Collapse Feminism analyses how conservative and anti-feminist ideas are filtered through social media, and how we can collectively fight back against them to reclaim our future online.
We're living in an era where 'doom' feels like a frequent refrain. Our discussions and societal narratives often revolve around collapse. In times of crisis, women often find themselves targeted, their rights questioned, and their sexuality dissected.
Online platforms witness claims that women are to blame for Western society's decline. What's even more troubling is that this anti-feminist rhetoric has fused with internet culture, pushed by algorithms into users' social media feeds.
From exploring the reactionary elements of the 'manosphere' to dissecting sexual liberation, hookup culture, traditional femininity, the 'girlboss' phenomenon, and self-help content, Collapse Feminism dissects the conservative backlash propagated online. It calls for resistance against this trend and urges us to rethink our contemporary pessimism.
