A gender perspective is indispensable for understanding mass shootings, conflict and war. The overwhelming majority of perpetrators of lethal violence are men, yet most men never fire a weapon in anger. How come? This is a thread with examples of relevant research.

“You can’t tell people, ‘Starve and then seek freedom.’”

Women so often bear the brunt of politicking. Great piece from @AzadehMoaveni https://t.co/MUZPlmfkh1

As a researcher engaging w/ questions of ethics & positionality daily to ensure ‘do no harm’ - seems like sending someone to ‘follow’ a virus they might then spread is a massive unnecessary risk? ⁦⁦@nytimes⁩ https://t.co/61aQtkf3Yr

For @newhumanitarian, I write on the COVID-19 fight in contested and Taliban areas. The govt. and the Taliban have a common enemy in the pandemic. But health officials and aid groups say conflict is jeopardising efforts to contain the virus.

Caroline Fraser reviews Rachel Louise Snyder’s “invaluable, deeply reported” book ‘No Visible Bruises: What We Don’t Know About Domestic Violence Can Kill Us’ https://t.co/ZGMNhN0A08

[Soledad O'Brien @soledadobrien]

I know I yell about terrible media framing every day, but it never occurred to me that this is how the @nytimes would frame the President’s suggestion of injecting disinfectants into your body to cure Covid19:

“dangerously in the view of some experts”

Plenty of calls to action, doom and hope. But it's like that COVID-19 won't remake the world alone. (That's on us.) https://t.co/WTDxgCT3NN

Saw new article on COVID in Kabul - "Photographing poverty's pandemic: 'Afghans have learned to live with fear". @guardian are you comfortable running a headline like this? Is the Development section poverty porn? Instead read this on FP: https://t.co/lZdjHNDKJ3

@NVivobyQSR Hi @NVivobyQSR - DMs not working, is there still a way to get access? Thanks!

Doctors in the camp know that if the virus “gets in here, we’re finished... If it reaches, the camp will deteriorate quickly, and it will be fatal”. An update from the US-Mexico border, from @ivanflr on @ForeignPolicy https://t.co/EeNnQWuCNd

Pretty disappointed right now @dfat @Smartraveller - as an Aussie living & working abroad, I expect better support & response than a copy-pasted email when asking about local info from consulate during a pandemic! Also now no subscription for updates...

Graphs are useful but to really get what that rising curve is, have a look at the obituaries page of this Bergamo daily newspaper, comparing one from February with one from now

[Mujib Mashal @MujMash]

The piece by Siraj Haqqani in @nytopinion - which's independent of our news operations & judgment - omits the most fundamental fact: that Siraj is no Taliban peace-maker as he paints himself, that he's behind some of most ruthless attacks of this war with many civilian lives lost
