[Professor Michael Flood @MichaelGLFlood]

Boys and young men coercing girls and young women into sex: "We need to move beyond thinking “what if this was our daughter?” and start considering “what if this was our son?” Parents must talk to their sons about consent - earlier, and more explicitly. https://t.co/b7eSJfzPTk

Very important that media reporting follows such guidelines - uses active terms, with evidence based language and is respectful of the victims.

How the media should report on violence against women: Great guidelines from Our Watch on media and news reporting, with both 2-pager and 20-page guidelines. See https://t.co/eEfa96pShc @OurWatchAus

Thank you Grace Tame - Words Matter

[Katrine Hildyard MP @KatrineHildyard]

Thank you Grace Tame for your courageous voice

Following Grace’s advocacy, #saparli has legislated to ensure predators are not charged with an “unlawful sexual relationship with a child" but rather “sexual abuse of a child" reflecting the vile nature of the crime

Words matter.

As Michael Flood states: Feminists offer men a gift. “Feminism gives men a chance to be fully human, to strive for richer and more meaningful lives than patriarchy could ever offer.”

[Professor Michael Flood @MichaelGLFlood]

Why should men embrace feminism? First, for justice: it’s the right thing. If we take seriously the values of dignity, solidarity, and equality, we should support feminism. Second, out of self-interest. Yes, patriarchy gives men various advantages. But they come at a cost.

Wow Michael - What are they so afraid of? Where is their expertise?
Promoting healthy masculinity worriesthem...

[Professor Michael Flood @MichaelGLFlood]

The social science explaining why Fox News wants you to believe masculinity is under threat (Things aimed at helping men and promoting healthy masculinity -- such as the APA guidelines or the Gillette ad -- are twisted into attacks on male identity.) https://t.co/q6u98HuF9z

[Tarang / तरंग (he/him) @tarang_chawla]

Since appearing on @ABCthedrum last week discussing @ANROWS community attitudes about violence against women, it's troubling to see people writing to say "both sides" are responsible. When men are literally MURDERING women often, there's no "both sides" to this debate.

[Equality Australia 🌈 @EqualityAu]

We condemn in the strongest terms the transphobic displays and hate speech which took place outside the Victorian Parliament today.

These actions should be a clarion call to ensure transphobia does not take hold in our public and political discourse.

[Professor Michael Flood @MichaelGLFlood]

The monster myth: Tom Meagher on the myths about the men who assault and rape women, myths that allow us to ignore that most rapists are normal guys, guys we might work beside or socialise with, our neighbours or even members of our family.
