Sign


This sign refers heavily to the use of Twitter during this movement. The most obvious aspect,
aside from the blue and white color scheme the social media platform uses, is paronomasia.
Paronomasia is a type of pun where two similar words with different meanings but different spellings are
interchanged. The word "Tweet" in this case can be read as a mispronunciation of "Treat", which
creates two different ways to read the sign, both making sense for the cause the woman is marching for.
