Sudden influxes of new contributors to online communities can cause apprehension and resentment among r/twoxchromosomes members, potentially leading to the displacement of existing members by newcomers, r/twoxchromosomes. Though we find evidence of a small displacement effect, other factors, such as the passage of time and the U, r/twoxchromosomes. We also find that after the influx, discussion topics shifted temporarily toward general statements about women and men, r/twoxchromosomes by a lasting shift away from appearance-related topics toward topics relating to motherhood.

PhD thesis, Victoria University. Contemporary feminism is playing out in increasingly digitised ways as women utilise the Internet and social media to discuss, disseminate and debate key feminist ideas in women-centred dedicated spaces. The speed and scope of digital communications technologies has allowed for the mobilisation of individuals around issues of gender inequality on a global scale while simultaneously launching feminism into the cultural zeitgeist. The rapid pace of technological advancement, the seemingly endless integration of the Internet into our everyday lives, and the corporate colonisation of the digital sphere are all changing the ways in which people understand and interact with feminist thought. Comment data collected directly from the 15 popular threads selected for analysis was enriched by moderation and administration guidelines framing the community and Reddit more broadly, providing a rich and multifaceted dataset on which a reflexive thematic content analysis was conducted.

But it is increasingly clear that the internet has facilitated the creation of a global community of feminists who use the internet both for discussion and activism. Reddit is a notoriously male-centered site and has received criticism for being hostile to women as well as other historically marginalized identities and there have even been threads on Reddit that address these concerns. The subreddit TwoXChromosomes has about 2. Women who rule their bedrooms also rule their own lives. We are taking the power to be ourselves outside any gender stereotypes, or prefabricated roles. I must admit, I really like the idea that the younger generations today that I am a part of are trying to take the feminist movement, this 'fourth wave', in a new direction.

It hardly seems worth an argument: It is. The thriving social news site is a community where a legitimate female rape victim is met with skepticism, but a fake male cancer victim is accepted without question. I hate that I even second guessed what I wanted to do, based on what a bunch of men were saying. On the other hand, since Reddit does not discriminate against anyone, even the most racist and misogynist opinions make themselves heard. In the case of this reporter, a neutral username seemed to do the trick. The answer?

In sum, the evidence suggests that in this particular case, fears of displacement by a sudden influx of newcomers are exaggerated, and that technology designers, users, and online community managers should consider the impact of a wider variety of factors when considering how to maintain cohesive online communities.
