Excerpt from The Afro Newspaper
Twitter’s brought up a lot of conversations in the past, but if you were on the social media platform this past weekend, your timeline may have been flooded with tweets that circulated around one key phrase: “Men Are Trash.”
It all started on May 5 when Kelsey Joie, a YouTube hair vlogger and massive tweeter who had just moved from Missouri to Dallas, made a post about her shirts emblazoned with the phrase “Men are Trash” were available for purchase. It wasn’t her first time, according to Joie, who originally released the same T-shirt in Feb. “Of course there were people mad, like, ‘Man this some bulls*** lol,’” Jolie tells the AFRO. “But they weren’t seriously pissed off. It didn’t really get that big and I only sold a few shirts…So I kind of left it alone.”
