Tweeting about sexism good for the soul: study

GENDER EQUALITY TOOL: Twitter could have important benefits for women in how they deal with sexism, according to a new study.

When it comes to sexism, women experience increased well-being when they express themselves on Twitter, according to a new study from Wilfrid Laurier University in Canada. 

"We know women can be badly affected by experiences of sexism and that responding publically can be stressful and risky," says Dr Mindi Foster of WLU. "This study examined whether using Twitter to respond to sexism could be done in a public way without any negative effects to their wellbeing."
