The Internet became a forum for men and women alike to express their opinions on this issue — and thus, the #YesAllWomen hashtag was born. Many of the posts attacked misogyny and got to the root of the argument in a matter of hours. Over one million #YesAllWomen tweets quickly circulated their way to Facebook, Buzzfeed, and other forms of social media in an effort to stop the violence against women. I personally spent hours looking at these posts, and took an even longer time to select a few for general reading.
With this post, Dubreuil shows that feminist tweets aren’t aiming to attack men, but to educate them about the struggles that every woman faces at least once in her life. The excessive violence that is committed daily against women is only fueled by ignorance and silence.
If this is your first time reading about the #YesAllWomen hashtag, I encourage you to turn to your loved ones and start a discussion. Every conversation brings us that much closer to making the world a safer place.
