He raped a girl so brutally that her tampon had to be surgically removed. You have a daughter @jimmyfallon what the fuck is wrong with you. It is insane to me that this man has continued to be platformed and praised despite what he did.
To all the men who continue to kiss his ass, what if that was your daughter, sister, girlfriend, wife, or mother? What would you want to happen to the man who was responsible? How would you feel if the majority of people brushed off what happened and gave the man responsible millions of dollars and fame? Explain to me why he is allowed to live life as a free man after what he did.
what she actually said was that republicans love to try to ban queer-inclusive sex ed by calling it pornographic, and they responded by immediately proving her right.
Men won’t agree to a male babysitter for their daughters. They’ll get defensive if they see a grown man standing too close to their teenage child. They become anxious when their daughters are out late.
Yet when women speak about patterns of male harm, the response is, “Not all men.”
I NEEDED an endometrial biopsy.
I was bleeding for months. Passing clots the size of my palm. Fainting at work. Iron levels in the basement.
Doctor looked at my chart and said:
“You’re only 27.”
“Pain is normal for women.”
“Have you tried losing weight?”
“Sometimes women exaggerate cramps.”
“What if this is just stress?”
I said I can’t function. I can’t stand up without seeing stars. I’m scared.
He said:
“Let’s not jump to invasive procedures.”
“What if you want kids soon?”
“A biopsy can cause scarring.”
“You don’t want to risk fertility over heavy periods.”
Heavy periods.
Not hemorrhaging.
Not anemia.
Not collapsing in the shower.
Heavy periods.
He offered birth control for the fourth time.
I said, “I don’t care about preserving fertility. I care about not blacking out.”
He paused.
“Have you discussed that with your partner?”
So I brought him.
Doctor to him:
“Are you okay if she can’t have children?”
“You’re young. You might want a family.”
“Would that be a dealbreaker?”
Him:
“She needs to stop bleeding. That’s the only family planning we’re discussing.”
Suddenly the biopsy was scheduled.
Pathology came back: precancerous cells.
But sure.
Let’s center hypothetical babies and imaginary men while a woman is actively deteriorating in front of you.
Misogyny in medicine isn’t always loud.
Sometimes it’s just asking a dying woman if a man might want kids someday.
State of the comments underneath this. Imagine being so emotionally underdeveloped that a bar showing women’s sport feels like a personal attack. Masculinity so brittle it shatters at the thought of women not being interested in them 🥱
At the same time as Arsenal were sacking their kit man of 20+ years for making pro-Palestine, anti-genocide posts on social media they were protecting, and playing, a rapist
If the reaction over Ratcliffe’s offensive comments has taught us anything, it’s that (yet again) the “keep politics out of football” crowd are actually fine with politics being in football as long as it’s politics they share.
Ash Sarkar, "Jim Ratcliffe is a stinking hypocrite"
"He became a tax resident of Monaco to save £4 billion that could have gone towards British schools, the British NHS, towards British defence, instead he decided he wanted that money for his own pocket"
"If it wasn't for immigration, Manchester United would have had just three of their starting eleven last night - not really going to beat West Ham with that"
"The kind of language: being colonised by immigrants"
"That moves beyond talking about immigration as a policy"
"You're talking about people who come here to live, to work, to have families, as though they are a hostile occupying force, taking away your language, your culture, your ability to survive"
Victoria Derbyshire, "Some voters believe their language is taken away"
Ash Sarkar, "There are some people who believe the moon is made of cheese, but it doesn't mean they are right"
Well said @AyoCaesar 🧀
Arrest every single one of them and put them on trial for war crimes. None of us should have to live up the road from brainwashed religious fanatics murdering children on their gap year.
A "Sir" worth £30,000,000,000 and who moved his residency to Monaco to avoid tax....calls out immigrants as the problem.
This man is the manifestation of all that's wrong with society, not the poor person seeking a better life.
SICK of people saying they want the old UK back. We ALL do. WE want same day GP appointments, ambulances within mins, dentists, a decent police force, good education, affordable food, clean water ways, BUT it’s not migrants who caused this. It was 14 YEARS of Tory austerity! It’s corporations being put first and the people being put last. It’s capitalist GREED.
