NEW. The woman who was strangled, beaten and raped by Paul Quinn in Salford in 2003 is a "hero", said Mr Justice Bright.

His remarks at the start of the sentencing hearing at Manchester Crown Court must be read. I don't think I've read anything like them before from a judge in a Crown Court:

@jk_rowling @Keri_J_Russell My hairdresser’s little girl stopped drinking the milk in her cereal as a way of avoiding mixed school loos. Why? Because the older boys were in them shouting “Show us your fanny!” whilst the girls were in the cubicles.

Appalling that some women see nothing traumatic in that.

'The Landing in Summer.' Mary Dawson Elwell emerged on the British art scene as a painter of interiors, or more accurately, 'portrait interiors,' of her Yorkshire home in the 1930s. Her watchwords are stillness, silence, containment, privacy, meditation, illumination.

I’m sick to death of Lib Dem’s in particular saying trans identifying men are no risk to women. Official MOJ statistics show over 60% of trans identifying men in prison are there for sex offences against women or children. In mens prisons is 18%. Yet we understand why we keep men out of private spaces for women. Safeguarding. That’s over 3x times a higher risk. Stats are stats. Even if you don’t like them. Check out this figure yourself. Next time someone spout this nonsense I will endeavour to give the actual official stats. It’s time we work with truths & not fluffy fantasy.

If the women’s pond is to be mixed sex then the men’s pond will have to be too. How depressing to lose such a lovely and unique tradition, enjoyed by Londoners for years, at the behest of a handful of unpleasant and coercive men.

>> Secondly, the Council claimed boys do not subject girls to sexual, or sex based, harassment.

For those with a duty of case the naivety is chilling. Presumably they are oblivious to disclosures about Scottish primary schools on 'Everyone's Invited'. >

Two shocking points were revealed in this judgment.

First, to their utter shame @LoveWestLothian actually submitted in their defence that they had special period toilets for girls. >>

@stellaomalley3 @jonkay The regular giggling, chortling and gurgling at the usually male guests on Beyond Gender is off-putting and detracts from the seriousness of the subject. It also still fails to properly introduce guests until almost half way through. You need an experienced editor/producer.

Tech bosses threatened with prison if they fail to protect children.

Ministers are expected to announce plans next week to force companies such as Google and Apple to stop children using their devices to send, receive, view or share naked pictures.

A five-year-old was left traumatised, bleeding and in severe pain after a physician associate wrongly prescribed her a vaginal pessary, according to a damning report by the health ombudsman. https://t.co/PdxkGrJE1x

‘There is no place for a “market” here. Children are not a commodity to be bought and sold. Private profit and public service are always oil and water.’

[MAurelius @MAurelius200]

Councils, which have not been given the capital budgets to make their own provision for children in care, are so desperate to find places that they are sending children to providers who are not only unqualified but also, in some cases, unregistered. / https://t.co/Gew93sFmqg

[MAurelius @MAurelius200]

‘While in France only 5% of places are run for profit, in England, the FT tells us, the figure is 84%. The reason is simple: ideology. Successive govt have failed to provide local authorities with the capital needed to house children because public is bad and private is good.’ /

[MAurelius @MAurelius200]

.@GeorgeMonbiot says ‘they are breaking the law by using “homes” which haven’t even met the basic requirement to register with the regulator. These are private oubliettes – places beyond easy reach of the authorities, where children can be dumped and forgotten’. /

[MAurelius @MAurelius200]

.@amolrajan asks how ban will be enforced (incl not wearing scrubs on protests). Like it is in civil service and probably elsewhere. Impartiality ‘rule’ is just published by the organisation and infraction is addressed, like any other breaking of an organisation’s rules.

[MAurelius @MAurelius200]

.@amolrajan asks Lord Mann about pride insignia on R4Today, in context of his recommendation that the NHS bans all political badges etc. Mann refuses to engage with that example of political/ideological support. @SexMattersOrg @WomensRightsNet
