Aside from being disturbing, what does this abuse tell us about gender and sexual norms? And can we use the Internet to resist, even transform, destructive misogynistic norms? Exploring the language of shaming and silencing women in the cybersphere, Tania Levey addresses these questions and also considers how online attempts to regulate women’s behavior intersect with issues of race, ethnicity, and class UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781626377035 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781626377035 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781626377035/original ER -
