Any hospital that fails to recognise biological reality, thereby putting patients and staff alike at risk of harm, should be shut down.

The UK is a absolute joke atm.
Pedophiles are treated with kid gloves and women are treated like shit.

I agree with the victim here.

If someone moves to the UK and chooses to rape children then I want them kicked out as soon as possible.
I don't care where they come from, I don't care if they've made a life here, I don't care if sending them back is dangerous for them...I don't care.. you raped a child that's all I need to know. Bye now. 👋🏼

Is it Time to stop calling it “domestic abuse” or “violence against women & girls”?

It’s MALE VIOLENCE

When we identify the perpetrator rather than just the victim, we have a chance of eliminating it because we focus on the cause & not only it’s effect

[Annette Mckay @AnnetteMckay15]

Can we please have no handwringing politicians lighting candles for the murdered women? Can we have laws that protect women and punish violent men?

[Amanda G @mandas_g]

One day the nation will put up statues to Women like @sharrond62 @jk_rowling @KemiBadenoch and @RosieDuffield1 for their dedication to Women's rights in the face of fierce opposition.

Keep up the good work ladies. You ARE on the right side of history.

Hedy Lamarr was a Hollywood actress in the 1940s and 1950s, and she was considered "the most beautiful woman in the world" during her time.

She began her acting career in Austria and became notorious for being the first woman to simulate an orgasm on screen in 1933. It was during this time that she also got married to Friedrich Mandl, a Vienna-based arms dealer with ties to Mussolini and later Hitler.

The marriage did not last long. In her own words, she wrote, "I knew very soon that I could never be an actress while I was his wife... He was the absolute monarch in his marriage... I was like a doll. I was like a thing, some object of art which had to be guarded and imprisoned, having no mind, no life of its own."

According to her autobiography, she disguised herself as one of the maids and managed to flee to Paris.

Others say she convinced her husband to wear all of her jewelry for a dinner party and then disappeared afterward.

She eventually booked a liner to New York, where she met the head of MGM, who was impressed enough to offer her a $500-a-week contract to work as an actress.

In 1938, she arrived in Hollywood and went on to star in several movies, working with the likes of Clark Gable and James Stewart.

Beyond her acting career, Lamarr was also a scientist and co-patented spread-spectrum technology during World War II to prevent the Nazis from jamming navy torpedoes.

However, her invention was rejected and wouldn't be implemented until the Cold War in 1962. The technology would eventually be used in developing Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology.
