However, it is also a space that enables hate, abuse, public shaming, and discrimination (MacPherson &amp; Kerr, 2021). In this presentation, gendered abuse towards elite, high-profile women in strength sports (i.e., powerlifting, CrossFit, strongman, Olympic lifting and bodybuilding) is explored, utilising semi-structured interviews with a number of athletes. Findings demonstrate various types of gendered abuse experienced by women, from appearance-related comments and unsolicited advice to the more extreme forms of abuse a such as death threats and threats of sexual violence. Self-surveillance and silencing strategies were also critiqued by the participants. Although these findings demonstrate deep-rooted problems surrounding sexism and misogyny that go further than social media, it is also argued that platforms such as Instagram have a responsibility to tackle these issues, and their policies currently do not do enough to prevent abuse towards women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Speaker biography:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Catherine is a prize-winning researcher and Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Sport, Health and Social Sciences at Solent University.
