PhD thesis, Victoria University. Contemporary feminism is playing out in increasingly digitised ways as women utilise the Internet and social media to discuss, disseminate and debate key feminist ideas in women-centred dedicated spaces. The speed and scope of digital communications technologies has allowed for the mobilisation of individuals around issues of gender inequality on a global scale while simultaneously launching feminism into the cultural zeitgeist. The rapid pace of technological advancement, the seemingly endless integration of the Internet into our everyday lives, and the corporate colonisation of the digital sphere are all changing the ways in which people understand and interact with feminist thought. Comment data collected directly from the 15 popular threads selected for analysis was enriched by moderation and administration guidelines framing the community and Reddit more broadly, providing a rich and multifaceted dataset on which a reflexive thematic content analysis was conducted. This study aims to contribute to understanding the challenges and advantages women face as they organise around feminist issues in the online spaces that are governed primarily by the motivation to accumulate profit.

It hardly seems worth an argument: It is. The thriving social news site is a community where a legitimate female rape victim is met with skepticism, but a fake male cancer victim is accepted without question. I hate that I even second guessed what I wanted to do, based on what a bunch of men were saying. On the other hand, since Reddit does not discriminate against anyone, even the most racist and misogynist opinions make themselves heard. In the case of this reporter, a neutral username seemed to do the trick. The answer? Try to roll with the punches. According to redditor TodayIamGruntled , a little hostility toward women is just the lay of the land. But she sees bias against women as more of a hassle than outright hostility.
