4.9/5 (9393 ratings)

Description:An urgently needed reckoning with the harassment and abuse women face on the internet, featuring deep reporting on how women are surviving the trauma—by an award-winning reporter When Alia Dastagir published a story for USA Today as part of an investigation into child sexual abuse, she became the target of an online mob launched by QAnon and encouraged by Donald Trump, Jr. Although female journalists, politicians, academics, and influencers are attacked online most often, all women online experience hate, profoundly harming not only the individual woman but also society. In To Those Who Have Confused You to Be a Person, Dastagir uses critical analysis from psychologists, sociologists, neuroscientists, technologists, and philosophers to offer a deep and intimate look at what women experience during online abuse, as well as how they cope and make meaning out of violence.Dastagir weaves in her story with those of thirteen other women, including a comedian who uses feminist humor to subvert her harassment and an OB/GYN who channels anger over her abuse to fight attacks on reproductive rights. Dastagir explores why language online cannot be ignored, how it damages bodies, when it triggers and traumatizes, and why women’s responses are so varied. She analyzes why people across the ideological spectrum abuse others online and how abuse and disinformation intersect. She argues that although online abuse is often viewed as rooted exclusively in misogyny, it also connects to white-supremacist systems. To Those Who Have Confused You to Be a Person is the book on online abuse for this cultural moment, when being online is a daily necessity for so many, even as people grow ever more polarized. This nuanced examination will empower women to raise their voices against the forces bent on silencing them.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
