This study investigates how the lemmas woman, girl, man and guy are used to discursively represent and construct gender identities in an anti-feminist forum on the discussion website Reddit. The lemmas were analysed using corpus-assisted social actor analysis and appraisal theory. Similarities and differences within three sub-communities of the TRP subreddit were considered: Men’s Rights (activists who believe that men are systemically disadvantaged in society), Men Going Their Own Way (who abstain from relationships with women), and Red Pill Theory (primarily pick-up artists). The corpus was characterised by bare assertions about gendered behaviour, although the masculine gender role was less well-defined than the feminine one. Women and girls were dehumanised and sexually objectified, negatively judged for morality and veracity, and constructed as desiring hostile behaviour from male social actors. Conversely, men were constructed as victims of female social actors and external institutions and, as a result, as unhappy and insecure.

“大气层”中的男人和女人，男人和女孩：语料库辅助的话语方法

本研究调查了在讨论网站 Reddit 上的反女权主义论坛中，引理女人、女孩、男人和男人如何被用来话语地表示和构建性别认同。使用语料库辅助的社会行为者分析和评价理论对引理进行分析。考虑了 TRP subreddit 的三个子社区内的异同：男性权利（认为男性在社会上处于系统性不利地位的激进主义者）、走自己的路（放弃与女性的关系）和红色药丸理论（主要是接客艺术家）。语料库的特点是对性别行为的赤裸裸的断言，尽管男性的性别角色没有女性角色那么明确。妇女和女孩被非人化和性物化，道德和真实性受到负面评价，并被构建为渴望男性社会行为者的敌对行为。相反，男性被塑造成女性社会行为者和外部机构的受害者，因此不快乐和没有安全感。
