Abstract
Feminism is a complex phenomenon that has evolved in recent times. We can see it through different optics such as social media or traditional media. The aim of this project is to analyze, descriptively, how it has grown on a platform like YouTube. We are using new computer techniques and trying to understand how the concept evolves. Hence, in this paper, we will provide a language analysis that examines deliberative frameworks and online roles. Our study focuses on adding new methods that offer insights into the Digital Agora. The main outcomes show that the deliberation on YouTube, with regard to Spanish Feminism, has received an important and enormous increase especially since 2016, revealing two possible souls within that debate.
