Women have been saying for years that there is a growing backlash against gender equality, and every time the conversation comes up we’re told we’re imagining it.
Now the United Nations is saying it.
According to a UN report, nearly 1 in 4 countries reported setbacks in women’s rights and gender equality. Hundreds of millions of women and girls are living in conflict zones, violence against women remains widespread, and UN officials are warning about a growing backlash against women’s rights worldwide.
The part that stands out to me isn’t even the statistics. It’s that women have been raising concerns about misogyny, online hostility toward women, violence, and attacks on reproductive rights for years, only to be dismissed as overreacting.
If the UN Secretary-General is warning about the “mainstreaming of misogyny,” maybe it’s time to stop pretending these concerns came out of nowhere.
Do you think women’s rights are genuinely facing setbacks, or do you think organizations like the UN are exaggerating the problem?
The Somerset Farmhouse of 1 North Street, Williton were approached by a "food influencer" that wanted to charge them £2,000 for a review.
They put out a video of Sally eating a sausage roll instead 😆.
Lets make Sally and the Somerset Farmhouse famous for free.
I was crazy busy at work today but wanted to say a few words about this before the day ended. I don't normally write shit like this but this one hit hard.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer just by name alone should have been a 1 season corny 90's teen soap joke. But it ended up being a beloved show that took it's audience serious and created a lifelong fandom.
A huge part of that was because Anthony Head's Rupert Giles, a strong, caring, smart, father figure to a whole generation of young people. He was strong, caring, smart, and talented, and that's something we don't get a lot of today in modern day male characters.
RIP "Ripper" 🥃
If they don’t want to write descriptions then just write a play, I guess. I definitely know people who only read the dialogue then have no idea what’s actually going on in the book 😆
Cardiff Uni is planning to rip out the 2nd floor of the Arts & Social Studies Library. If it happens, we lose 7km of books & crucial silent study space. We need to stop this before it goes ahead in June. Please add your name to the petition: https://t.co/hjSopnfgMS via @38degrees
