Why Don't We Take Female Health Seriously? A few days ago, popular US rapper and up-and-coming star Meg Thee Stallion was shot several times after leaving a friend's party. She suffered from several gunshot wounds, and was immediately rushed to hospital where she had to undergo surgery in order to ensure she was okay.

Meg had never spoken of being involved in violence in any way before, and so it was a surprise to hear that she had been involved in such a violent and aggressive attack.  But, amongst the shock, and the warm wishes, and the questions; also came mockery. Memes, jokes, nasty comments... Meg Thee Stallion became the butt of a cruel joke centred around what any normal person would appreciate is a traumatic event.  Sadly, this is not the first time the internet has taken a traumatic moment and turned it into a joke.
