Tech Tip: Hashtags and Retweets

One post I retweeted was about PBS Idea Channel's video on Westworld. I chose this particular tweet for a couple of reasons. Firstly, Westworld is one of my favorite shows to watch. It weaves thought-provoking questions about consciousness and what it means to be human represented by The Maze within the show. Link: https://twitter.com/OnlineMythIndia/status/820003746306543617

One hashtag that caught my attention was #DressLikeAWoman. Not surprisingly, there's another controversy with President Trump. Reportedly, the president has made claims that suggest that he expects women to comply with gender roles. By that, I mean that he expects women to wear dresses because that's what a "real woman" would wear. In response, people are tweeting photos of women in different kinds of outfits -- from jeans and a t-shirt to astronaut suits -- in defiance of his comments to show that an outfit does define the "real"-ness of a woman.
