I am not sure where to even begin with this. We teach girls to be ashamed of their bodies, to be judged (and judge themselves) by the male gaze, give them the message that the length of their skirt is really the problem. It isn't. Misogyny is the problem.

[Shabnam Nasimi @NasimiShabnam]

The Taliban have reportedly ordered male doctors NOT to treat female patients.

So, if women are BANNED from university & can’t study to become doctors, and now can’t be treated by male doctors, then what are they supposed to do? Die from sickness?

[Ellie Flynn @ellieflynn]

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK. Giving a huge platform to a man to fantasise about violence against a woman he wants to “parade naked through the streets” dangerously legitimises the violent thoughts of men all over the country.

[BAFTA @BAFTA]

Jodie Comer and Florence Pugh.

You're welcome.

[Stevie Nicks @StevieNicks]

Happy Halloween 🌙

[National Theatre Live @NTLive]

Prima Facie has become the biggest event cinema release of all time in the UK 😱

[Reading & Leeds Fest @OfficialRandL]

RIP Taylor Hawkins 💛 Your infectious energy and amazing stage presence will forever be missed 😢

To honour him, here’s a video of The Foo Fighters at RandL19 performing Sunday Rain ❤️

Until you can empathise with a woman on the basis of her humanity, and not her proximity (imagine if that was your mum, sister, daughter etc), you still have work to do.

Nobody’s first choice is a boat across the cold, dangerous sea.

The government could save lives, if they wanted to, by expanding safe routes for asylum seekers. These deaths are a result of a political choice.

[Zach @_zach_thomas]

And just like that problem over

[Liv @_1ivvi]

a massive database tracking and storing women’s locations that the police are working in tandem with…what could possibly go wrong

[sssshhh @intuitivearies]

you’ve been outsmarted by us, we cover our drinks now and keep an eye on them, we have special liquids to see if a drink has been spiked, so now people are injecting girls with drugs and muscle relaxants on a night out in order to r*pe them. How do you protect yourself now?

[❤️ Jameela Jamil ❤️ She/Her ❤️ @jameelajamil]

Being a woman is terrifying. (Too many) Men are terrifying. And if you are a man who isn’t doing something to educate the men around you about not being terrifying then you are on their side and you condone how terrifying they are and how terrified we have to be just to exist.

[Ruqaiya @ruqaiya_h]

Every emerging detail around him is disgusting. This is not one bad apple, this is a rotten tree that
ignored his transgressions every step of the way. #WayneCouzens

[hans @voteforhani]

i feel like we kind of glossed over two women being murdered in a satanic ritual in a London park and police officers finding and taking selfies with the bodies

[Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu @SholaMos1]

Bloody hell! The Met Police must be mad. Disgusting. The list appears to be getting longer on what women must do to save themselves from male violence!!!!!
