Blurred Lines Documentary- The New Battle Of The Sexes


Summary

  • Most men feel able to be negative towards women and technology is a massive influence of this. 
  • Forms of prejudice are often seen as humour and then explained as 'banter'. 
  • Is offence language towards women socially acceptable? It relates to the context. 
  • Technology enables people to write what they like. Written language is permanent and sexism is being moved from a private place to a public place. 
  • Online abuse towards women in the public eye is only due to social media. 
  • 'Is language different online'- Kirsty Wark
