LERMEN, Helena Salgueiro  e  CUNICO, Sabrina Daiana. Analysis of news comments about violence against women. Estud. psicol. (Natal) [online]. 2018, vol.23, n.1, pp.78-88. ISSN 1413-294X.  https://doi.org/10.22491/1678-4669.20180009.

Several were advances in the legal field with regard to combating gender violence. However, media news attesting the occurrence of cases of aggression against women is still frequent. This paper aimed to analyze, through critical discourse analysis, netizens' comments posted in response to news that deal with these cases, broadcasted in two Brazilian news portals. From this analysis, we concluded that the changes in legislation on violence against women do not seem to be accompanied by changes in gender paradigms. In general, this is because victims' blaming was then followed by the minimization of the aggressions practiced by men, revealing how women are still seen as objects and men's properties. This situation points to the need to develop state actions that are sustained by changing gender asymmetries.
