So how can we make sure those fun feminist memes we love and find ourselves thumbing through are the ones going viral and those not so fun memes stay hidden from the interweb altogether? It also goes without saying that there are plenty of memes out there that don't show women in the most positive light. Sure, memes are meant to be funny, but they can also provide a simplistic, visual approach to important human rights issues in the most highly shareable format possible (did someone say viral?!). They also make it pretty easy to fall into Internet wormholes that have the power to make domestic cats famous ( RIP Grumpy Cat) and our coworkers chuckle. They are an online extension of ourselves and play a key role in our social expression. Memes are a big part of our digital culture. To meme at work or not to meme at work, that is the question.
