Abstract
With the development of digital media, feminist thought has demonstrated new modes of dissemination on new media platforms. This paper aims to analyze the interactions between female bloggers and users from a feminist perspective using discourse analysis as a tool. The study explores the deeper motivations and influencing factors behind interactive discourse to foster a more equitable and inclusive discussion on gender issues and a more harmonious social media discourse space. It also seeks to provide theoretical support and methodological reference for scholars studying the dissemination of feminism on new media platforms.The research finds that the pragmatic strategies of users and bloggers differ but are both influenced by subjective emotional tendencies. Furthermore, the study reveals that the discursive identities of users and bloggers in interactions are shaped by the discourse scenarios constructed by bloggers: the closer the content is to the users' lives, the tighter the connection between their discursive identities, and vice versa. Additionally, different types of content play varying roles in the operation of feminist blogger accounts.
