Informal Presentation - Hashtag #YesAllWomen

Today I want to talk about my hashtag #YesAllWomen.

Firstly, I want to state the causes.

l   “2014 Isla Vista Killings” : happening in California that left six people dead and thirteen others wounded. The killer was a young man named Elliot Rodger. The reason why he kills so many people was girls have never been attracted to him – misogyny ( is the hatred or dislike of women or girls).

l   After the news was announced, people found a video on YouTube about the killer. He said he knew the video will be his last, but he never regret. He wants to make all the women punished. The video brought about a big discussion online.

l   #NotAllMen (shortened hashtag version of not all men like that). In the wake of the killings, some Twitter users made the argument that "not all men" are like this, or would commit such crimes.

l   Followed by the hashtag #NotAllMen, #AllForWomen is a hashtag designed for women to tell their own stories & experience and protect their benefit.

Secondly, I want to explain my hashtag.

l   #YesAllWomen is a Twitter hashtag and social media campaign in which users (especially women) share examples or stories of misogyny and violence against women. The campaign attempted to raise awareness of sexism that women experience, often from people they know.

l   Effect: A. Attention: This hashtag made people pay attention to women’s benefit.

B. Call to action: Setting off anguished conversation about the treatment of women online and in reality.

C. Help women raise the awareness of self-protecting.

Thirdly, I would like to state my understanding of the cause and effect relationship.

Response to “Growing Up with Two Moms”

        The author shared her different childhood including experience and emotions with readers. Her true feeling and the process of attitudes changing shocked me, made me moved.

        Obviously, though the topic about homosexual could be accepted more easily than before, it is also sensitive for somebody, let alone your mother is a gay people. I can understand the author’s feeling.   Adolescence has the rebellious phase in puberty and loses confidence easily. The fact that “I have two moms” broken something of her values, so she wanted to hide the truth to make the life surface as before. Actually, I think she knew the surface clam wouldn’t sustain for a long time. In another hand, the mom “Barb” was a really nice and friendly person, in addition to she was a woman.           
        But it’s unfair. We can’t deny that “Barb” was a competent parent. For a family, the most important thing is love rather than gender. Homosexual should be treated equally. They also should have normal life and have right to choose their own life. The families members all feel happy, that’s enough!
