Hashtag of the Day: #mygirlfriendnotallowedto

Earlier this week, dozens of Twitter users began tweeting absurd rules of conduct for their significant others with the hashtag #MyGirlfriendNotAllowedTo. Within hours, it became the #1 trending topic worldwide and resulted in nearly 400,000 mentions on Tuesday. It has not come without controversy, however: several Twitter users have already co-opted the hashtag to illustrate gender role inequalities when it comes to dos and dont's in dating or to call out on misogyny driving some of the less humorous tweets.
