#YesAllWomen has jumped the shark

Dublin Core

Title

#YesAllWomen has jumped the shark

Subject

#YesAllWomen, misogyny, Isla Vista Killings

Description

Emily Shire acknowledges that #YesAllWomen is an inspiring movement but users use the hashtag for smaller, less important incidents. She argues some of the examples of misogyny shared by users are less serious about the occurrences of violence and assault. Also, she believes tying these examples of misogyny to the Isla Vista Killings is crass and deceitful. Shire warns the #YesAllWomen movement should not put the hashtag with smaller incidents if it wants to influence people outside of twitter.
