Get ALL political messaging out of public services: police, nhs, education & transport for starters. Treat everyone with respect equally & simply do the job paid to do, away from ideologies & rainbow lanyards.

I have found her!!! This is the genius behind the We Do Not Care club!!

Club members,

Here is my contribution:

We Do Not Care if you don’t like looking at our legs. Shaving once a month is plenty. If that.

I will not be lectured on women’s rights by any man, least of all the type who would have drowned me as a witch in the 1600s, locked me in an asylum for being outspoken in the 1800s, or lobotomised me in the 1950s for refusing to submit and obey.

Fuck off.

People in The Guardian referring to rape of children as part of a "culture war" shows their priorities. You either believe in the safeguarding of women and girls or you don't.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

To paraphrase Marie Shear: feminism is the radical notion that women, too, are humans with rights.

A woman is a human female, as set out by the Equality Act.

A coward is a bloke who beats up women, or a bloke who excuses it.

@MrBruffEnglish Thank you for sharing, the kids I work with really benefit from how clear you are 😊

The Victorian times in Britain wasn’t *that* long ago in terms of history so it’s interesting to me to think we’ve only had female only toilets in public spaces since then.
When women first wanted to break free from what is known as the “urinary leash” and have public toilets for girls and women - it was met with enormous resistance.
Men used to smash the toilets up so that women couldn’t use them, to prove a point that women shouldn’t have these spaces, some would complain that it’s going to cause too much of an inconvenience in society.

Today, some men who pretend to be women also make the claim that having female only spaces is too much of an inconvenience to society.

So I think there’s always been a problem with women having female only spaces.

I'm going out, said Wolf, I want to get a box of Cadbury's. But it's absolutely pouring down, said Old Fox. Why don't I make you something instead. There's some chocolate cake left over from Sunday. I don't care about cake and I don't care about wet, said Wolf, fed up with January, never ends, need some proper chocolates in a proper box with a proper ribbon.

@HughesHaili I’ve been putting off the last chapter of Lust for Life about Vincent Van Gogh for the same reason 😭
