Twitter ran a commercial during the Academy Awards last night featuring Denice Frohman reciting a poem about female empowerment. It was inspiring and beautiful. It's a shame Twitter has done little to stop the endemic misogyny on its platform. Here are some responses from people who'd like Twitter to start walking the walk, too:
Says a company that IGNORED AND EVEN MOCKED women being harassed, trolled, and doxxed by GamerGaters. Said a company with a HORRIBLE record of hiring and retaining female engineers. FFS @jack https://t.co/Y8A2Keh4bO

How about you spend the money you used on this ad to hire moderators to kick accounts that terrorize women off your platform?

How about you hire more engineers who aren’t men to build your platform so that you don’t have giant blind spots putting users at risk? #HereWeAre https://t.co/RBDtfYkKQY
#HereWeAre, still watching as Twitter does little to nothing about the rampant misogyny & racism that infects this space https://t.co/hJmywf3H2H

Nice sentiment, shame it's totally hollow like everything else @Twitter claims.

Tell me, when are you going to do anything at all about the hundreds of thousands of trolls, far-right accounts, abusers and offenders breaking your own ToS every day on this platform?
motherfuckers you don't stand with anything except stand around with your hands in your pockets when women, sexual minorities, & POC report harassment & hate speech. you been doing fuck all since gamergate & you got a LONG way to go before you claim you "stand with women." https://t.co/jMcFCMqT5n
