#WomenBoycottTwitter Because Our Voices Matter
There isn’t much to say that isn’t perfectly summed up in this short post on A BIT TO READ. It is a fantastic blog, and I really enjoy Isa-Lee Wolf’s writing. I think her voice is succinct and thoughtful.
This post discusses the #WomenBoycottTwitter tag in response to Rose McGowan’s temporary ban from Twitter. Regardless as to whether McGowan was banned because she was calling out hypocrites or doxing someone’s phone number is neither here nor there.

I’M NOT USUALLY one to eulogize commercial success, but when it comes to books I can’t help but be astounded by the sheer volume of books the authors below have produced. Between them they have published over 275 books. It is almost inhuman: it should be! Total sales figures are equally insane: over 1 billion copies sold world-wide.
As with anything, I am like most people, curious as to what lies behind outstanding people in their fields. It’s a common human need, an almost senseless curiosity as if by uncovering who the person is, we too might share in their success by emulating what they do. But humans are equally stupid. Nobody can be anyone else but themselves, but we fool ourselves into thinking if we try harder, if we change our habits, if we just do something they do, things will come easy, life will never be the same…
