Abstract

Since the 2000s, social media has begun to have an important place in the lives of individuals. However, gender roles and gender perceptions that we encounter in daily life continue to be influential in these media as well. Communities in social media environments are an area where individuals have the opportunity to express themselves culturally, politically, artistically, entertainmently and socially by bringing together many individuals from different walks of life. Due to this feature, Facebook groups, the world's largest social networking site and Ekşi Sözlük particularly in Turkey, constitute the data universe of the study. Within the scope of the aforementioned data set, 5014 comments from 10 different automobile Facebook groups and Ekşi Sözlük messages, which contain the subject of "female driver", "male driver", "traffic" were scanned with a critical perspective and content analysis method. All comments made by users from 2015 to 2020 and the user profiles that made these comments were examined. In this context, it has been observed that traditional gender roles are at the forefront in the comments of the posts made in the Facebook groups and the posts of Ekşi Sözlük.
