Mom posts #HimToo message about how her son is scared to go on solo dates, and awkwardly gets bashed by him
A mother from Oklahoma inadvertently made her son a meme on the Internet when she tweeted a photo of her son and claimed he is very afraid of going on dates with women because of being falsely accused by them of sexual assault. Marla Reynolds posted the image of her son, Pieter Hanson, on Twitter after the massive battle for Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination came to a close causing some Republicans to claim men are now afraid of being falsely accused of sexual assault.
Along with the photo, she wrote in the caption: "He won't go on solo dates due to the current climate of false accusations by radical feminists with an axe to grind. I VOTE #HimToo." Even though it wasn't in the way the mother had hoped it would gain attention, the tweet did go viral and #HimToo was trending on the social media site. Many users immediately started commenting on the tweet with their own versions of her post but with the glaring differences being pictures featuring the likes of Norman Bates, pet cats, and even Rick Astley! Thankfully, Pieter saw the funny side of his sudden fame on Twitter and also uploaded a picture of himself in the same pose.
