Oh Sheila, what a great conversation! You are right that our mothers and grandmothers are why we can vote and wny we get 85% of a man's salary instead of 50%.

But at the same time, we can vote because women actually protested and threw rocks through windows and lined up around the white house.

BLM moved the needle becauise people got out in the streets and filmed police with cameras.

I'm not sure writing articles on the internet is the same. Before #metoo a woman was raped every 2 minutes in America. After #metoo a woman is still raped every 2 minutes in America.

The internet has done many good things. But one thing it's also done is increase the amount of performative activism. So the real question becomes are we doing things that vent frustration or actually affect change?
