Summary/Abstract: This research aims to uncover the behavioural patterns practiced through social media platforms, especially Facebook, as the most subscribed site, it provides users with freedom of expression that may deviate from its humane origin into various forms, such as symbolic social violence against others and specifically against women, through mechanisms of symbolic violence to control them. One of the findings of this research is that the virtual world merely reflects what exists in the real world, as individuals seek to control women in the virtual world through demeaning and marginalizing actions. This negatively impacts their personality dimensions and subjects them to presumed legitimacy.
