the
English-speaking internet, the 'rules' of engagement in these
social spaces, and the narratives we tell ourselves about who gets
to inhabit such spaces. It examines the dominant imaginings
(images, impressions, stereotypes, and ideas) of women that are
shared in acts of hate speech, highlighting their 'emotional
stickiness'. But offering strategies through which we may reimagine
our norms of online engagement, the stories that justify those
norms, and the logic that makes sense of it all, this book shows
how we can create alternative visions of what it means to take up
online space as a woman and to ensure that women are seen as
entitled to be there. By exploring aspects of 'social imaginaries'
theory and applying it to the problem of hate speech against women
online, this book illuminates why woman-hating has become such a
prominent feature of this environment and how we can make these
spaces safer for women.
