Thanks for sharing this site! I'm not very experienced in social media aside from Facebook, and I never liked the whole "hashtag" concept used on so many interfaces. I guess I never really noticed how much hashtag sharing can affect others and their views on society. I read through the article on "#GirlsCan", and the author made a few good points about how CoverGirl, although putting out a message of empowerment and positivity, is essentially still just marketing their products, but in a subtle way. I never really thought about these concepts surrounding feminism, so it is interesting to read about feminist views on these issues!
