BORDINI, Gabriela Sagebin  y  SPERB, Tania Mara. Gender and sexuality in a virtual discussion about the slut walk. Temas psicol. [online]. 2015, vol.23, n.4, pp. 859-871. ISSN 1413-389X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.9788/TP2015.4-05.

In the occidental world, the concepts of gender and sexuality are historically linked. Traditionally, different meanings are associated to men's and women's sexualities, including the idea that man and woman are a pair with opposite characteristics and behaviors that complement one another. Nevertheless, gender and sexuality are cultural and historical constructions, permanently under development, unstable and temporary. Thus, the present work aims at investigating the negotiation of meanings associated to men's and women's sexualities, nowadays, by college students in a virtual environment. With this aim, we analyzed comments to a text on the Slut Walk, published in a blog which is mostly accessed by college students from the south of Brazil. We identified the use of different repertoires by college students to interpret women's sexualities and, therefore, men's sexuality, revealing both traditional and atypical meanings related to sexualities.

Palabras clave : Gender; sexuality; internet; interpretative repertoires; young adults.
