Possibly one of the biggest hashtags which has come out of Twitter over recent times...
However, has the #YesAllWomen argument been done in the best way? Attention from the shootings in Santa Barbara seems to have switched from the tragedy of the loss of life, to the attitudes that the gun men held about women. It wasn't only women who were killed, but the killing of the three men has been brushed aside.
Will society change? Does it need to change, or are extreme gender views only held by a minority? Thoughts? :chin:

Before Saturday night I thought my height and my being overweight would be enough for me to not get harassed in the street. It hasn't happened for years. I was wrong. I can only imagine how terrifying that would be for someone smaller than me.

Best to avoid these IMO.
