Türkiye'de Siyasal İdeolojiler Yoluyla Üretilen Toplumsal Cinsiyet Algısı: Twitter Yorumları Üzerinden Bir İnceleme

Öz

Feminizm teorisi kadınların erkeklerle eşit haklara sahip olma talebiyle başlayan ve kadınların bireyselliklerini tanımlayan ideolojik bir olguya çevrilmiş durumdadır. Her tür grand (makro boyuttaki tüm sosyal teoriler) teori gibi ideolojik nitelikler sergiler ve diğer ideolojilerle etkileşim içerisine girmesi kaçınılmazdır. Muhafazakar ideoloji ve feminizm arasında hiç bitmeyen bir çatışma vardır. Türkiye'de, artan muhafazakarlık ile feminizm arasında ailenin ve kadınların dini ve kültürel açıdan ortaya çıkan tanımları açısından bir ayrım bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışma, kadına yönelik şiddeti önlemeyi amaçlayan ve Cumhurbaşkanlığı Twitter sayfasında yayınlanan bir video hakkındaki yorumlara içerik analizi uygulanmıştır. İçerik analizi kullanıcıların birbirine verdiği kişisel yanıtları ve argo ifade içeren söylemleri çalışma dışında bırakmıştır. Yapılan analiz sonucunda iki ayrı kutup olarak destekleyici ve eleştirel yorumlar tespit edilmiştir. Destekleyici yorumların videoyu yayınlayan siyasi partiyi desteklemediği fakat şiddete karşı birleştikleri görülmüştür. Öte yandan eleştirel yorum yapanların ilgili siyasi partiyi destekledikleri fakat feminizmin muhafazakarlığa zarar verdiği noktasında birleştikleri görülmüştür. Feminizm eleştirilerinin en fazla kadınlardan gelmesi de, çalışmanın bir diğer sonucu olmuştur.

The Produced Gender Perception through the Political Ideologies in Turkey: A Review on the Twitter Posts

Öz

The theory of feminism is translated into an ideological phenomenon that begins with women's demand for equal rights with men and defines women's individuality. Like any grand theory (all social theories in macro level), it exhibits ideological qualities and it inevitably interacts with other ideologies. There is a never-ending conflict between conservative ideology and feminism. In Turkey, there is a distinction between rising conservatism and feminism from the point of view definitions of family and women that arose from religious and cultural perspectives.This study applied content analysis to comments on video that aimed to prevent violence against women and published on the presidential twitter page. As a result of the analysis, it was found that those who wrote supporting comments did not support the conservative party but found the video correct; it was seen that those who wrote critical comments supported the relevant political party and think the feminism is damaging the conservative ideology. Another result of this study is women made the most criticism of feminism.
