Abstract
Abstract
Hate speech can be expressed as a hatred expression toward an individual or a group of people-because of the characteristics they share with a group they belong. The social network proliferation has made it easy to spread hatred. This article has been written with the aim of analyzing the hate speech components through comments and posts of Iranian female users on Instagram. Referring to Glirdon’s views, a theoretical synthesis of hate speech production in cyberspace is presented and critical discourse of twenty female users active in the women filed has been analyzed. In accordance with Van Dayek’s discourse analysis approach, it has prepared a special work form for recording and extracting information from selected news texts. The results identify four components of hate speech that represent structural hatred of women against women. Women stand against each other in different political, cultural, and social contexts through hateful literature.
There are similarities and differences among women about their legal demands and fight against hate speech. While all identified components of violence against women and forced marriage are identical, the secular and political users show the greatest opposition to religious modernist and traditional currents. They emphasize the priority of being a women and reject the family as an ideological and patriarchal institution.
