Feminist hashtag #YesAllWomen took off Saturday in response to the mass shooting at UC Santa Barbara and continued to trend nationally into Sunday.
#YesAllWomen is the top worldwide trend on Twitter right now.

Here is a dose of the hyper-feminism it displayed.
This #YesAllWomen trend really scares me. If it's bad now, how much worse will it be when I have my own kids?

Everyone should keep up with the #YesAllWomen trend. True liberation for both sexes. Stop victimizing and start respecting.

#YesAllWomen because being an independent woman is something we have to explain and defend. But an independent man is expected and respected

#YesAllWomen being the lowest paid manager and one who actually "managed" because I am not a man

Same old story: Men are evil, and women must be liberated.

Take a moment tonight to read #YesAllWomen for your mother, your sister and your friends.

Or maybe read something that actually pertains to liberty for women like, you know, the Constitution.

If I had to explain to an old person the societal value in Twitter, I might start with #YesAllWomen. Read it and think about it.

Fortunately, the progressive ridiculousness did not go unchecked. Conservatives chimed in with many great responses.
Attn men on twitter- on behalf of women who think for themselves (ya' know, conservatives) I rebuke the whining on the #YesAllWomen tag. Thx

#YesAllWomen do not live in a safe, perfect world, but millions of men have given their lives trying to make it so for them.

And whenever conservatives dare suggest that women should arm themselves, the Left has a meltdown.
