Resumo

In today’s post-pandemic society, social media plays a crucial role as major spaces for socialization, facilitating the circulation of ideas and behaviors. However, the internet has not meant the creation of a freer and more democratic digital public sphere, but rather a transposition of the power dynamics and inequalities of the conventional public sphere is observed. On-line anonymity, instead of subverting gender relations, has led to negative lack of inhibition, normalizing sexist and misogynistic discourses. A review of the scientific literature shows that gender-based trolling, especially evident on issues such as equality, gender violence and feminism, contributes to creating and maintaining a hostile environment for women, limiting their participation and expression. Misogyny and reactivity towards women in political roles makes them especially favorable victims of this type of behavior, being considered part of violence against women politicians. Social media, by spreading and normalizing these behaviors, can have a negative impact on women’s participation in the public sphere and politics. Online platform managers play an essential role in addressing this phenomenon, as fake accounts, trolls and hate attacks persist with impunity.
