Your Feminist Future

#YesAllWomen can become crazy cat ladies! A Wisconsin woman who was charged with stealing back 15 cats from the Humane Society was arrested for violating the conditions of her bond.

Sexual Assault at UT-Austin

#YesAllWomen (in Texas): “Campus police questioned two University of Texas football players as part of a sexual assault investigation,” involving an incident that allegedly “happened early Saturday morning in the San Jacinto Residence Hall.” Then there is this sentence: According to the university’s most recent security report, victims reported nine on-campus sexual assaults in 2012.

The Creepy Little Weirdo

  The #YesAllWomen hashtag went viral in the aftermath of killings perpetrated last month by Elliot Rodger. Like so much contemporary feminism, #YesAllWomen was a non sequitur.
