With the reference of the self-identity theory, this exploratory and qualitative research using the survey result of Online Fieldwork and case analysis aims to explain the reason why"Tong Ren Nv"emerge and exist in network and tries to comprehend the formation and interactive characteristics of network groups with similar interests. Through the study we hope to understand this new group better. Besides, this group to some extent reflects the character and style of modernity. It also provides a particular angle of view on self-identity theory and feminism theory.And the study finds out that it is against the background of modernity and the culture situations in which network and all kinds of city subgroups growing prosperously."Tong Ren Nv"group emerges as an Internet Interest-related group. To respond the self-identity crisis and sex-identity crisis along with the coming of modernity Internet Interest-related group constructs a new identity during the leisure activities. This identity can be achieved by varied of avenues; however, leisure is the key point. Culture of"Tanbi"is in fact a interest of leisure with no essential difference among other Internet Interest-related group. Concentrating into groups,"Tong Ren Nv"constructs self-identities separately during the interacting on-line and the identities in turn strengthen their relationships. Group supplies them oneness, affirmation, and intimacy which is helpful to construct identities. What is more, the character of network meets their need of seeking for pure relationship.Based on the above findings, in the Post-feminist Time of gender identity crisis, with the modernity about "the liberation to the life politics"by Giddens, this study in-depth analysis the subversion between the sexes on"to see and to be seen"by"Tong Ren Nv"group. If the relationship between the sexes is political, then the performance of"Tong Ren Nv"group is a potential process of the Life Politics. But the significance of this life politic in the end is difficult to predict. And compared to the great ideal of the liberation of women, it's likely a choice of a weaker one.
