Funny this should come up. In a liberal group we belong to, a fellow liberal feminist posted that she had to ban some angry feminists from her page for posting?a viral meme that became popular during the #YesAllWomen campaign. My fellow liberal is happily married. I’m happily single. We don’t hate men.
Most of us in the group agreed with her. As it turns out, so does the Factual Feminist.
What angered my friend was that one of her readers posted this graphic that was originally shared by Upworthy on their Tumblr page. It went viral and became a sort of symbol for the #YesAllWomen movement. The short message apparently struck a chord with women.
From the video description:
#YesAllWomen received a tremendous amount of attention in the wake of the Isla Vista killings, but the facts did not. The Factual Feminist looks at the numbers behind the hashtag, and reveals some surprising data that shows you may have been misled.
The Factual Feminist attacks the graphic with facts and statistics. She compares the message in that graphic to bigotry and stereotyping.
I agree.?Can we not uplift women without demonizing men? Please?
