Today we are giving NO prizes to men who havenโt assaulted a woman, havenโt raped a woman, havenโt killed a woman. Same deal tomorrow. And the day after. Raise the fucking bar, lads. Our lives depend on it. #notallmen #butalwaysmen.

"Letโs be clear: women are not stupid. If we were rewarded for being direct in emails, we would be direct in emails. Softened language, a conciliatory attitude, superfluous apologies โ these are not the result of low self-esteem but of a calculation. ".Hear, hear @Martha_Gill!.
I wrote about "no worries if not" and how irritating it is when people tell women to be more confident

From this April. A lone girl flags down the Met for help and gets struck 30-odd times with a baton. Because those "cracks" officers keep slipping through are really fucking big.
BREAKING: Met police officer dismissed after using up to 34 baton strikes on Black teenage girl with learning disabilities. Sophie Naftalin & Sohini Mehta at Bhatt Murphy acting for the family.

Here is the real contribution @GMB wonโt put out. Here @ayeshahazarika brilliantly spells out reality debunking UKIP lady ludicrous assertion that #cummingsgate is a narrow Brexit issue. Sums it up perfectly. Watch ๐๐ผ

Maybe we should just, I dunno, STOP SEXUALISING 4-YEAR-OLD GIRLS.
Are modesty shorts for four-year-olds a good idea?. As a precaution to protect girls as young as four, who may bare all mid-cartwheel, some schools have introduced modesty shorts to uniform policy. The #LooseWomen would love to hear your views? ๐.

Incredible work. Baffling that this wasn't already a thing.
Children will now be recognised within the statutory definition of Domestic Abuse. Always speak up and keep pushing. We now have one week to make sure all victims regardless of their status are protected. We can do this!

118 women killed by a man in the past year. 118. It takes Jess four minutes to read out all of their names, an act which ensures they are recorded in the official parliamentary records. Thank you @jessphillips & @K_IngalaSmith for doing right by women victims of male violence.
Since last year on this day, these are the women killed in the UK where a man has been convicted or charged as the primary perpetrator in the case.
