men can run the world, but women are always fun in social networks to push back against sexism in mainstream culture,
For Hilary Bowman-Smart, the latest in a long list of evidence that suggests that women must change their behavior to prevent sexual violence was the last straw.
last week, Bowman-Smart, a student based in Melbourne and describes # feministkilljoy, did not hesitate to parody a tweet that she thought it was nonsense advice.
Soon # safetytipsforladies was shared by thousands of women who have chosen to use Twitter (and sense of humor) to push back against what they perceive as ignorance about of sexual violence - specifically, how they perpetrated and who is to blame.
And what began as a humble hashtag (now viral) Twitter Tumblr past artist Liz Chesterman created artwork done around some of the tweets and posted on his blog.
"I think the reason I went on Twitter (quite unexpected for me) is that it allows us to express a huge frustration for women to be told how to prevent rapists, rather than rapists are advised not to violate, "Smart-Bowman told the Guardian.
- And last year, Twitter has exploded with # FlushRush after Shock Jock Rush Limbaugh called law student Sandra Fluke a "prostitute" after testifying before Congress about the need for contraception mandate in the health care law Obama.
This is why seemingly small, individual acts of sexism - that innocent jokes dongle - Material. These "micro-aggressions" combine to strengthen the structural sexism. ARM and ordinary geeks expressing similar attitudes can not be radical activists ... but they are radical advocates of the status quo.
