What is sexist hate speech? Sexist hate speech targeting women has been referred to in several terms such as “sexualised hate speech”, “sexist hate speech”, “cyber gender harassment”, or “cybersexism”. The aims are to humiliate and objectify women, to destroy their reputation and to make them vulnerable and fearful. It is a form of social shaming, spreading the message that the women are not full human beings. Gender-motivated hate speech creates, reinforces and perpetuates a gender-based hierarchy in public places. Sexist hate speech builds on narratives reaffirming gender stereotypes which justify gender discrimination and sexism. It can take a form of any online expressions including: text, video, photos, images etc.
