I am a 15-year-old girl. Let me show you the vile misogyny that confronts me on social media every day

116. Come together with other mothers, fathers, daughters AND sons

Take action. Call a community meeting. Brainstorm resistance. Group therapy.

Better than just paying for expensive psychotherapy for the daughter alone. Or later when she seeks it out for herself when she becomes an abused and fearful adult. This is systemic child abuse and will have a major effect on vulnerable girls for their entire lives. They will grow up feeling alternating anger and hopelessness. It's not healthy for boys either. It is a grave wrong to teach children to put up with abuse from society--to be taught at a young age that they are inferior because of their skin color, gender, sexual orientation, economic condition, etc. This has been hurting all of us for a long time. Passivity now is not an option. It just sends the old message in a new and even more brutal way--the message that girls just have to put up with abuse and boys rule. Have to work to bring about change in this as in everything else.

Easy for Moms to look the other way and coo to the girls that they should "just ignore." Easy for Dads to pretend it doesn't exist.

Everybody Stop Ignoring-- is the bottom line.
