I wrote an Op Ed for @thetimes.com on how adults might best respond to #Adolescence ‘Having boys watch Adolescence won’t help adults listen’ If we don’t listen, we can’t learn. If we don’t learn, we can’t help www.thetimes.com/article/d822...

Having boys watch Adolescence won’t help adults listen

To find out what’s going on in the lives of our boys and young men requires time, humility and structure, not a Netflix TV series

Excellent to listen to this brilliant man on BBC’s Politics Live today… @michaelconroy.bsky.social Wisdom and clarity about what kids get from social media and the manosphere. As a mum of two boys, a feminist and a believer in equality we need to counteract harmful messaging for everyone’s sake.

If you spike women’s drinks so that you can sexually assault them, then it is desirable, imperative even, that you experience profound, revelatory shame, as a catalyst for ending your behaviour. It’s the only way you’ll ever stop, short of dying. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Men who publicly claim to be 'feminists' are often at least as misogynistic / abusive as the men who publicly say that they hate feminism. Neil Gaiman is a classic example of that specific brand of #gaslighting nymag.com/press/articl...

Worth noting that the middle-aged women #greggwallace finds so objectionable are of the demographic who've been routinely dismissed as 'TERFS' for the past 10 yrs. It's almost as if there's something about mature women, wise to male abuse strategies, that abusive men don't like. Who'd a thunk it?

Just been writing something about men who use the fact that women are losing their reproductive rights to tell women to shut up about other things and how this indicates these men don't actually care that much about reproductive rights. It's like I'm psychic.

Sturgeon’s friend Swinney has been left to clean up the mess created by her obsession with identify politics….The lanyards are fraying now…But women are still dying prematurely because of their sex. That is Nicola Sturgeon’s enduring legacy. Me in @TheScotsman www.scotsman.com/news/opinion...

As SNP government contradicts itself over ‘pregnant men’, the real gender scandal goes unnoticed

Women earn less than their male counterparts, will have a smaller pension and may even be denied life-saving medicine – all because of their sex

There’s an awful lot of selectiveness around the types of #BodilyAutonomy which matter - how about the right to bodily autonomy in breathing clean air and walking on land owned by the rich, swimming in clean seas and rivers, stopping work before old age? Interesting, no?
