Abstract
Over the last few decades, some of the most defining sociological changes involve communications, especially in the permeation of information technologies and its effects in all areas of life. However, does this virtual world replicate the same problems of the real world? This article investigates the characteristics of violence in the Net and in other sociological areas. First, it analyses the traces of patriarchal culture that overlook or even justify violence against women. Secondly, it addresses the fact, two parallel realms coexist in the virtual one: the potential benefits in many fields on one hand, and the development of erotic/pornographic networks and their related products and services on the other.
