Sharing stories of sexism on social media is 21st-century activism

"A new study shows that tweeting about sexism can improve wellbeing. So can we finally stop criticising ‘clicktivism’ and ‘keyboard warriors’, and recognise the value of online feminism?...What happens online doesn’t stay online. Its impact can be far wider...Of course, social media isn’t perfect – perhaps no single form of activism is. For a start, it excludes those without access to the internet or electronic devices, which is a major problem, so it needs to be used in conjunction with other efforts. In addition, social media users posting on topics such as sexism may face vitriolic abuse from trolls. But its capacity to spread an idea to millions of people around the world is undeniable and unique."
