Feminist is a 21st century word
Feminism is often portrayed in a negative light on social media. You can visit almost any social media site and see feminism bashing. The social site with the most feminist bashing is twitter. Twitter allows anyone to share their idea whether it’s hate or positive. Social media often portrays feminism in a negative way. Social media is an outline where any and everyone can express their feelings. You often see males bashing feminism on social sites. the article “ Feminist is a 21st century word” its states that those opposing feminism had made “Feminism a synonymous with lesbian”. By all means not all feminist are lesbian, the hashtag #Womenagainstfeminism was turned around into something negative. Social media helps promote ideology biased or unbiased. AS you look on social media you see that men are the one attacking feminism and some women support these actions. Women are very active online when it comes to feminism. The blog states “women are adopting the F word with far greater ease”. Not only are white women active in the challenges of feminism but women of color have joined the fight. Women are tired of being use as sexual objects and their taking a stand against such things. Women want the same treatment men get women make less money than a man doing the same job. Celebrities like Emma Watson and Laverne Cox joined the fight when it comes to feminism they've had a big voice. Social media helped celebrities help spread their ideals when it comes to feminism on social media and social media in general.
