#UofTfeministstrong is trending on Twitter following a march against anonymous threats made in blogTO comments against the lives of feminist students and teachers at U of T. A Women’s Studies class at UTM will be cancelled this week following Professor Hae Yeon Choo’s decision to take this time instead for a “moment of serious reflection” on the past and present discrimination against feminists. One student commented on her professor’s decision by saying  “My personal way of protesting against the violent threats would be to go to class. I don’t think we should stand down or miss our education for something like this.”

This opinion was shared by the students at UTSG who rallied along Bloor, Spadina and St. George streets this afternoon. As one spokesperson for the demonstration put it, “Violence that seeks to silence feminist voices cannot and will not succeed in its goals.”
