The feminist hashtag #YesAllWomen started on Saturday in response to the mass shooting at UC Santa Barbara, and it continued to trend into Sunday.
Now, a hashtag for both sexes, #YesAllPeople, is trending nationally:
A few examples from supporters of the hashtag:
#YesAllWomen feels so tit for tat. I have been violated, emotionally, physically, or verbally by both sexes.#YesAllPeople?

Why are people against the #YesAllPeople hashtag?? Equality for all, no?

This #YesAllWomen thread has become nothing more than another male bashing session. It's disgusting & just as wrong! #YesAllPeople

Feminism is great but remember it works both sides. Women are not the only victims of rape culture #yesallwomen #YesAllPeople

#YesAllWomen because men co-opted this and started #YesAllPeople to make it about them

Now #YesAllPeople is trending because even when women are the topic, men have to somehow make it about them!

Shout out to the heroes of #YesAllPeople for realizing that tragedy and weaponized misogyny is really about your old weird-dicked grievance.

#YesAllWomen b/c we can't have a discussion about the oppression of women or people of color w/out including their oppressors #YesAllPeople

#YesAllWomen bc #YesAllPeople is hilariously perfect proof of exactly how androcentrism works. Could not have made that up if I's tried.

#YesAllPeople Because, God forbid, we let women talk about experiences men cannot understand without trying to make it all about ourselves.
