Tumblr Takes Back the Night

feminism, tumblr
Tumblr, it’s not just for cat GIFs anymore (though you should continue to reblog the cat GIFs, they’re adorable). All across the internet women have been speaking out against sexism, from the recent video calling out street harassment  to the #YesAllWomen hashtag, women are gathering online to share stories of their experiences with sexism and vowing to work against it. Tumblr even has its own collection of feminist blogs dedicated to giving women a voice online.
