@jo_bartosch I need to catch up with this moment! 👏👏

“The problem was never a lack of warning. The problem was a lack of willingness to listen. And so, a culture that mistakes transgression for talent carried on applauding”.

@SarahjevsEvans Well, I say that too! 😅

“There is no swifter route to the corruption of thought than through the corruption of language”.

Women’s and girls’ sex-based legal rights are ‘fascism’ apparently. 🤦‍♀️

[Wales-Women’s Rights Network 💜🤍💚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @WRNWales]

Politicians in the Senedd sometimes seem to be far removed from the general public, but their irresponsible and inflammatory rhetoric can spill out of the Cardiff bubble and into the real world where women standing up for their lawful rights are threatened and abused.

We call on them to have more responsibility for their language, and higher standards of behaviour.

Here we go again with the mob screaming 'fascist' and 'n*zi' at women and having to be held back by the police.

I really don't want to hear a single word again from politicians about 'marginalised, oppressed minorities' or 'toxicity on both sides'. They really make me sick.

Last night, our members made history. We stood together in #Nottingham for the first female-only #ReclaimTheNight march the city has seen in well over a decade. In fact, this was likely the only explicitly female-only #ReclaimTheNight march in the entire country this year. 1/11

@NottsRtN What a disgraceful bunch, totally proving your point. Idiots the lot of them!

[Polska Policja 🇵🇱 @PolskaPolicja]

🚨Podczas tragicznych wydarzeń w Krakowie policjanci stanęli naprzeciw uzbrojonego napastnika. Nie zawahali się, choć sami znaleźli się w śmiertelnym niebezpieczeństwie.
Dwóch funkcjonariuszy zostało rannych. Jeden z nich walczy o życie.

To właśnie jest policyjna służba. Odwaga, odpowiedzialność i gotowość do działania nawet wtedy, gdy stawką jest własne życie.

Myślami jesteśmy z rannymi policjantami, ich rodzinami i bliskimi. Z całych sił wierzymy, że wrócą do zdrowia.

Jesteśmy z Wami!

@CristianaEmsley @WRNWales I couldn’t agree more. There are women of all political parties in our membership, and the Plaid women are in despair at the contempt of their representatives for their basic rights - as well as the ignorant insults thrown around.
We are grateful for your voice 👏

[Cathy Larkman 💚🤍 💜🦢🏃‍♀️ @JackMerched]

@BevJacksonAuth Plaid’s manifesto and the statement of values’ on their website include commitments to gender self ID, a right to access spaces and services based on self ID, amongst others. Their deputy recently stated TWAW in the Senedd.
They resort to word salad when challenged.

@WomensRightsNet @EthelWrites She’s a legend. I will never forget her, always in my mind, and in my heart. ❤️ 💔

@WomensRightsNet @WRNWales Same old story of pass the parcel between police forces, keen to avoid ownership.
Puts all that talk about male violence against women and girls being a ‘national emergency’ into sharp context.

[Women's Rights Network - WRN @WomensRightsNet]

For all the warm words about male violence against women and girls, the police had to be prodded into taking action by the shame of media exposure.

This was despite a sinister threat of violence against nurses which meant they weren’t safe to attend their workplace. Shameful.

Solidarity with the @DarlingtonUnion nurses. Police forces need to wake up sharpish to the intimidation tactics and simmering violence of trans activists. Take note @NYorksPolice!

This Bill is a wrecking ball directly aimed at caring parents. It will criminalise normal conversations by parents with their troubled children.

Don’t let this happen. Submit your evidence by 16th November. This excellent guide by @sexmattersorg explains how 👇

“We wanted to own the night, and we still got harassed.”
As women around Wales get together to run in groups after dark for safety, it seems that weak men in Wales still get a thrill from harassing them.
Enough is enough.
Women shouldn’t need police officers running alongside them just to do something as basic as running.

@CatCullenMS Thank you Catherine

@appnin4 @moleatthedoor Stunned and indignant ‘how dare you ask me’ look followed by gibberish probably.

“Tell me Rhun, what is it about women’s rights that don’t align with the values of a party previously mired in a misogyny scandal?”

(Cheers @moleatthedoor for the pic!)

[Wales-Women’s Rights Network 💜🤍💚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @WRNWales]

Why do women’s rights hold no value for Plaid Cymru?
Natasha Asghar, Chair of the Cross-Party Group on Women’s and Girls’ Rights in Wales, asked the Deputy First Minister some very clear questions yesterday.
The questions related to the withdrawal of a Plaid MS from this important Group amid serious reports of bullying from male party staff.
Once again, @Sioned_W failed to answer a single question, seemingly excusing the outrageous behaviour by providing a muddled word salad about other areas of Welsh Government work.
Notably, she also failed to address or deny the bullying allegations.

[Cathy Larkman 💚🤍 💜🦢🏃‍♀️ @JackMerched]

@rowinggeek Where’s @edballs when you need him? He’s the only one who’s truly put Rhun in the spotlight and exposed his hypocrisy. Gets a free pass in all other interviews.
