Anita Sarkeesian of #Feminist Frequency Proves Women Won’t and Can’t Be Silenced

I have been a fan of Anita Sarkeesian of  Feminist Frequency for several years. She is “ feminist pop culture media critic who produces an ongoing web series of video commentaries from a feminist/fangirl perspective” and I’ve linked to her videos many times. This week she posted her TEDxWomen Talk about Online Harassment & Cyber Mobs and it is a must see for parents and teens alike, irrespective of gender. Watch as Anita details her personal experience with online harassment. She was not silenced. Women will not be silenced.

“Everyday I am encouraged by the women who persevere, who continue to engage and who refuse to be silenced. I truly believe that if we work together, we can create a cultural shift where women, without fear of intimidation, without fear of threats or harassment, can be full and active participants in our digital world.” ~Anita Sarkeesian
