ABSTRACT

This study examines the impact of the feminist movement on young individuals through social media. A mixed-methods approach, utilizing survey questionnaires and one-on-one interviews, was employed to collect data from participants in Chinese high schools and universities. The findings demonstrate that the feminist movement has gained significant traction, with active engagement from both genders. Social media plays a crucial role in disseminating feminist ideas and generating discussions. However, female adolescents exposed to feminist content on social media reported negative impacts, such as increased anxiety and self-doubt, affecting their overall well-being. Addressing these challenges is crucial for fostering an inclusive and supportive environment for the next generation of activists and advocates.
