Feminism: Essential Reading

Was the Twitter boycott an appropriate response to the online threats prominent women were receiving?
In my opinion, I think that the Twitter boycott was a stupid approach, as it didn't last long enough for it to make an impact on others. It got the attention of a few people, and they didn't tweet for a day, but they were tweeting the next day. So, it didn't seem to make a large impact. 


Should Twitter have done more in response to those threats?
Twitter receive a large amount of reports every day, and Twitter is used by a large amount of people, so it does take time for them to go through all the complaints and reports. 

Should young women in 2013 take an interest in feminism? Do young women need to 'reclaim' feminism?

I think that young women should take an interest in feminism. As women aren't treated the same as men in some areas. For example, in Parliament there are very few female politicians, and some women are paid less than men depending on what job it is. 

Why has the internet been effective in feminist campaigns?
The internet has been effective in feminist campaigns, as there are hundreds of thousands people using the internet everyday, and people can find out about events like campaigns very quickly. The internet allows feminists to get together and get recognised by the rest of the world. 

What is your opinion on page 3 of the Sun still featuring a half-naked young woman in 2013?
I think that page 3 of the sun is pointless. It just encourages men to think that women are there to please them, and can use them to their own advantage. However, it gives women power to control men and it allows women to feel more comfortable with their bodies.
