Rebecca Solnit Quote
Jenny Chiu tweeted, Sure #NotAllMen are misogynists and rapists. That’s not the point. The point is that #YesAllWomen live in fear of the ones that are. Women—and men (but mostly women)—said scathing things brilliantly. • #YesAllWomen because I can’t tweet about feminism without getting threats and perverted replies. Speaking out shouldn’t scare me. • #YesAllWomen because I’ve seen more men angry at the hashtag rather than angry at the things happening to women. • #YesAllWomen because if you’re too nice to them you’re leading them on & if you’re too rude you risk violence. Either way you’re a bitch.
