Abstract:

Feminist studies have also been influenced by the innovations of the digital world. As feminism becomes controversial in the digital, individuals share their opinions about women’s rights and issues. The first basis of the study was revealed when content related to feminism was observed on social media. It has been seen that the perception of feminism has not yet been placed correctly. This study is based on hashtags and comments developed on feminism on social media. Basically, how feminism is defined in the social media in Turkey and the dominant content and speech formed in relation to the feminism movement is measured through "hashtags". In the study, popular among virtual platforms, "Extraordinary", the topical titles opened with the hashtags "feminism" and "feminist" were investigated; after the content analysis, speaking typologies from the content were created. The definitions made to the relevant subjects have a high degree of sexuality and violence, in most dictionary definitions the terms "feminism" and "feminist" are negatively perceived, even the related hashtags are underestimated and underestimated in terms of social gender and roles, in the comments under the hashtags has been found that feminism is perceived as a female view of violence and sexuality in Turkey.
