So the problem is with these influencers and the Pepper Spray Movement as it’s not a case of Yeth and Both, Anna. These women have reach, they have power and people have small attention spans. Give their audience something easy to do, like sign this petition, they probably will and sit back and say, checked that box off, done my bit to protect women.
That action and attention needs to be supporting reform that affects real change. I don’t think anyone is saying people’s hearts weren’t in the right place. But there’s a certain level of arrogance as well as defensiveness that comes with this crowd, constantly being told they need to get a real job (lolz), that they will not be told, they will not listen and they arrogantly believe this is their seat at the table.
