 So now youtubers are now tagging each other to rise to the challenge.

I am not making a video. I haven't been in the habit of making many videos in part because of the age of my hardware. But what would be my message? There are so many potential messages on so many issues. I have been most disturbed by the eating away of due process in jurisprudence as a result of the hysteria around surrounding the "rape culture" panic. This is starting to look like a mixture of Jim Crow lynch mob mentality and a witch hunt. A mixture of the Salem witch trials as dramatised in the Arthur Miller play "The Crucible" and Harper Lee's book "To Kill a Mockingbird".

So this is what my message would be:  

"Please read 'The Crucible', 'To Kill a Mockingbird' and 'Cautio Criminalis' By Frederick von Shee."

 The last book was written by a Jesuit priest living in the 16th century in Germany who believed in witches but opposed the witch trials as extremely dangerous.

Other messages to feminists have been posted to other social media like Twitter and Facebook.
