In the online reaction to the tragedy, nothing has matched the conversation that began with a simple hashtag, #YesAllWomen. The hashtag is a response to a “Not all men” meme that’s surfaced over the past few months. “Not all men” is an objection that’s used to dismiss the issue of violence against women and misogyny in society, simply because not all men are like that. Turning that language around with #yesallwomen refocuses the conversation on the fact that all women, at some point, face objectification. This occurs on a daily basis, but stories about women who are victims of domestic violence or street harassment don’t attract national attention. ~LA
