Abstract
The progress of the Internet has brought faster and wider dissemination of information, and brought a communication platform for women to show their charm. But the Internet, as a more efficient medium of communication, has also deepened the dilemma of the male gaze for women. The author used summarizing literature as a method, and summarized the current situation, problems and future development of female images on the Internet based on the survey results. The research purpose of this paper is to discover the presentation of female images on the Internet in the current Internet era, discover the existing problems and challenges faced by the current female images on the Internet, and explore the future female images that promote the development of feminism. The problem, according to the study, is that network media focuses on women’s appearance and body, imprisoning women in the male gaze, and women are objectified and lose their own value. In order to further promote the development of feminism, the author believes that women should use the Internet media to spread feminist ideas, the government should strengthen the supervision of the Internet, and culture and education should be improved.
