California killer's
misogynist rants inspire #YesAllWomen
While his crimes have
reignited a debate over gun control and
mental health care, his misogynistic language has sparked discussion about the
continuing sexism women face each day.
Thousands of women have
used Twitter to express their solidarity in response to Rodger's hate-filled
rants that led to him killing four men and two women Friday night.
The hashtag #YesAllWomen
was used more than 1 million times since Saturday when people got a closer look
into the killer's thoughts in the journal and a YouTube video he posted the day
before his attacks.
Since it started, there
are tweets about rape, feminism, harassment and women's rights with the same
hashtag.
"There was a
familiarity in that language that really hit home for a lot of women who live
with this implicit threat of danger all the time," the founder of THEli.st, Rachel Sklar, told CNN. "There is just an extra
layer of danger implicit in being a woman that this really taps into."
