People have different understandings of the social problems that surround them. Some groups of people see certain phenomena in society as social problems and believe that society is unhealthy, others do not see these problems, but they talk about those social problems that the first ones, in their opinion, do not want to notice. This study examines how social problems are constructed in feminist and antifeminist groups, which take sometimes completely opposite positions on how society should work. The object of the research is feminist and antifeminist online communities in Russia.
