“when i launched my book club, it wasn’t in a cozy café. it was in a reading group at downview women’s prison. i’ll never forget what one of the women shared with me: ‘perhaps if i’d read more books when i was younger, i wouldn’t be here now’.”

Dua Lipa calls out the media for failing Epstein victims during Service95 book club podcast with author Roxane Gay:
“The way the crimes have been reported, and the language that’s been used, has been really doing such a disservice, I guess, to all the victims. I keep thinking about all the stories that talk about the underage girls and the sex parties, rather than writing about the victims who are children and who were trafficked and raped. It’s almost putting everything under some kind of veil to protect….I don’t know who, the reader? Or trying to mask what is happening […] It’s so interesting how the media, kind of, takes and twists things even, you know, in the darkest hour.”
menstrual products cause BODILY HARM. toothpaste causes dental issues for women because it was designed for MEN. male baldness is studied more than ENDOMETRIOSIS. they even created male birth control... then pulled it over ACNE, HAIR LOSS, MOOD SWINGS, and cancer risks… the same side effects women have endured for DECADES. this isn’t just medicine. it’s a system that protects MEN’S COMFORT while ignoring WOMEN’S PAIN.
The times I’ve done CPR on real women, it felt completely different because all our training mannequins basically have male chests.but the moment you say healthcare is built around the Caucasian male body, people start yelling “agenda” like it’s not a documented issue. Be serious
This is actually INSANE! she's taking a major hit career-wise this action alone, ntm the enemies she's created by firing her manager & being loudly pro pal! Don't ever tell me "big celebs" CAN'T show solidarity coz they'll 'lose' a lot in the process. This is how you SHOW TF UP!
