The dichotomy between media and gender is also apparent on social media when it comes to political issues. A study into Twitter has shown that women tweet more aggressively than men during electoral voting periods. This difference in gender behaviour can be viewed as a positive in feminist movements for change, such as that in the referendum to appeal Ireland's eighth amendment. In this case, gender issues were brought to the forefront of social media as a way to transgress politics and push traditionally private female issues into the public. With feminist grassroots organisations, such as TogetherForYes, using social media as their primary tool to communicate about abortion laws, the referendum result is viewed as victory for feminist tweeters and a positive outcome of utilising gender effectively on social media.
