Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk now own more wealth than the bottom 40% of Americans combined.

As Louis Brandeis once said, “We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both.”

We can all change the way we talk about it.

As girls we are told, “don’t wear that it’s too short and you’ll get inappropriate attention”

We’re told, “don’t get too drunk you will be too vulnerable.”

“Put your keys between your fingers when walking alone.”

When will we start telling boys & men not to attack women?

Being a woman: my "outside" day finishes at sundown. If I haven't taken the dog for a walk/jogged by then, I can't. In the winter, it often means the choice between exercise and work. Today, I had to stop work at 4 to exercise. My husband worked until 6, and is now off for a run.

I am 45 and it is 2021 and I am essentially under a curfew. Like all women. And there are absolutely no exit plans for this. It's just presumed women will stay home when it's dark ... forever.

For #InternationalWomensDay you need to know about a truly inspiring palaeontologist called Joan Wiffen.

Without any formal scientific training Joan taught herself, and became an outstanding scientist in the process.

Can’t stop thinking how bizarre and relevant it was that on International Women’s Day a male, middle-class man turned media crook was telling black women what racism is.

Ok, Laurence Fox has 235k followers and campaigns on a platform of hatred. I have 81k followers and campaign on a platform of anti-racism and pro-NHS issues.

Can we make my ‘voice’ louder than his on Twitter?

Follow and RT me. Let’s do this 👍

I’ve had a rough couple of weeks.
I’m alright now and I’m safe as always, but I thought I’d tell you about it xx

“It’s easy to imagine childbirth as a harrowing experience for a medieval woman, with little access to pain relief, or control over what was happening to her. However, the birthing chamber was well-equipped,” writes @elmabrenner https://t.co/EO3kB3cUgs

I wish I could make points as well as this

[Hallie Rubenhold @HallieRubenhold]

Poor men. For thousands of years they held no power, they had no voice. The laws were made to favour women. They were considered property to be owned women. Women were always paid more than them, society was structured to keep them home, making children and keeping house.
