Anita Sarkeesian is feminist video blogger and activist who focuses on women in popular culture and their associations with tropes. She maintains a YouTube channel, which has had more than one million views. She also blogs for Bitch Magazine under the name of FeministFrequency and also has her own website. Her videos have been part of university Women's Studies' courses.

Sarkeesian earned a bachelors degree in Communication Studies from California State University-Northridge in 2007 and a Master’s degree in Social and Political Thought from York University in 2010.

A great deal of her viewers participially if they already hate feminism accuse her of being a female eccentric misandrist that finds everything misogynistic and nothing misandric and hates and blames the entire male gender for women's oppression even if they are supporting women's rights. She denies such an accusation but many refuse to believe her and also accuse those who claim to believe her to also be lying that there not misandrist due to their boycott of the movement being to strong.
