Feminists Divided Over Whether 'Hawk Tuah' is Empowering or Just Gross

"Is This Girl Power or Just a Public Health Hazard?"

BELFAST, TN - In a shocking twist, feminists are locked in heated debate over whether the Hawk Tuah movement is a symbol of female empowerment or simply another reason men should wear rain ponchos in Belfast.

Dr. Stephanie Reynolds, a gender studies professor at the University of Tennessee, applauds the movement, claiming it redefines femininity and challenges stereotypes about how women should behave in public.

"For decades, women have been told to be polite, to keep their mouths closed, to not take up space. But Belfast women are out here launching saliva rockets into the stratosphere-and honestly? That's feminism."

However, not all women agree.

Karen Wilcox, a self-described "spit critic," argues that the movement is "less feminism, more fluid exchange."

"We fought for equal pay, and now we're celebrating projectile spitting?" Wilcox sighed. "What's next, a 'Hawk Tuah' seat at the United Nations?"

Meanwhile, Belfast women aren't waiting for permission.

"Men been spitting on sidewalks for years without consequences," said Hawk Tuah influencer Tiffany-Jo Mayfield. "Now that we do it, it's a 'debate'? That's funny."
