Abstract

To combat the rising tide of online harassment many women are turning to counterspeech as a way of fighting digital misogyny. Stroud and Cox explore the range of feminist counterspeech by engaging two representative case studies from the current online environment. The first example analyzed is Anna Gensler, a feminist who uses her artistic talents and social media as a way to shame harassers and misogynistic men. The second case study explored is TrollBusters, an organization dedicated to fighting the online bullying of females. The chapter concludes with an analysis of the various normative values involved in choosing a strategy of counterspeech, as well as the various ethical concerns that circulate around each strategy represented by the two case studies analyzed in this chapter.
