当厌女症导致越来越多的妇女被谋杀时，会发生什么？她们的生命被认为是不值得的，因为她们的尊严受到攻击。当反女权主义者的反弹在政治、政策和社会空间中热情高涨，以扭转和挑战女权主义的进步时，女权主义者在全球性的时刻做了什么？愤怒发生了。这篇文章探讨了愤怒在非洲女权主义者在Twitter上的数字反公众发展中的作用。通过两个Twitter标签，#MenAreTrash和#JusticeForSharon，我阐明了肯尼亚和南非女性杀戮率上升所产生的愤怒如何催化了Twitter上女权主义知识，团结和抵抗社区的演变。本文所述的愤怒被认为与国家和男性盟友的长期倦怠和疲劳无反应有关。通过这些数字空间，建立联盟和挑战反女权运动的过程出现了。围绕这些标签的女权主义活动是对网上厌女症及其通过杀害女性的物质表现的具体抵制。在反女权主义运动将数字空间视为动员反女权主义情绪的场所的背景下，关注数字女权主义反公众对于理解性别公正和自由至关重要。
What happens when misogyny leads to increasing murders of women, whose lives are considered not worthy because their respectability is under attack? What do feminists do in a global moment when antifeminist backlash emerges with fervor in politics, policy, and social spaces to reverse and challenge feminist progress? Rage happens. This article explores the role of rage in the development of African feminist digital counterpublics on Twitter. Through two Twitter hashtags, #MenAreTrash and #JusticeForSharon, I illuminate how anger emanating from increasing rates of femicide in Kenya and South Africa catalyzes the evolution of feminist communities of knowledge, solidarity, and resistance on Twitter. The rage illustrated in this article is considered in relation to longer histories of burnout and fatigue with nonresponse from the state and from male allies. Through these digital spaces, a process of building alliances and challenging antifeminist movements emerges. Feminist engagements around these hashtags are a site of concrete resistance against online misogyny as well as its material manifestations through femicide. In a context where antifeminist movements see digital spaces as sites to mobilize antifeminist sentiment, paying attention to digital feminist counterpublics is critical to understanding gender justice and freedom.
