Responding to and enacting the political potential of pain inflicted in acts of sexual harassment violence and abuse Asian American and Asian Canadian feminist icons such as rupi kaur Margaret Cho and Mia Matsumiya have turned to social media to share their stories with the world. But how does such activism reconcile with the platforms on which it is being cultivated when its radical messaging is at total odds with the neoliberal logic governing social mediaPain Generation troubles this phenomenon by articulating a neoliberal selfie gaze through which these feminist activistssee and storify the self on social media as good neoliberal subjects who are appealing inspiring and entertaining. This book offers a fresh perspective on feminist activism by demonstrating how the problematic neoliberal logic governing digital spaces like and limits the possibilities of how one might use social media for feminist activism.
