Faced with this phenomenon, it was used the methodological theories about Speech Analysis in the view of Orlandi (2003) and Foucault (1988; 2014) as reflexive support to comprehend through the content shared in those pages the influence over time in the positions of power to built femininity and masculinity roles. For this purpose, this research went to tackle the root of the issue: which are the aims from those women and fan pages in democratizing access to the feminist agenda through the new dynamics provided by networks.
