Overheard: Being a woman is kind of like being a cyclist in a city where all the cars represent men. You're supposed to be able to share the road equally with cars, but that's not how it works. The roads are built for cars and you spend a great deal of physical and mental energy

It is insane that men are openly and actively the main predators of women, while sincerely believing they are the main protectors of women.

“It’s just locker room talk”. We know. That’s the damn problem. It’s always locker room talk. It’s always rape jokes. It’s always “boys will by boys”. It’s never “I’m sorry.” It’s never “that was disrespectful”. It’s never respectful of women .

“it’s a joke” WHY are we making jokes at the expense of women in general, but especially a team of women who just made a historic run to a gold medal ????

The Monarchy should go Not because of Andrew or scandal It should go because hereditary privilege is morally wrong And underpins a society that then reeks of entitlement & class divide It is time to abolish the monarchy, titles and the House of Lords.

Men being in charge. Homo sapiens have existed for at least 260,000 years. Patriarchy has existed for less than 10,000 years and has already brought humankind to the brink of annihilation. Patriarchy is not the norm in nature and should not exist.

Do you know how insane it is that women have been fighting to be treated like humans with equal rights for centuries and this is all the progress we’ve made? OVER CENTURIESSSS???? Can you imagine how horrible it previously was? That in big 2026, rape victims are still afraid to

The release of the Epstein files feels less like transparency and more like a psychological operation. It overwhelms the most empathetic and intellectually engaged people with outrage and despair, while numbing everyone else into apathy and boredom. Explained by a lawyer.

Routine sexual abuse of teenage girls isn't the prerogative of decadent elites, immigrant grooming gangs, polygamous cults etc etc. Every women's rights activist I ever met, from every part of the world, has stories about this from her community. Ordinary men do this, everywhere.

I respect the right of men to single-sex spaces; whether gay groups or men's sheds. But bitter experience shows that there are some men who bond over abusing women & children. Meanwhile, women-only space is generally to escape from those same horrors. We are not the same.

In patriarchy men treat each other with love, care, admiration and compassion, while brutalising women like slaves. This comes out strikingly in Epstein files, how gently these men spoke to one another, as they conspired to carry out unspeakable violence against women and girls.

I do wish that as a society we would review collectively our policy of fawning over rich, powerful men, and ignoring all their obvious proclivities, in the hope of a bit of gravy from the train 🤢

Tehran’s streets, and cities around the world, echo with the footsteps of Iranian women and men demanding freedom. Freedom to speak, to gather, to travel and above all to live freely. Europe stands fully behind them. We unequivocally condemn the violent repression of these

We’ve been calling on Starmer to hold a national inquiry for months. Finally, he’s u-turned. Now, let’s make sure he keeps his word.

Difficult to avoid spoilers on #Adolescence It reminds us the biggest risk to women & girls health isn’t blood pressure or obesity, it’s men & boys Misogyny harms more women in the UK & globally than terrorism & organised crime Yet misogyny itself isn’t even a criminal offence
