This paper reveals the features of hashtag feminism, which has been evaluated as a form of social movement. The content of twitter posts including "#Don'tBeSilent", "Period Poverty", and "Marriage with Separate Surnames" were text analyzed using KH Coder. The results showed that (1) Many posts strongly criticized a position different from his/her own in very clear sentences, (2) They were accompanied by seemingly reasonable reasons, and (3) On Twitter, there is no constructive discussion on controversial subjects. Therefore, it was suggested that discourse activities conducted in the digital space are to assert one's own position in an orderly manner.
