Is the trending "MasculinitySoFragile" hashtag a teachable moment?
<p>This afternoon the top trending hashtag on Twitter is #MasculinitySoFragile. Much of it is funny and ironic, so is this a teachable moment? </p><p>Is this an opportunity for digital scholars to ask new questions or offer alterative ideas? </p><p>Is this just a waste of our time and a reminder that most of social media is useless? </p>
