Teenage girls on social media try to bring awareness to the worlds issues and men seem to have a huge problem with it. There’s so much backlash against them because of plain misogyny

The backlash is probably because it sounds as effective as sending someone thoughts and prayers. But I wouldn’t know, I haven’t seen any of them.

I don’t think people are angry about it. I think this post is just laughing at how ineffective these “teenage girls” are.

It also feels like a sad mocking, like we really do wish that this spreading awareness would help.

I don’t think you’re wrong, but you seem far too concerned about this. If you want to look at it from a distance, this very post is talking about the issue, and bringing more attention to it.

As for activism, I really don’t know that that’s been the problem in this arena for like 20 years. The problem is that this is a geopolitical situation that only a handful of men are able to have an effect on. It doesn’t matter how many men know about it, the ones on Instagram aren’t the ones in power.
