MIZOGINY AND GENDER INEQUALITIES IN SYBER SPACE

Summary/Abstract: Misogyny in cyber space encompasses wide range of hostile behaviors, but it is often hard to specify what it involves due to cultural and social factors. Research confirm that misogyny in cyber space is significantly present and contributes to the maintenance of gender inequalities, but it has not been sufficiently researched in our country. In this study we analyze the ways in which misogyny in cyberspace contributes to the gender inequalities: through analysis of misogyny from historical perspective in order to place this phenomena in long term context; through the analysis of the prevalence of misogyny and the varieties of it’s manifestations, and through the analysis of consequences of misogyny on the gender inequalities. A review of historical sources shows a long tradition of misogyny in our culture. A review of modern researches shows the widespread prevalence of misogyny with its numerous manifestations in cyberspace. It often results in silencing and exclusion of women from the public sphere of cyberspace, which has far-reaching implications for the maintenance of gender inequalities.
