It's publication day for Unkind, on why women and girls shouldn't have to make up for the world by "just" being kinder (but men and boys possibly could...)!

The flag affirms the experience of Israeli women on 7/10, but surely this is a message EVERY feminist can get behind Rape Is Not Resistance Excusing the rape of your enemy by your allies only ensures the rape of your daughter by your friends No woman can be liberated through rape

When middle aged women bring their “whole self to work”. Invisibility and dismissal of struggle captured so beautifully here, along with the ageism too many middle aged women just have to live with. #ActingYourAgeCampaign

Using Julia Serano as "evidence"
Scottish Government funded group Zero Tolerance disagrees with the proposal to add ‘sex’ as to hate crime legislation. It believes that sex “is a reductive definition of what a woman is”. https://t.co/W2HnJkaDDk

She tried so hard to raise the alarm, working at great risk to herself after the police ignored her & labelled her a 'nuisance', & in return they prosecuted HER. "Ms Mjadzelics reported Watkins to police & social services in 2008, 2009, 2011 & 2012 to raise the alarm over his
Reading about the death of Ian Watkins and reminded he was allowed to offend for four more years because police decided "vindictive" ex-girlfriends would just make that kind of thing up, so no need to investigate their claims https://t.co/zVCkfQbQla

Amazingly powerful event this evening with @bindelj @HWistrich @HeidiBachram @FreyaVanadiss @lubafein and others in Brighton discussing the silence of the feminists post Oct 7 and how the concept of ‘believe her’ was turned on its head. We were hoping we might get about 70

There are too many incredibly stupid and racist men out there who think it’s clever to compare women wanting to exclude men from single-sex spaces to white supremacists advocating for racial segregation.
@soniasodha I assume Sonia also believes that "white rights" groups have a right to hold their racist white supremacist conferences in minority ethnic areas with no response or pushback from the communities they wish to discriminate against.

Anyhow, I started the day with a nice run along Brighton seafront. This is not because I like running, obviously. It was totally a spite run, provocatively chosen to cruelly take up space and breathe other people's air.

The sheer narcissism of thinking if women's choices annoy you, women's entire motivation for making those choices is to annoying you. Because everything is about you. It's not as though women have interests which have nothing to do with either boosting or denting make egos.

Some classic "bitch only does this to wind me up" logic from John.
@glosswitch Brighton is widely considered the LGBTQ+ capital of the UK, and it also has a significant and historic trans community, hosting Europe's first trans pride march. You couldn't have picked a more provocative place. But you knew that.

“Threaten women all you want lads - absolutely have at them - but mind the building yeah?”
As our Cabinet Member Cllr Birgit Miller makes clear here we condemn this act of vandalism on our #Brighton Centre. We are a proudly trans inclusive City, but criminal damage is wrong & counterproductive. Trans activists vandalise conference centre – Brighton and Hove News

"Women, always remember that men who hurt you must be really, really upset! What have you done to upset them? The more they do to you, the worse you must have been!" This is a standard attitudes towards domestic abuse and it's really distressing to see it repeated by politicians

@sianberry You want to prevent women meeting so men won’t be forced to smash their windows?

Dear Sian, I am one of your constituents. There are many local women who worked for and are attending this event. And yet you prioritise the interests of people who engage in criminal damage in order to try and prevent women from exercising their legal right to assembly, and
Events that inflame division and create tension should be guarded against and @BrightonHoveCC needs better policies for which events it will host in our council-owned venues. The choice of Brighton was clearly provocative from organisers and the problems caused predictable.

FiLiA is a charity that campaigns for a world free from patriarchy where all women and girls are liberated. More than 2,400 delegates are gathering in Brighton this weekend and the activities of a small, violent minority will not diminish the spirit of sisterhood and solidarity

Amazing how many issues feminists spend their time pretending to care about, to the point of achieving actual change, when it's all just a secret plot to "provoke" others into sending threats and vandalising meeting places

The talk I went to this afternoon at #Filia25 was about sex apartheid. Speakers from Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia asking the audience to take steps to help women in those countries. The room was packed. @sianberry do you think this type of talk should not take place in Brighton?
