Two trending hashtags on Twitter have got people raising their eyebrows again.
The hashtags, #bumbumtwitter and #bigbreasttwitter feature women flaunting their “assets”, with many tying their “gifts” to the countries they are from.
While many of these tweets have gone viral with likes from hundreds of admirers, others have raised arms, saying the trend is contradictory to what women say they want, which is to be respected for their intelligence and personality.
RELATED STORIES
Just two months ago, Amnesty International released a report called Toxic Twitter that claimed that Twitter is failing to put a stop to the online abuse of women using its platform. Some say this trend further compounds on issues such as abuse on social media.
What are your thoughts and where do you stand on this issue? Can women flaunt their assets on social media regardless of their politics; or is this hypocrisy on the part of some women who post such pictures then say they do not want to be objectified?

Now reactions:
“Don’t objectify me”
“I’m a human being not a piece of meat”
“Don’t sexualise us”
Yet Hashtag look at my bum bum. Hashtag look at my breasts, aren’t they enticing? Your personality is what they’re putting tongue emojis for abi?
One step forward. Five steps backward. Hell oh hell.— ‘ (@bee__vs) May 23, 2018
This isn’t about acting or talking woke! She made a legit point
If women are constantly worried about being objectified so why are you accentuating certain parts of your body in a hashtag? Big bumbum and big breast Twitter looks like a direct validation of objectification

Breast and Buttocks, just like the penis are highly associated with sex.
Women claim to want to be seen for what they achieved, not as sexual beings.
So I wonder how a trend that started with professionalism ended with #bumbumtwitter and #BigBreastTwitter
Comfort zone?
