In recent years, there has been increased focus on the tone in the comment sections on social media. Many women experience sexism and hateful expressions when participating in public online debates. This is not uncommon and has unfortunately resulted in many women, out of fear of backlash, harassment, and hate speech, either refraining from participating or completely withdrawing from the debate. This can lead to a distortion of democratic discourse and an unequal representation of diverse viewpoints online, which can be a concerning trend. Many individuals are exposed, shamed, violated, shared, and broken down as human beings on digital platforms. As digitalization in Denmark continues to increase, the opportunity to express oneself on digital media is amplified. This doesn’t hold back the Danish population from participating in public online debates; on the contrary, everyone has an opinion on everything, and it is often easier to express oneself when hiding behind a screen. Everyday sexism in public online debates has become commonplace for many individuals, with women being particularly targeted. This thesis delves into digital everyday sexism and hate speech in the media and explores the significance of women’s withdrawal from the democratic online debate.
