摘要

賽伯女性主義者主張，網路存在顛覆傳統父權意識、發展超脫現實世界的女性主體意識以及促成女性結盟的發展潛力。本文根據14位線上遊戲玩家之深度訪談資料，試圖論證網路之線上遊戲平台難以成為促進性別解放的空間。
研究結果顯示，線上遊戲具有娛樂取向、男性中心與身體再具體化的三個特質，並無法促成女性突破二元對立的認同模式，其衍伸的「公婆制度」反而更強化男強女弱的互動關係，因此，網路對於現實世界的父權制度具有放大、極化的扭曲作用，也因而使得原本多元化的女性特質呈現集中、單一、片面的傾向。

”Does internet emancipate women?” The answer for cyberfeminists is ”yes” but we have a doubt on it. Through interviewing 14 experienced players, this study attempts to illustrate that the online game, being an important and popular area of cyberspace, could not liberate the female. The results of the study indicate that the communicative characters of online game, including the entertaining tendency, male-center and re-embodiment, would not help females conquer the existing dualistic gender identity model. On the opposite, the extreme of patriarchal distortion on gender formulation in online interaction is reinforced.
