What happens when misogyny leads to increasing murders of women, whose lives are considered not worthy because their respectability is under attack? What do feminists do in a global moment when antifeminist backlash emerges with fervor in politics, policy, and social spaces to reverse and challenge feminist progress? Rage happens. This article explores the role of rage in the development of African feminist digital counterpublics on Twitter. Through two Twitter hashtags, #MenAreTrash and #JusticeForSharon, I illuminate how anger emanating from increasing rates of femicide in Kenya and South Africa catalyzes the evolution of feminist communities of knowledge, solidarity, and resistance on Twitter. The rage illustrated in this article is considered in relation to longer histories of burnout and fatigue with nonresponse from the state and from male allies. Through these digital spaces, a process of building alliances and challenging antifeminist movements emerges. Feminist engagements around these hashtags are a site of concrete resistance against online misogyny as well as its material manifestations through femicide. In a context where antifeminist movements see digital spaces as sites to mobilize antifeminist sentiment, paying attention to digital feminist counterpublics is critical to understanding gender justice and freedom.

女权主义数字反公众：在肯尼亚和南非挑战杀戮女性

当厌女症导致越来越多的女性被谋杀时会发生什么，因为她们的尊严受到攻击，她们的生命被认为不值得？当反女权主义者的强烈反对在政治、政策和社会空间中出现以扭转和挑战女权主义进步的全球性时刻，女权主义者会做什么？愤怒发生。本文探讨了愤怒在 Twitter 上非洲女权主义数字反公众发展中的作用。通过两个 Twitter 主题标签 #MenAreTrash 和 #JusticeForSharon，我阐明了肯尼亚和南非杀害女性率不断上升所引发的愤怒如何促进了 Twitter 上女权主义社区的知识、团结和抵抗的演变。这篇文章中描述的愤怒被认为与国家和男性盟友不回应的长期倦怠和疲劳有关。通过这些数字空间，出现了建立联盟和挑战反女权运动的过程。围绕这些标签的女权主义活动是一个具体抵制在线厌女症及其通过杀害女性的物质表现形式的网站。在反女权主义运动将数字空间视为动员反女权主义情绪的场所的背景下，关注数字女权主义反公众对于理解性别正义和自由至关重要。围绕这些标签的女权主义活动是一个具体抵制在线厌女症及其通过杀害女性的物质表现形式的网站。在反女权主义运动将数字空间视为动员反女权主义情绪的场所的背景下，关注数字女权主义反公众对于理解性别正义和自由至关重要。围绕这些标签的女权主义活动是一个具体抵制在线厌女症及其通过杀害女性的物质表现形式的网站。在反女权主义运动将数字空间视为动员反女权主义情绪的场所的背景下，关注数字女权主义反公众对于理解性别正义和自由至关重要。
