Verbale Aggression
Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch Verbale Aggression

Abstract

There are many scientific studies dealing with the differences in aggressive behavior between men and women. Women are said to be tentatively less aggressive. In contrast, verbal interaction in Social Media, such as Facebook or WhatsApp, reveal no such differences. The World Wide Web seems to offer optimal preconditions for releasing rage and anger which is crucial for considerations in terms of gender identity. Firstly, an overview over forms of female aggression is given. Furthermore, an instruction for identifying linguistic aggression potential is offered. In this context a spectrum of aggressive expressions is introduced on the basis of social media data. The paper is to be considered as prelude of a vivid interdisciplinary discussion focusing on gender constructions “The biggest myth, which is likely to be in service of mens’ traditionally dominant role, is that women are not aggressive.” (Paul/Baenninger 1991: 433)
