A reminder for everyone: From 1913–1923, the Ottoman Empire—current Turkey—carried out genocidal campaigns against Armenians, Greeks and Assyrians, killing 1.5M Armenians, 700K Greeks and 500K Assyrians for being Christian. A century later, Turkey still denies responsibility.

Breastfeeding is for babies, ‘chestfeeding’ is for narcissists.

A thousand times, this.

"Women are just as bad as men."
Show me 3 examples of a man being gang r@ped by women.
Show me one instance of women trafficking men at scale. Name one law women drafted specifically to oppress men. Name one country that systemically discriminates against men more than women.
Show me men with melted faces from gender based acid attacks.
Show me men being killed for rejecting a woman's proposal.
When you find those examples We can talk about "just as bad."
Until then. Stop pretending.

People who don’t know the difference between ‘entomology’ and ‘etymology’ bug us in ways we cannot put into words.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

The more nonsensical and obviously absurd a belief is, the more people who hold it (or pretend to) will resist recanting. The potential for humiliation rises in direct proportion to the ridiculousness of what they've publicly swallowed. They see no choice but to double down.

Only just seen this as a comment on my pinned crowdfunding post.

He is referencing the stained glass front door to my house to show he knows my address. These are the people Maugham weaponised when he made his false and defamatory accusations against me.

I repeat: if I harm myself because of this, or someone else harms me - will there be any ‘soul searching’ on the part of those who directed hate to my actual front door?

Perhaps the worst thing Alison said was that she didn't need to check facts with WRN NI because "it was a column". When I was commissioning columnists at The Economist, if any one had suggested that because it was a column they could make stuff up, I'd never have accepted a file from them again.

@HJoyceGender Brava!

"Some men are very dangerous to women & extremely devious so let's remove sex based safeguarding" is the most recklessly stupid position to espouse.

[Elaine Miller | Venus Envy @GussieGrips]

“Some people hold right wing views therefore women need to give up rights to privacy, safety and dignity” is not an argument. Women with right wing views, even views which are wholly objectionable, are also entitled to their rights.

@AllisonMorris1 - go and read some Dworkin.

@JournalismSEEN Allison was shockingly unprepared for this interview.
How utterly embarrassing.

As a Black man who lives in Ukraine, I found it prudent that I write my own eulogy for Lindsey Graham.

He loved Ukraine more than he loved Black folks. He defended Ukraine’s democracy, but undermined ours at home because his racism was just that bad.

If you’d rather chant slogans and look the other way you are complicit in this appalling scandal. It could never have happened without the support of a cultish culture that has demonised whistleblowers, hounded victims and attempted to scare the rest of us into silence.

1. Women’s spaces are for women. It’s irrelevant how the women look.

2. Men don’t belong in women’s spaces. It’s irrelevant how the men look.

3. Most trans-identified men would give at least one ball to look like Sharron Davies.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Yes, period huts are back. Because girls just aren’t embarrassed and awkward enough about menstruation.

But what happens when the trans-identified boy feels excluded from the period hut? What if he feels less of a girl? Perhaps it would be easier just to tell girls to stay home.

[Bev Jackson @BevJacksonAuth]

The “gender transition” industry is driven by two main factors: financial greed and ideological zeal. The financial motives are clear from graphs projecting soaring profits in this billion-dollar industry.

Zeal: middle-aged men justify their craving for hyper-stereotypical “feminine” attire by asserting they were “born that way”. To prove it, they encourage distressed teenage girls and young women - whose distress has multiple different causes, unrelated to the cravings of middle-aged men - to “identify” as “trans”. This is then used to back up their false origin story.

And the results are a large cohort of young women - mostly lesbians - who have seriously damaged their physical and mental health.

Living in a luxury house in London and sipping champagne on the book festival circuit is about as far away from serving a prison sentence as I can imagine. It’s worth remembering that thanks to Nicola Sturgeon vulnerable women in Scottish prisons are banged up with violent men.

@nomcebo_mkhali You have sisters right across the world who love what you're doing for girls in your country! 👏💕💪
