Under the hashtag #yesallwomen, a litany of complaints and outrages have swept across the Twittersphere. Within hours, the hashtag was trending internationally. Women raged against the violence that was to threaten them and keep them in line; men (for the most part) offered their solidarity and support, while urging others to read the rolling timeline of tweets regardless of how challenging and uncomfortable they might prove to be.

One of the most retweeted pictures under the #yesallwomen tag was a meme that’s been floating around for some time now. It perfectly illustrates the troubling cognitive dissonance that comes with according value to a woman based on her male connections.

 

 

Smh, since they got #killallmen trending.

Smoke meth. Hail Satan. Watch the yearly Twilight Zone marathons. Talk to dead people. Everyone is gay. Ignore people. Live life to the fullest.

Ah yes, since one male psychopath killed women, all men should die...

This trend needs to die.

I read through the posts, and 99% were completely not good. The other 1% were kind of slightly true but completely uninspiring.

All in all this feels way too tumblr-ish, and there's a reason I didn't sign up for tumblr.


WAR IS PEACE

FREEDOM IS SLAVERY

IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

Garbage like this is why I do not get the human race and garbage like this makes me less inclined to try to understand.

People think anytime some bad rainbow happens they think they are warriors banding together because they can do this #somebullsnot

 

It's nothing more than being a herd of morons being selfish trying to make something that had nothing to do with them be about them and notice how a bunch of them have avatars of themselves at wierd angles. They are so enlightended and young and smart..yeah about as much as a wet dookie. A keyboard is not place thinking you have some entitled empowerment on the world. Just makes you a dumbass douche.
