The despicably tone deaf #HimToo hashtag hilariously co-opted.

Here's an example of a #HimToo tweet:

(That's kind of a weird pose--actually it looks like he's auditioning for a revival of The Village People)

Here's an example of the brilliant comebacks:



This is MY son. He singlehandedly runs a small hotel. He's a homeowner. He knows a boy's best friend is his mother. He goes a little mad sometimes. He won't go on solo dates due to the current climate of false accusations by radical anti-shower-stabbing feminists. I VOTE. #HimToo

From: https://heavy.com/news/2018/10/pieter-hanson-him-too-himtoo-tweet/ :

A Twitter page in the name Pieter Hanson and using the handle @Thatwasmymom then clarified, “That was my Mom. Sometimes the people we love do things that hurt us without realizing it. Let’s turn this around. I respect and #BelieveWomen . I never have and never will support #HimToo . I’m a proud Navy vet, Cat Dad and Ally. Also, Twitter, your meme game is on point.”

DO but are all lives getting killed by cops with itchy trigger fingers? Or is there an inordinate amount of Black Lives getting killed for NO REASON by COPS?

Some of these old folks, need to hurry up and leave this earth - I'm sorry there is no changing their minds - that way they don't have a chance to poison the younger generation's minds with their filth. Think about some of these senators that sat on the Anita Hill hearings. They have not changed their stance since that time, even in the era of Me too. Damn shame. Sorry, some of. That might sound harsh to the ears of some folks, but yeah, they've lived a long life. Nature should take its course
