ABSTRACT This study analyzes manifestations of sexism shared through blog posts Academic Men Explain Things to Me. Describes the blog and presents the concept of information sharing as a specific type of informational practice performed on digital platforms. It correlates the concepts of epistemologies of the South to the conception of digital humanities, information sharing, having as interpretive reference the epistemological contributions coming from the South.

It conceptualizes such categories and identifies them quantita-qualitatively through the presentation of the results of the analyzes of the last 176 posts. Identifies the predominance of the category Physical and intellectual disability in posts. It concludes that the symbolic violence identified in the blog posts are the product of sexist manifestations of different natures.
