I don't believe in anyone losing work or an income due to their opinions (unless they cross the legal threshold), but we need to have a open and frank discussion why Gary Lineker was hounded for having an actual opinion, and used his own personal platform for it, whereas Rylan is making multiple factually incorrect statements, spouting right wing lies, on a national TV programme and he remains intact?? Can we discuss this in an adult and kindly manner please?
There’s a VERY good reason asylum seekers get circus tickets and Amazon parcels.
But the Mail on Sunday was never going to tell you that.
Here’s the crucial detail they left out: 🧵
Weight loss advice is based on studies conducted on men and applied to women.
When female hormones enter the picture, science suddenly finds it ‘too complicated’ and ‘too expensive’ so they study men, apply the results to women, and pretend it’s universal truth.
As a result, the recommendations women receive are often based on male physiology and when they don’t work, the blame is placed on women.
Not the research. Not the bias. Women.
Science has historically neglected female bodies. This isn’t controversial, nor is it a theory. It’s how medical research has operated for decades. The research is deemed ‘done’ because it’s been ‘done’ on men.
The studies are male. The standard is male. The failure is assigned to women.
@DrCalumMiller Since you're so eager to control bodies that aren’t yours, how about this:
we develop a reversible vasectomy programme—mandatory for all men until a woman gives informed consent for it to be reversed.
Sound fair?
You know, just to balance the power dynamic.
