Abstract

Based on the growing number of feminists and the rise of various media, this paper studies the reports and speeches about feminism in traditional media and new we-media, and explores how people use language to express and share feminist views. In a traditional medium, this paper presents the existence of gender stereotypes in language and examines how gender stereotypes are transmitted and reinforced in language, including gender biases expressed through vocabulary, phrases, and grammatical structures, by analyzing a large number of news reports from the year and year after Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022. After the development of the new “we media”, feminism has also been developing rapidly. Feminists can express their ideas on the Internet to gain more support. Their use of words to voice feminism will also cause a series of problems. Female language is also ubiquitous in the media. This paper studies the language performance of female characters in TV, film, social media and other media to assess whether this reflects gender relations in the real world.
