• TITLE: Because She Has a Younger Husband: Critically Examining the Facebookers’ Comments Responding to Domestic Violence against a Famous Cambodian Actress

  AUTHORS: Vannak Dom

  KEYWORDS: Cambodia, Gender, Domestic Violence, Actress, Karma, Divorce

  ABSTRACT: This paper is an attempt to explore and understand how SNS users responded to domestic violence against one Cambodian actress. Specially, I examined their comments whether they expressed sympathetic feelings toward her, or blaming her karma/fate, or suggesting divorce. To answer these questions, I used the semantic analysis by debunking socioeconomic backgrounds of the respondents, except gender identity that was identified. This study has found that the majority of men blamed the victim, Karma and the majority of women recommended the victim a divorce and legal assistance, indicating that men still have a strong patriarchal ideology, but women are now more likely to rely on the modern legal system.
