It is very strange to publish an article on the gender dynamics of mass shooters and not mention that the two "female" shooters used as flagship examples here were biologically male. Males commit more than 90% of violent crimes.
[Repost b/c of audio issues] Thank you, @wicklowwomen4w1, for everything you do for the women of Ireland. The outlook is grim. Ireland wants to be best in class when it comes to LGBTetc. This means more self-ID (for minors and non-binary categories), surrogacy (“rainbow families”), and hate speech laws. Leo Varadkar is doing his part from Harvard now, lobbying his former colleagues for all of this. We need to draw a line. My speech from the Dublin conference.
3/3 I reiterate my call on the Committee to eliminate all references to “sex work” and “minor sex workers,” as these terms do not reflect internationally agreed on UN language nor are they recognized under international law. They also undermine established treaties such as CEDAW itself, the Palermo Protocol, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
I call again on the @CedawUn committee to continue to recognize the inherent violence and exploitation in prostitution, emphasizing the inextricable link between prostitution and other grave crimes such as trafficking in persons, torture, and inhumane and degrading treatment.

“These men believe the role of woman can be filled by a literal object – one that exists to be sexually penetrated. Essentially, they believe that women and objects are interchangeable, and women can only be interchangeable with objects if women are regarded as objects” ✍🏼 @caitlin_roper
If your politics makes a meaningful analysis of male violence impossible, it's a politics that enables male violence. It doesn't matter which violent males you're treating as exceptions - you've decided maleness doesn't count
As I said in my report to the Human Rights Council in June 2025:
"Particularly concerning is the fact that in a number of countries, such as.... #Canada .... the judiciary and the media call male perpetrators of violence by their self-declared gender identity, thereby also skewing the rates of male and female offending. Since women commit a very low number of violent crimes, ....even small variations can have statistically significant effects. Those statistical anomalies have been detected already in Canada.... Neutral approaches to #sex and #gender also enforce victim blaming of women, minimize abuse, enforce male privilege and affect the ability of State and other actors to identify and define violence against females as primarily male violence, rendering it more difficult to combat."
Midlands man’s ‘zero remorse’ for assaults and sharing intimate images of ex - Court hears victim was made have abortion and told she would leave in a ‘body bag’ during the worst case of domestic violence a judge has ever seen

The mob is out in force. The more I see of this cruel “activism,” the more convinced I am that I do not want them anywhere near me or my music, however that may affect my career. I won’t be held to ransom—no more blackmail. What I see more than anything is a spoiled and entitled childishness. I am not interested in being their “mother” or “queen”; these babies need to grow up and allow artists like myself the dignity of opinion and the space and freedom to create. Or let them have AI pop star avatars that never question them. Let the music industry do its worst; let it continue to infantilize and exploit them. Let them have a hologram, perfectly designed for an insular, echo-chamber culture. Perhaps I’ve lived through the last moments of the best period in popular music and, in fact, it’s over—or at least it is at the beginning of the end. If that is so, I have nothing to lose.
Just for the record, I have zero hate toward trans people; I do not deny anyone’s existence. The post that has caused such frantic panic among the trans activist mob is a graph that shows a steep decline in trans and non-binary identity in young people over the past few years in the USA. My declaration “it was never real” refers to the contagion that was undoubtedly aided by the submission of the media, captured medical institutions, and social media derangement. Recently, this wilfully blind and irresponsible behavior has been curtailed to some degree, as more and more people affected by it stand up and demand a long-needed audit of trans ideology, which continues to stamp its boot across anyone who decries its negative consequences. Children, families, women, and gay people have all been adversely affected by the insane belief that one can change sex—the core hallucination of this destructive and insidious movement—while bad faith actors have lined their pockets.
The arts as a whole are a shadow of their former free and inclusive selves. I’ve had the most free and fun time possible making the music I believe in over the past 30 years. If being a compassionate artist is to be my downfall now, then so be it. I know in my heart that one day, I will be remembered as a brave person, both morally and artistically uncompromising. In the long run, that will be my legacy.
The arrest of @glinner is indefensible & a threat to free speech.
It's an insult to all the women who have reported serious crimes, rape & domestic violence, & had to put up with inadequate investigations & police failures.
Such an indictment of current priorities.
