TikTok's Contribution
One of the many ways in which the fourth-wave feminist movement has been bolstered is with the help of social media and specifically, TikTok. A video hosting app, TikTok is a platform where things can easily go viral. Many pop -culture feminist moments are highlighted in videos and earn millions of likes within mere hours. It fosters a space where individuals can amplify feminist discourse, challenge societal norms, and advocate for gender equality. Through short videos, users can share personal experiences, critique gender stereotypes, and spread awareness about pressing feminist issues such as body positivity, consent, and intersectionality. The algorithm on the app prioritizes content based on engagement, rather than popularity which allows marginalized voices to be heard. Furthermore, the app’s emphasis on creativity encourages users to embrace their identities and ideas, contributing to the diversification of feminist narratives and fostering  solidarity among users of different backgrounds. TikTok serves as a tool for fourth-wave feminism, empowering users to engage in conversations, challenge patriarchal structures, and advocate for a more inclusive and equal society.
