“Net-Moms”: A New Place and A New Identity
Parenting Discussion Forums on the Internet in China
Gan Wang
?
Discussion forums, also called Broadcasting Bulletin Boards (BBS), are an important means of sharing ideas, opinions and information on the Internet. Often specified in certain themes, they attracted people of similar minds. In the recent years, there have emerged some active parenting discussion forums on the Internet in China. Whether being professionals, white-collars, or home-makers, most of the participants of the discussion forums are young mothers with higher education and income to have access to the Internet. Through the discussion forums, they share information important to themselves and their children, exchange experiences in their new lives, make friends of similar minds, and organize various kinds of activities in real life.
Ever since the emergence of the Internet, there have been discussions about the identity issues on the Internet. In previous face-to-face interactions, people infer others’ identities from clothes, body language, accent, or other cues. But on the Internet, many such cues can be easily hided or changed. Therefore, it would be difficult for people to guess others’ identities in conventional ways.
In the earlier years of the Internet, the possibility of identity play in the virtual space was highlighted, exemplified by Peter Steiner’s popular cartoon: “On the Internet, nobody knows you are a dog.” (Steiner, 1993) Identities on the Internet were seen as malleable, with unlimited possibilities. But later commentators pointed out the danger of cutting off online identities from their offline context. Agre called our attention to “the Internet’s embedding in the social world”. He argues that “…so long as we focus on the limited areas of the Internet where people engage in fantasy play that is intentionally disconnected from their real-world identities, we miss how social and professional identities are continuous across several media
