Abuse directed at visible and audible women demonstrates that cyberspace, once heralded as a new, democratic, public sphere, suffers similar gender inequalities as the offline world. This paper reports findings from a national UK study about experiences of online abuse amongst women who debate feminist politics. It argues that online abuse is most usefully conceived as a form of abuse or violence against women and girls, rather than as a form of communication. It examines the experiences of those receiving online abuse, thereby making a valuable contribution to existing research which tends to focus on analysis of the communications themselves.

在线滥用女权主义者是一种新兴的暴力侵害妇女和女童形式

针对可见和可听女性的虐待表明，曾经被誉为新的、民主的、公共领域的网络空间与线下世界面临着类似的性别不平等。本文报告了英国一项全国性研究的结果，该研究涉及讨论女权主义政治的女性中的在线虐待经历。它认为，最有效地将在线虐待视为对妇女和女童的一种虐待或暴力形式，而不是一种交流形式。它检查了那些接受在线虐待的人的经历，从而对现有的研究做出了宝贵的贡献，这些研究往往侧重于分析通信本身。
