Abstract

This article studies the structure of the network and the content of the messages of the biggest anti-feminist campaign promoted on Twitter by the Spanish party Vox, around the celebration of March 8, 2021. The study universe is made up of all the comments indexed with the hashtags #8MDiaVictimasCovid and #EsteFeminismoEsViolencia. The collection of the 6,463 tuits was carried out using RStudio software, while the qualitative and linguistic analysis of the corpus was carried out using Sketch Engine program. The research shows that the anti-feminism of Vox corresponds to the misogyny that it presents in the discourses of the Spanish Manosphere to denounce the feminist movement, through its association with some slogans such as "supremacist", "radical", "extremist" or "violent". The messages try to capitalize on the discontent caused by the pandemic and make feminism the target of all criticism, accusing it of complicity with the Government and of using dominant and violent methods to impose itself and obtain economic benefits. The self-referentiality of the messages, the use of simple and repetitive frames, and the profusion of negative emotions are the main strategies adopted to provoke disinformation around feminism and promote hate speech towards women who sympathize with feminism.
