GENDER POLARIZATION IN SOCIAL MEDIA

Abstract

Gender polarization on social media refers to a situation where social media users strongly divide over gender-related opinions, views and issues. Social media has become an important platform for individuals to talk about gender issues, including gender equality, women's rights, traditional gender roles, and other related topics. Polarity in online conversations about gender issues can reflect the different views, experiences and values that exist in society. Gender polarization can also occur in discussions about gender stereotypes. Social media provides a space for users to discuss traditional stereotypes about certain gender roles. Some people may be in favor of abolishing these stereotypes, while others may maintain them as part of their culture or beliefs. This kind of debate can create divisions among social media users with different viewpoints.
