Wrong use of Feminism on Social Media Platforms

This work explores the pervasive misappropriation of feminism on social media platforms. It delineates how feminism is often misrepresented, diluted, and commodified for commercial gain, leading to a shallow understanding of its core principles. Furthermore, it discusses the propagation of toxic femininity under the guise of feminism, the polarization of discourse, and the neglect of intersectionality. By examining these issues, the abstract underscores the detrimental impact of the wrong use of feminism on social media, emphasizing the need for critical engagement and inclusive dialogue to reclaim the movement's integrity and effectiveness. A survey has been conducted based on Google form of 50 questions among the common people for the identification of the opinions of people on the negative aspects that social media has on the promotion of feminist theories among the common people. The survey has helped in the identification that to some extent social media is responsible for the misinterpretation of feminist theories among the population. Thus, it is essential to take steps to make just use of the platform for spreading the ideas of feminism and equality among genders.
