In order to further define my intervention and the results of the current analysis, I conducted a questionnaire. I have received 17 responses so far.
As the survey was completed, I could sense from the participants’ feedback that the current online and social environment is oppressive in terms of shaping one’s individuality. Almost all of the participants had experiences of forcing themselves to make changes and compromises in order to fit in with others. They unconsciously considered the mainstream views of society when they wanted to shape and express their individuality, talent and ability. These participants were not unaware of and tired of the effects of this gaze. However, it is often difficult for them to escape this influence. Moreover, this influence is not gender specific and people of all genders are subliminally influenced by the products of a patriarchal society.
