Hey all! Its been a while, but with my semester coming to an end, were about to nose dive into a lot of blogs! To start, I wanted to give some background to what I'm going to be doing. I am going to take a look at a post on social media and break it down based off a question I want to answer about it.
Now that you have the broad idea, you may be wondering, "What post will she look at?", What question will she ask?", "how is she going to draw out data?", and if you weren't wondering that its no worries, I'm sure you've already stopped reading at this point 😉.
To start, I wanted to look at the NCAA Women's March Madness Fiasco. If you haven't heard about it let me show you the original post by @kershner.ali on Instagram.
Above is an image of first the Men's weight room compared to the Women's weight room at the NCAA Men’s Basketball tournament vs. Women’s Basketball tournament. Needless to say there are some HUGE differences!! I personally don't have any connection to basketball, but I have been a volleyball player since I was 6 years old, and this is definitely a slap to the face in terms of equal opportunity in sports.
So what question am I asking? I want to know if people feel like they can't voice their opinion on social media in fear of being "canceled" by Cancel Culture, specifically men. And, is there any evidence of that from this post?
Now to my methods. This post currently has 3,641 comments, so I want to sample at least 100 of them with a variety of comments from early, middle, and late comments. I want to see if the narrative changed as the original comments added up.
In conclusion, I will be analyzing this trending social media post to see how fans reacted to the weight room discrepancies at the March Madness Tournaments through random selection of 100 comments from throughout the post in an effort to find any correlation between sex and number of comments.
