ABSTRACT

Weibo, one of China’s largest digital media platforms, has become a major platform for women’s voices to fight for equality. However, misconceptions of feminism on Weibo have become obstacles to women’s voices, for which the platforms did not post women’s views prominently. From the perspective of women themselves, this paper adopted a questionnaire to study the misunderstanding of feminism and its impact on women’s expression on Weibo.

KEYWORDS

feminism, women’s voices, digital media platforms, the post-epidemic era
