With the heaviest of hearts we have had to withdraw from the AP15s, due to this unfortunate circumstance we will not go down without a fight.

We know that not all men rape & murder women. But a great many men engage in continual, low-level, unrecorded intimidation, which hints towards the threat of assault that men (historically & today) wield over women who “stray” into "their" territory. https://t.co/k5PAz1au3C

Sympathetic and comprehensive article on some of the constraints that women experience in exercising in public space, which I’ve been tweeting about recently. Thanks @MalachyClerkin! https://t.co/lQGRAIky8d

@drrachelhewitt Should have emphasised this was always men/boys. Without exception.

@drrachelhewitt One evening there were a group of us running and I counted 10 cat calls or beeping of horns in a half hour run. Men sort your shit out.
I now run with headphones so even if they do try and interrupt I don’t hear them.

@drrachelhewitt When I was younger I had the usual comments from vans etc. on a pretty steady and guaranteed basis. “Smile” being a particular shabby favourite. I’ve had young lads run behind me mocking me, kids throwing stones (that was with a group of women).

I'm writing an article called 'Why Joe Biden is the modern style icon every man needs.' What should I include?

Here's the story with the complaint. It's horrifyingly detailed so many trigger warnings on this one: https://t.co/fFZxXBO6hK

@CaptChaos43 Well that was definitely the more adult way to handle it but also frustrating and rage inducing.

@CaptChaos43 You could always take a leaf out of my book. In my first job I told them to "fuck off and do it their fucking self" #burnbridges

I’ve said it many times before. And I’ll say it once again. Algorithms are biased because people are. Algorithms are trained on historic data patterns which incorporate systemic social inequalities. This is why algorithms used for A- level grades are biased & hugely problematic.

Parents got a back-to-work notice on Friday just as the summer holidays began.

But they got no support for structured activities, no summer catch-up schemes, and no support for a childcare sector on its knees.

We need proper support for parents. https://t.co/hu67QbKEoZ
