Hashtag of the day: Flashmob in support of Lyubov Kalugina

EVERY DAY ON THE INTERNET SOMETHING IS GOING ON: someone releases clips, someone launches hashtags, and someone says smart (or not so) things - and we focus on the most important or just curious.

# feminism extremism

Yesterday, September 5, against a radical feminist from Omsk, Lyubov Kaluginoy opened a criminal case under article 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation because of twelve posts on the VKontakte network, including memes and demotivators. The reason for the proceedings was the complaint of one of the residents of Birobidzhan, who accused the woman of "inciting hatred towards men." Kalugina told us about her situation and the criminal prosecution in her detailed monologue. Social network users, in turn, launched a flash mob in support of radical feminists under the hashtag # feminismnextremism.

“How is it wrong that feminism is equated with extremism! How terrible is that in our society women cannot speak out against violence or against discrimination without being accused of“ hatred. ”We do not call for hatred! We give women the opportunity to tell about their experiences and being heard, - write the administrators of the community "Feminism: clearly." - Feminism is needed, because it helps women cope with many problems in their lives. And # feminism is not extremism! Remember it! "
