Critical discourse analysis describes the language used to reveal the meaning in the BBC newspaper text online. The findings indicate that while the BBC's online newspapers reported the existence of gender symmetry and stereotype abusers during the pandemic experienced by women, the BBC's online newspapers were able and courageous to raise the image of women as marginalizing.
