School apologises for 'slut-shaming' prom posters about 'appropriate' dresses suggesting women 'to blame' for rape

Summary | A Florida school was widely criticized online after a student shared posters that were put up in the school depicting what appropriate women's prom dresses look like and what kind of dresses are inappropriate. These posters were labeled with "good girl". The outrage is around the mysoginist language (degrading women to girls) and the mere fact that women's styling of their bodies is strongly policed and tied to accountability in sexual harrassment cases. The internet responded with a hashtag on Twitter with many contributions and the school's administration has since apologized.

For Many Women, Trump's 'Locker Room Talk' Brings Back Memories of Abuse

Summary | After a recording of Donald Trumps "locker room talk" leaked, a woman took Twitter and shared a personal story of sexual harassment and urged other women to do the same. Within a few days 27 million women responded and the hashtag #notokay became the marker for the thread. All of these singular examples demonstrated that they were not singular and that Donald Trump is wrapped up in and oblivious to the fact that his "harmless" locker room talk is perpetuating rape culture.
