Hello All:
I was wondering if there is research about hostility/ (verbal) violence against women in online communities?
I am particularly interested in this question "is Farsi (Persian) speaking online communities, such as blog sphere and Persian social media are hostile towards women/ female bloggers and online participants?"
I would greatly appreciate any feedback. You can email me directly.
Thank you,
Elham Gheytanchi Sociology, Santa Monica College
