    If you see misogynistic abuse: 1. Take a screenshot 2. Add it to a tweet, including the person’s real name (if avail) 3. #exposethefuckers

        . @harriyott Profanity borne out of righteous indignation at injustice or inequality isn’t rude; it’s a valid expression of human emotion.

        @aral I'm not objecting to you (or anyone else) swearing, and agree with you. However, I choose not to swear, and so won't use that hashtag.
