The #SpyCopsInquiry is a truly appalling glimpse into institutional cruelty, venality and deceit. Thanks @helensteel12

And is violence, per se
FACT: Buying sex makes men more prone to violence against women Studies of men who buy sex (punters) show that they are significantly more likely than other men to rape and engage in all forms of violence against women. A US study found that punters were nearly eight times more

@sianberry @BrightonHoveCC Sounds an awful lot like -because it is exactly - blaming women for being attacked by men. Very dispiriting, but not surprising, to see. Here’s a link to the @FiLiA_charity event for people to make up their minds on rational ways:

‘That money is just resting in my family’s account’ (A nod to @glinner ‘s #FatherTed)

Stumbled across this piece on ‘Multiple Intelligences’, ‘Learning Styles’ etc. I’m no expert, by a long way, but it raises some interesting points around ‘feel-good’ ‘moral conviction’ over empirical evidence, which rings some bells Thoughts? https://t.co/Q2R5Maqxi2

Like the majority of people, my ancestors would have been the ones having the land nicked off them, quarrying the stone, digging the foundations, serving the 'master'... not nostalgic for that, thank you 🤨

Solidarity with #GiselePelicot May this gibberish appeal fail utterly https://t.co/lRY84yAJfu

“The picture’s bleak. There’s a backlash. Rape culture ideas are coming back very strongly. We can see this with the masculinist movement rising in popularity, especially with young boys & teenagers” Yes but who's poisoning the consciousness of our boys? https://t.co/dDY2JRlXJL

On a global and national level, our boys and young men are being mind-funneled with content, values and self-judgment metrics that are dangerous for them and for women & girls. The harms to each are interwoven. Not equal, not the same, but connected.
