"This is my son": a sailor goes viral for a tweet from his mother who ridiculed him
A mother who was premiering her Twitter account saw no problem using the photo of her handsome son to criticize what she called the "current climate of false sexual accusations." While the internet went mad with the daring of the lady, the young sailor created a new account to explain that nothing the mother had said was true.

It all started with the tweet of a proud mother who was premiering on social networks. With a photo of his son dressed in a sailor's uniform, he wrote: "This is my son. He graduated number one in the training camp. He was awarded with the USO recognition. He was number one in his school. He is a gentleman who respects women. He will not date more with girls because of the current climate of false sexual accusations and radical feminists who want to impose their causes. "
The message that seemed to allude to the polarized context of the recent election of Judge Brett Kavanaugh and the controversy that sparked the accusation made by Professor Christine Blasey Ford about an alleged sexual assault that occurred 36 years ago, immediately generated reactions and comments about everything created a lot of excitement about the hashtag with which the mother accompanied her comment. #HimToo (He too).
Reusing the formula of the women who, in 2017, went out massively to denounce the sexual abuse of the producer Harvey Weinstein and who joined with the #MeToo Hashtag to count the frequency with which the women are attacked, the mother seemed to want to send a message that invalidated all this type of protests and demonstrations and portrayed women as extremists.
It did not take his son Pieter Hanson to suffer the consequences of what his mother had put on Twitter without his authorization, and what is worse, without his support.
In a Twitter account that the young man opened to be able to respond to criticism and that he baptized @Thatwasmymom (something like @EsaFueMiMadre) Hanson issued a massive clarification: "That was written by my mother. Sometimes the people we love do things that hurt us without realizing it. Let's turn this around. I respect and believe in women. I would never support #HimToo. I am a proud sailor, father of two cats. Also, Twitter, your memes are on the point. "
"My mother had good intentions, she has published on Facebook of her single and available son and has tried to get him appointments many times over the years, but she never spoke to my brother nor did he make any of those statements regarding to sexual accusations, "Pieter Hanson's younger brother explained to The Huffington Post.
The truth is that beyond the political debate that underlies the two versions of this story, the mother has achieved, as mothers always do, her goal. After all, he has managed to get the unsuspecting Pieter Hanson to receive the attention of hundreds of women, who, why not, can invite him out.

While the mother proceeded to erase the tweet that still circulates in networks thanks to the screenshot that several people made, the social networks effectively began to appreciate the fact that a whole member of the army had been ridiculed by his mother . Images of officers carrying teddy bears and dozens of ridiculous scenes that began with the phrase "This is my son" flooded social networks.That was my Mom. Sometimes the people we love do things that hurt us without realizing it. Let’s turn this around. I respect and #BelieveWomen . I never have and never will support #HimToo . I’m a proud Navy vet, Cat Dad and Ally. Also, Twitter, your meme game is on point. pic.twitter.com/yZFkEjyB6L— Pieter Hanson (@Thatwasmymom) 9 de octubre de 2018
