Abstract

This paper uses textual analysis to focus on women’s specific expressions on marriage issues on social media platforms and to explore the gender consciousness behind women’s discourse from a gender perspective. It is found that women’s views on marriage present a strong sense of self-gender equality in the private sphere of discourse where women’s discourse is empowered by the online community represented by the Douban group; and that a collective identity on the concept of marriage has been further formed within the women’s group.
