INFLUENCE OF TWITTER(X) FEMINISM IN PROMOTING HATRED TOWARDS MEN AMONG WOMEN (A STUDY OF YABA COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY,FEMALE UNDERGRADUATES)

ABSTRACT The study examined the influence of Twitter(x) Feminism in promoting hatred towards men among women.The study set out to examine the nature and themes of feminist discourse on Twitter and how they shape perceptions of men; to analyse the extent to which Twitter feminism influences attitudes towards men among women; to investigate whether claims of misandry within Twitter feminism are rooted in misrepresentation or genuine hostility; and, to explore the role of Twitter’s platform dynamics (e.g., brevity, emotional tone, and polarisation) in shaping feminist narratives and their reception. Using descriptive survey, the researcher distributed 400 questionnaire copies to students of Yaba College of Technology but retrieved 373 copies. Hence, 93.25% retrieval rate. As evident in the ratings of the respondents, the study found that there is a valid reason for some mentioning misandry sound by side with feminism on X. After all, this is because the negative actions of men are heavily amplified by feminists. Again, the study found that some individuals use Twitter feminism as a tool to attack men rather than advocate for equality. The study concluded that Twitter feminism is not monolithic and that some feminist narratives do portray men negatively. It also noted that misandry is not the core of Twitter feminism—but it exists on the fringes. The study therefore recommended that Twitter users should be encouraged to engage critically with feminist content on Twitter to avoid misinterpretations and sweeping generalisations and that feminist advocates on Twitter should aim to foster inclusive conversations that advocate for equality without vilifying any gender.
