"Men are afraid women will laugh at them - women are afraid men will kill them. It's not the same fear women experience when they think about their need for single-sex services."

Rapist Brock Turner is going by Allen Turner now because he thinks he should be able to just move on with his life. I disagree, so every time there’s an update I’m thrilled to share it far & wide. He’s in Dayton Ohio & looks like this now.
@therainend@joslyoung 1/ While evidence for males taking up more of the lower end of the bell curve does exist, a similar weighting of males at the high end of the curve simply does not exist. Nor do girls cluster around a middle point.
@gemusegurke@joslyoung It's not random, it is access. A girl who can't read can't outperform a boy who can, a girl who can't access higher education can't outperform a boy who can. Boys didn't get dumber, girls just gained access. The result was inevitable.
@LilBastardGob@joslyoung You are cherry picking a single study while ignoring the majority that say otherwise. Anonymity favours girls. Not only do girls experience more bias in grading this bias extends beyond grading and into the classroom. Girls get less teacher time, less funding & fewer resources.
@AnnastaciaMP, women's rights should not be up for debate. Women deserve the right to speak and meet freely without intimidation and fear. Self identification laws put women and girls at risk. #auspol
Men defining what a woman is, what women should and shouldn’t fear, what women should and shouldn’t say, what rights women should be fine with giving up and, of course, what constitutes ‘real’ misogyny: get a bloody mirror. That’s real misogyny, looking right back at you.

For clarification:
1. No Nazi on the planet supports women's rights, or is sympathetic to feminism. They hate us.
2. If the women at the Standing for Women rally are responsible for the Nazis turning up, then Billy Bragg, Owen Jones, and all the other Corbyn supporters/
This just popped up in my Facebook memories and despite my rage & despair at being misrepresented in the media & defamed by the leaders of Labor & the Liberals I laughed out loud. Everyday women will lead us out of this Orwellian ‘Gender’ Apocalypse! ✊
