"Most people have a general understanding of disinformation — false information
that is intentionally created to cause harm. Disinformation becomes “gendered”
when deliberately false information draws on common understandings of issues
like masculinity, femininity and sexual violence.
Although gender-based disinformation does not receive as much attention as
race-based disinformation, it’s particularly dangerous because it taps into
deep-seated beliefs about our own identities.
Narratives about gender identity are also harder to fact-check than simple true
or false stories.
As the Democratic Convention gets underway in Chicago, Vice President Kamala
Harris is increasingly vulnerable to gender-based disinformation campaigns — if
she isn’t already a victim of them."
