“…This distinctive staging ground for China's #MeToo is related to (a) the staggeringly unequal power structure between teachers and students in educational sectors, especially in colleges and (b) the rising awareness of gender and sexual issues among college students (Z. Chen et al, 2019;Lin & Yang, 2019). On the other hand, because the Chinese government is very vigilant about and intolerant of any form of collective action, the development of this movement constantly encountered online censorship from the authorities (King et al, 2013).…”

“…Similar to other countries, this anti-sexual harassment movement was initiated and popularized by the virtue of social media. More specifically, it was largely enabled and mobilized by networked yet distributed participants on social media (Lin & Yang, 2019), which is akin to other digital media-enabled movements (e.g., the Arab Spring, the Occupy movement). Bennett and Segerberg (2013) distinguished between the logic of collective action and the logic of connective action to illustrate the differences in organizational patterns between conventional movements and digital media-enabled movements.…”

This study was aimed to contribute to understanding how networked yet fragmented online actors create meaning in digital media–enabled movements like #MeToo. By drawing upon a multidimensional framing analysis, this study investigated how personal action frames, collective action frames, and issue-specific frames were adopted in #MeToo movement in China, and it also shed light on how different groups of social actors respond to sexual harassment issues on Sina Weibo, a Chinese social media platform. This study employed computational content analysis to extract frames from a huge amount of traceable data (i.e., 16,187 Weibo posts) and uncovered seven specific types of frames categorized as personal experiences and emotional commentary (as personal action frames), injustice and opposition (as collective action frames), and problem definition, treatment recommendation, and related news (as issue-specific frames). The results revealed that personal action frames and collective action frames were widely adopted by females and ordinary users, whereas issue-specific frames were more commonly applied by males and organizational users. These empirical findings enhance our understanding of meaning construction with regard to digital media–enabled movements.

Tulisan ini ingin menempatkan gejolak perjuangan kelas-pemikiran Karl Marx-sebagai bahan kajian analisis kritis dalam melihat upaya perjuangan pengesahan RUU Penghapusan Kekerasan Seksual di Indonesia, utamanya dalam aksi mahasiswa bersama dengan rakyat pada gerakan #GejayanMemanggil, #RakyatGugatNegara dan aksi lainnya di berbagai wilayah di Indonesia. Ide utama dari esai ini adalah bahwa teori kelas Marx hadir berdasarkan filosofi pemahaman terhadap fenomena sosial; adanya pembagian kelas pada masyarakat itu sendiri. Pada studi ini dilihat adalah kelas penguasa (pemerintah; negara) dan kelas rakyat biasa. Marx berkeyakinan bahwa inklusivitas dalam masyarakat hanya dapat tercapai melalui perjuangan kelas. Tulisan ini menggunakan jenis metode penelitian kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan kajian pustaka. Eksplorasi data sekunder dalam tulisan ini didapatkan melalui penelusuran tulisan ilmiah dan tulisan populer seperti jurnal, tulisan di koran, media daring dan buku yang terkait dengan tema dalam tulisan ini.

“…As part of the global #MeToo movement, Chinese women started a web-based campaign against sexual harassment in early 2018, and many women began to talk about their experiences of harassment (BBC, 2018; Fan, 2018; Lin & Yang, 2019). However, China’s #MeToo movement has been controversial, and a section of the public believes that the situations these women describe do not constitute sexual harassment, accusing them of ulterior motives (Lin & Yang, 2019). Furthermore, there is a lack of discussion about the definition and perception of sexual harassment in Chinese society and academia, even though these factors may significantly affect victims’ emotional experiences, subsequent coping strategies, the perception of the validity of the allegations, and even court rulings.…”

In East Asian culture, where sex is a sensitive subject, many women still have a high recognition threshold when it comes to sexual harassment, as well as a high tolerance for it. Previous research has shown that feminist identity is effective in promoting women’s physical and mental health and buffering against the negative effects of sexual harassment, thus, it is important to clarify the role that feminist identity plays in the perception of sexual harassment. In this study, we examined whether feminist identity is related to the perception and tolerance of sexual harassment and whether feminist identity mediates the relations between sexism, gender roles, and sexual harassment perception and tolerance among Chinese working women. In a survey of 507 participants, we found that active commitment to feminism was positively correlated with women’s perception of sexual harassment, while passive acceptance of traditional gender roles was positively correlated with tolerance of sexual harassment. Mediation analysis showed that active commitment to feminism mediated the relations between sexism, gender roles, and sexual harassment perception, while passive acceptance of traditional gender roles mediated the relations between sexism and femininity with sexual harassment tolerance. We assert that feminist identity has the potential to enable women to be more perceptive and less tolerant of sexual harassment behaviors, and as such, feminist ideology should be incorporated into education for Chinese women.
