The Twitter boycott was irrelevant, and as it was only done for a day it wasn't something major, as not many people would notice it if it was only for a short period of time. It only had an impact on some celebrities and a few fans of theirs, whom didn't tweet for a day.
Should Twitter have done more in response to those threats?
Twitter should have done more to respond to the threats,rather than just an formal apology as it is a well-known social networking site, but their isn't much they could do, which would be considered a big action. However, not every tweet can't be kept a track off, as there are millions of users. However, there is a report button which allows people to report abusive behaviour or if they feel harassed by others, this reporting button would lead to the person either being ban depending on the extent of abusive and harassed behaviour.
Should young women in 2013 take an interest in feminism? Do young women need to 'reclaim' feminism?
Women should take an interest in feminism, as otherwise men believe they hold a lot of authority and are more dominating, as they're able to get any job and as they receive better pay than women in all sorts of jobs. Gender is highly considered within this world, and some people take it to an extent where they only offer men certain jobs and say women won't be able to do the job. Underestimation of women would lead to them feeling they're only made to do household jobs. Moreover, I think young women need to reclaim feminism to hold a status within society, otherwise men would take upon all roles and they'd be worth nothing.
Why has the internet been effective in feminist campaigns?
The internet has been effective in feminist campaigns due to the messages being able to spread quickly, and the internet is a fast, easy and effective way to interact with the public, and other feminists. Feminists are able to hold protests and able to get others to sign petitions online, which is an effective way to get things done and be more recognised, as the internet is the new source of technology which everyone uses and it gives away a lot of information.
What is your opinion on page 3 of the Sun still featuring a half-naked young woman in 2013?
Page 3 of the Sun featuring half-naked young woman, allow men to have this dominating factor over women, as that's purely what men want to see, and expect from women. Women doing this shows them they're ready to give anything for a man. This is a sense of sexual pleasure for men, as women are being objectified by men and men want women to be encourage by this page. Women shouldn't be giving in for men so easily, by showing off themselves half-naked, they should be as challenging as men, and not publishing their images on newspapers and magazines. Women are standing more of a ground over the years, as from the 1990's where less women were working and they were just cooking at home, now in 2013, women are working and on more or less the same level as man, so they shouldn't give themselves away so easily.
