Study Notes
Online Harassment Towards Women of Color
- Online harassment is a growing societal issue, with little research examining common themes in hostile messages.
- This study focuses on online harassment targeting Hispanic/Latinx and Black women on Twitter.
- Social network methodology and topic analysis were used to analyze hostile messages.
- Messages directed at Black women often included racial stereotypes about promiscuity, using accusations of being overly sexual.
- Messages targeting Latinx women frequently involved xenophobia, stereotypes about menial labor, and political comments.
- Both groups were also subjected to feminine attractiveness insults.
- These hostile messages reinforce negative race and gender stereotypes, contributing to inequality.
Social Processes in Online Harassment
- Online harassment involves problematic digital contact.
- Relevant concepts include cyberbullying and cyberaggression, both involving intentional, harmful online communication.
- Social norms and hierarchies influence online harassment.
- Individuals who don't conform to traditional societal expectations (e.g., heterosexuality) are often targets of cyberaggression.
- Increasing one's status amongst peers is another motivation behind online aggression.
- Harassment against women of color reflects a gender hierarchy.
- Perpetrators may see harassment as a way to increase their social standing.
Intersectionality Research
- Intersectionality highlights interconnected social categories (race, class, gender, sexual orientation) that shape experiences.
- Intersectionality theory emphasizes that a single demographic identity alone is insufficient to explain oppression.
- Experiences of individuals vary based on intersectional identities (e.g., race, class, gender).
- Studying intersectionality has methodological challenges, with concerns over measuring and interpreting multiple identities.
- Hostility toward women of color stems from intersecting identities of race and gender.
- Minority women often face more harassment compared to their white counterparts due to multiple forms of oppression.
Accessibility and Prevalence of Online Harassment
-
Online harassment is prevalent and easily accessible on Twitter.
-
Studies show a rise in online harassment.
-
Aggressive tweets were readily accessible within the social media platform.
-
It took approximately 18 seconds to locate a tweet insulting Black women and 16 seconds for Latinx women.
Topic Analysis of Hostile Messages
- Topic analysis identified common themes in the hostile tweets targeting Latinx and Black women.
- Key Themes for Latinx women included racism/stereotypes, media, and immigration.
- The word "beaner" was frequently used.
- Stereotypes of Latinx women—and specifically Mexican women were frequently reinforced.
- Key Themes for Black women included racism/stereotypes, promiscuity, and attractiveness.
- The word "black" was frequently used in the messages.
- The word "b*tch" was another frequently used insult.
Semantic Networks
- Analyzing word connections reveals themes within the data.
- Semantic networks visually depict connections between words in tweets, highlighting interconnectedness of topics within hostile tweets.
- Key words ("beaner", "Mexican", "whre", "slt") show up frequently in the semantic network, reinforcing the themes of racism/stereotypes toward Latinx women, and promiscuity/attractiveness toward Black women, suggesting the interaction between racism, sexism, and aggressiveness.
