We’re pretty sure Steve Marmel MEANT well with his idea to amplify women on Twitter …
Tomorrow, On 9/12, I will only be retweeting women on twitter. I hope you join me and help #AmplifyWomen

But then it went downhill PRETTY quickly.
As @HillaryClinton's book is released and people want to silence her and her followers, i will do otherwise. #AmplifyWomen #WhatHappened /2

Oh, this is a Hillary Clinton thing.
Figures.
Does Marmel REALLY think we haven’t heard enough from Hillary and Leftist women?
The effort to silence female voices on Twitter is relentless. So on 9/12 I'm going to #JustListen and #AmplifyWomen /3

We ‘hear’ plenty of female voices on Twitter; wondering if he will be retweeting Conservative female voices as well.
Political coverage. iPhone coverage. Jokes. In respect to #WhatHappened I will, without comment, only #AmplifyWomen.
Dudes. Join me?

Huh.
Again, not a horrible idea conceptually BUT then a ‘women’s advocate’ had to segregate broads into various labels which is of course what the Left likes to do …
Upping my friend Steve to challenge us all to look at the voices we consume every day and be sure there are plenty of women, PoC, LGBTQ. https://t.co/UNv79wWNxP

Notice, no mention of pro-life or Conservative women.
Not that Conservative women were overly impressed with this idea anyway:

Assuming these voices will only be RT'd as long as you don't engage in wrongthink.

Because women need special help. ? If they were that good they wouldn't need a "special day". https://t.co/BbiNWBoCfy

#AmplifyWomen sounds like a pushup bra…

HA!
I'm just saying, I don't need a A damn hashtag, made popular by a man, to be heard or to accomplish what I want. #AmplifyWomen

Again, we get what Marmel was trying to do and though misguided it seems his intention wasn’t hurtful.
Are we assuming gender here ?

That being said, even a few Liberal women were pissy with him about this hashtag.
This is so bloody condescending. #AmplifyWomen
