Many men treat the women and girls in our lives with respect and care. Yet few of us speak up when other men behave in sexist and disrespectful ways, and even fewer challenge the wider inequalities that harm women and girls. It’s time for men to step up.

Thanks so much Anna Kelsey-Sugg for getting this important message out. With over 25% of your people having experienced child sexual abuse according to the new maltreatment report Education is so important.

Dear schools, please feel comfortable to teach a whole range of sex ed topics. Australian parents have your back and they want you to teach more than consent. Check out my recent article: https://t.co/oRXq6io52r via @ConversationEDU @Bloom_edAU

🌈Quite frankly, adults who are so concerned about other people's sexuality, (especially children's) when it is none of their business sets my reg flags flying... disgusting.

🌈Trans and gender diverse kids are some of the most vulnerable in our society - because of disgraceful adults who harm children and others under the guise of freedom of speech and that their rights are more important than other's.

🌈You don't have to understand human sexual diversity but you do have to respect it. 🌈Anti trans activists have vile, ignorant and arrogant beliefs based on fear tactics and inaccurate information.

🌈Some people's gender does not match their sex assigned at birth, indeed some people's gender does not match either of the binary sexes usually assigned at birth. 🌈Human's are diverse and that includes sexuality.

Sex: Women are still expected to prioritise their male partners’ sexual desires over their own. Women now have the “sexual freedom” to go along with porn-inspired acts – strangulation, slapping, aggression – that are unwanted if not harmful and dangerous.

population who were already here. I don't celebrate atrocities against Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander peoples, so won’t be celebrating on the 26th of January, a date that represents mourning for so many.

I want to celebrate our country, however I want to celebrate all 60,000+ years of it. Which includes telling the truth about it’s history. That history includes colonisation and the beginning of the dispossession of land, violence, massacres and genocide for indigenous
