Feminism is not an attack on men just as the phrase “the patriarchy” does not mean “men”. Feminism will help free MEN from the patriarchy—which is a multilayered system of oppression tied together by gender roles that harms us all and prevents a just world from existing.

@sandela @drcopps Fecundability is the word you are looking for. It is more specific to conception vs fecundity which is more specific to live birth.

@FionaMattatall Getting home post-call from a wild one like:

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

On #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay, a reminder to stop saying “Canada’s Indigenous peoples”. Indigenous peoples were here long before Canada.

But do feel free to talk about Canada’s ownership of: Residential Schools, MMIWG2S, First Nations water advisories & an ongoing genocide.

[Santanna @SMHernande]

Any tips on getting pre-clerk elective in Calgary area. I have emailed 60+ people, almost no responses. Need a week for June 28-July 2nd, for a mandatory component of my education. Help #MedTwitter #YYC

No matter what the numbers are, there are not supposed to be grave yards at schools, ever.

There is no space to disregard the lived experiences of BIPOC communities. @SchulichMedDent and @WesternU you need to use your platform to do the work of anti-racism, beginning with addressing your COO’s comments regarding the hate crime that took place in your city.

[Allison Brown @allison_brown99]

Medical schools in 2020: "we're committed to anti-racism"

Medical school COO in 2021: "I, a white man, am telling all people of colour their experiences of racism aren't real"

Denial is the heartbeat of racism. Horrified to know these voices lead @SchulichMedDent.

As an indigenous person, reconciliation is of great importance to me.

I need people to hear this plea. I need people to share this information.

With everyone they know.

I’m asking for the attached thread to be amplified widely.

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

215 Indigenous children found dead.

215 reasons to learn about residential schools.
215 reasons to reflect on Canada's blood stained colonial past.
215 reasons to face this country's role in genocide.

An infinite number of reasons why an entire country should be grieving.

@FionaMattatall @CBCFletch @noelkeough @AHS_media @drdagly @hawkdawk Patients in this wave are more likely to experience severe illness. Check out this data shared by @dryosefb :

[Viki Male @VikiLovesFACS]

This @NEJM paper did long-term follow-up on 3958 #pregnant ppl who received a #COVID19 #vaccine.

👉🏻 No increased risk of pregnancy-specific adverse events (including #miscarriage).

So why are ppl claiming it shows a 24x increased risk of miscarriage? 🧵

The high school graduation rate for girls is higher when they have better access to contraceptives. There's no denying that defunding Planned Parenthood results in less educated women. This is what the GOP wants. They don't want to empower. They want to oppress women.

[UN Women @UN_Women]

Retweet if you're here with us feminists.

[Lisa Richardson MD @RicharLisa]

In addition to honouring missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and gender diverse people today (and every day), one of the actions that we can take on Red Dress Day is to commit to reading the report of the National Inquiry.

1/ My son is “white passing”. Today in class they had someone talk about anti-indigenous and anti-blackness in class. The guy asked if anyone was native, my son did not raise his hand in a class full of Caucasian kids.
