@shedrinkswater This is what my teenage friendship group was like and it was hell. Now I only have friendships with other women who are separate and don't know each other so no bitching

[Laoise de Brún | Barrister | Seanad Candidate @laoisedebrun]

This made me want to cry.

Her first kiss……☹️

We are the adults

We are the parents

This is happening on our watch.

It is not separate to us. We are ignoring /enabling/ condoning it by doing nothing. Childhoods are being destroyed. Core memories. Culture and meaning-making.

What the hell are we doing?

I tried for six months to get a porn symposium funded last year and had to park it after potential funders dissembled telling me my messaging was anti-male…!? This is the defensive reaction of the Right and it is maddening.

Porn is encouraging men to abuse women.
It really is that simple.
I don’t know how to make it any clearer.

Porn is making paedophiles of our men who are not before porn addiction and therefore driving the market in child rape.

In children, exposure is sexual abuse and it’s causing peer on peer sexual abuse to skyrocket.

When is enough, enough?

It cannot be right that teenage boys can commit brutal crimes of rape like this & avoid prison entirely. I have appealed these sentences to the AG. The excuses of ADHD for a crime like this are an offence to justice.

@DocBrownLloyd Looking forward to this! We had tickets to meet you at Liverpool comicon last year and missed you are you planning on coming again?

At age 10, she sabotaged her arranged marriage by chewing raw aubergine until her teeth turned jet black.

At age 6, her family held her down for female genital mutilation.

At age 50, Egypt’s government threw her in prison.

From her cell—using a smuggled eyebrow pencil on toilet paper—she founded the Arab Women’s Solidarity Association and ignited a feminist movement across the Arab world.
This is Nawal El Saadawi (1931–2021), the godmother of Arab feminism.

Born in a small Egyptian village, she refused to accept a culture that valued boys far above girls. She became a doctor, exposed the horrors of patriarchy in her groundbreaking book Women and Sex, and wrote landmark works like Woman at Point Zero.

Imprisoned under Sadat, censored, threatened with death, and forced into exile, she never stopped fighting—for girls facing FGM and child marriage, for women’s bodies and voices.

She ran for president at 74, wrote over 50 books, and outlived her oppressors.

Her rebellion started with blackened teeth and a defiant smile:
“No. I will choose my own life.”
And she did.

This is the battle we fight with Islamic extremism.

No mention of pornography in this article.

Not one.

@chicagotechmom @_samantha_joy From a few months old mine loved Peepo (Allan Ahlberg) with the repetition, rhythm and rhyme. We also enjoyed pointing things out in the illustrations as they are so detailed and lovely.

Dear ladies never forget that: The same world that shames me for being a single mother also shames you for not being a mother and shames another woman for having too many children..lt shames one woman for having a child at the age of 19 because she's too young but also shames another for having at 36 because she's too old..lt shames a woman who marries young as well as the one who marries old..It shames women who don't have beautiful bodies and shames those who go under the knife to get the bodies. This world shames all women, not a single one of us is spared, not a single one. So love and make yourselves happy.

No. Absolutely not.

Every one should listen and share:-

The Taliban's Minister of Education says that girls' schools are likely to remain closed permanently. After the initial ban, there was hope they might reopen, but that hope is now gone. They lied. The Taliban haven’t changed and remain the same fanatics they were.

It's always "parents' responsibility" to keep children safe online...never Mark Zuckerberg's.

Here he is using 13-year-old girls as bait for Meta.

Scumbag.

Next time the @UN holds talks with the Taliban or governments do business with them or the England cricket team plays the Afghan team...remember this. They wouldn't even pull women out from the rubble. They wouldn't let female doctors help.

I have such admiration for the bravery of @ellieokwilson

[Dr. Ann Olivarius @AnnOlivarius]

So far @ellieokwilson has taken on, and won:

Her rapist
Her rapist's lawyer
Her rapist's father.

That's rape culture in action. So many men falling over themselves to support men who rape. It shouldn't have to be this hard, but it is.

@GreenFemsUK I took a school trip to the Armouries in Leeds.The nearest toilets to the education rooms (floor 5) were gender neutral (the floor below). Had to check them for men before the girls were allowed in, had to check the staff ones before the boys were allowed. Kids not happy
