So, on Twitter, they have 'trends' and if you write something with the # symbol followed by the keyword for the trend, your messages will appear in a group and people can find them easily. And one of these trends is #notetofemales. It's so insulting!! Most of the messages are guys saying things like, "You're all bitches!" and "Don't compare me to your last boyfriend"or "If I can't get it up it's your fault for being ugly." If the messages aren't like that, they're all about "He's just not that into you" or "If he loves you he'll make time for you." Either way, almost all of the messages are about women's relationships with men. This is so sexist and demeaning! What about a note to females that is encouraging? Encourage women in their daily lives, careers, and confidence, not just in their connections with men.
Now, not every single message in the trend is like this. There's the occasional message, usually written by a female, that encourages women not to center their lives around men. But overall, this Twitter trend is really gross. Where's the #notetomales? Or better yet, where's the #notetohumanswhoaremorethanjustanothermemberinagendercategory? Too long? Maybe. But still, it's so disgusting to watch people participate in such gross gender stereotyping.
