It’s my turn! No other chance to survive!

 

Based on potentials offered by anonymity within online interactions, free from rigid circumstance of gendering, an oppositional belief which reveals that the main effort in cyber communications was to make an assessment of other users’ genders. “Emplacing” and “Engendering” could be marked as the most central factors within online interactions. In the other words, the users’ desire to engender other users, clearly demonstrates the struggle to address “material” specification of users’ lives. The anonymous freedom to ‘try on’ genders or sexualities without social recourse is often cited as one of the most liberating dimensions of life online; however, a user may reify and enact stereotypes, thereby reinforcing the normative understandings of gender and sexuality.

To conclude, ‘the metaphoric construct of cyberspace as separate space underlies and supports the claim of difference or sameness, in each case at the expense of cyberspace as experienced by its real-life users. This denies the embodied spatiality of cyberspace users, who are situated in both spaces at once. It also overlooks the complex interplay between real-space geographies of power and their cyberspace equivalents’[1].
