Description: Sexual Harassment Online: Shaming and Silencing Women in the Digital Age [Hardcover] Levey, Tania G. Product Overview Women who use social media are often subjected to blatant sexual harassment, facing everything from name calling to threats of violence. Aside from being disturbing, what does this abuse tell us about gender and sexual norms? And can we use the Internet to resist, even transform, destructive misogynistic norms?
