Using "people" when the issue exclusively affects women is like saying "All Lives Matter" in response to the murders of innocent Black people in the US.
It is a pretence that centuries of oppression are not relevant to the ongoing discrimination in the present.

โEqually unbelievably, the UK nominated Iranโ
Makes you want to weep
Unbelievably, Iran (yes, Iran) has just been elected to the UN Committee that sets the priorities for womenโs rights, counter-terrorism and peacekeeping. This, the country with an almost uniquely violent record of brutalising women, executing peaceful female protesters and of course sponsoring very widespread terrorism.
Equally unbelievably, the UK nominated Iran and although the voting is secret, we must assume it subsequently voted for Iran in the General Assembly. This is the same UK that is nominally run by PM Andy Burnham who declared only a few weeks ago that โwe will always stand with the underdog and take what action we can to support them.โ
If the young women of Iran who dare to remove their headscarves, or sing, or engage in peaceful protest to press for basic democracy arenโt the underdog in their battle with a vicious and murderous regimeโฆ who then is an underdog?ย
I canโt exaggerate how ashamed I am of my country. Iโm sickened and repulsed by what it has become. I barely recognise it. Burnham should hang his head in utter shame.
And as for the UN, it has come to embody institutional corruption and gaslighting on a global scale.ย
It put China, Qatar and Cuba in charge of the body charged with protecting human rights worldwide.
It put China, Cuba, Nicaragua, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan (all of which crush/ban NGOs in their own countries) in charge of the body that decides which civil-society groups and NGOs get UN accreditation and access.ย
It put Syria (under Assad) in charge the body that promotes education, culture, and press freedom.
How long must this continue? The UN has no credibility whatsoever and should be stripped back to the basics- a debating chamber for the big global issues of the day. And nothing more.ย
How can anyone defend this?

The UN are clearly UNfit for women.
We are dismayed (to say the very least) that they would even consider a country such as Iran as a member of any body that plays a role in shaping women's rights.
Iran oppresses women and girls. They oppress the female sex. We'll take no lectures from the UN on the rights of women while they even entertain this.

The Womenโs Policy Centre strongly opposes the appointment of the Islamic regime of Iran to key organ at the @UN shaping priorities on women's rights and terrorism prevention. We are calling on @AnitaAnandMP @MarkJCarney to reverse course. Canada can stop this travesty as @HillelNeuer rightly points out.

When I spoke at the UN in Geneva they cleared the room after me of all women because the Taliban would not entertain them in their Meeting! Disgraceful useless out of date organisation

๐๐จUsing contraceptives is a sin. Going to school is a sin. Working is a sin. Poverty has reached unbearable levels. This is Afghanistan today and Afghan women live under Taliban control . ๐

Egypt also borders Gaza.
Egypt also blockades Gaza.
Egypt also built a wall and flooded the tunnels.
How many anti-Egypt protests have you seen?

So Scottish cricket have said they wonโt play against Afghanistan but Scottish players are playing. Does that mean they will be dropped from the national team? It should imo .

These are the names of men prepared to play cricket with Afghanistan - while the country is a vast prison and torture camp for women and girls. Shame on them all. Moeen Ali, Joe Clarke, Alex Hales, Tymal Mills, Tom Moores, Olly Stone, Chris Wood, Luke Wood (England), and George Munsey (Scotland
Some of England and Scotlandโs top male cricketers have signed up to play in the Afghanistan Premier League Twenty20 tournament despite the ECB urging them to think about their daughters, sisters or mothers.
In Afghanistan women and girls are prohibited from playing sport, one of many human rights abuses inflicted on females by the Taliban rulers. The Afghanistan Twenty20 League matches will be held in the United Arab Emirates, and while it is yet to receive the go ahead from the International Cricket Council it is very likely to be approved.
The captain of the Afghanistan womenโs cricket team, Nahida Sapan, told the BBC Stumped podcast: โFor five years, girls in Afghanistan have been denied the right to play cricket and many other basic rights. Foreign players had a real opportunity to stand with millions of Afghan women and girls by choosing not to participate.โ
The men who are listed to play in the tournament are Moeen Ali, Joe Clarke, Alex Hales, Tymal Mills, Tom Moores, Olly Stone, Chris Wood, Luke Wood (England), and George Munsey (Scotland).
Womenโs Rights Network supports the women of Afghanistan. Our Afghan Women merchandise raises funds for educational projects for women and girls in Afghanistan.

I love how J.K. Rowling is liberal by virtually every conventional measure.
She created a cultural phenomenon beloved by billions across generations.
But because she disagrees with the left on ONE issue, sheโs portrayed worse than Hitler.
Itโs absurd.
People need to grow up.
You donโt have to agree with someone on everything. Disagreement isnโt hatred. Having a different opinion doesnโt make someone evil.
If your idea of tolerance only extends to people who agree with you, youโre not tolerant. Youโre just self-righteous.

The Supreme Court has vacated the 10th Circuit Courtโs ruling in favor of a trans-identifying male inmate who sued after being placed in a menโs prison. The lower court has been ordered to consider the issue again, giving weight to recent Supreme Court decisions, one of which directly stated that โmen and boys are not women and girls, not even when they think they are.โ In other words, SCOTUS told them to try again, and make a better decision this time.
This is fantastic news for women, and comes as something of a relief in the wake of the midterms. Even if the Democrats take the White House and Congress in 2028, the Supreme Court is unlikely to reverse itself. A woman is an adult human female, both in fact and under US law, and no amount of trans melodrama can change either one. It will take a shift in the makeup of the court for men to be able to legally identify as women in this country, and that wonโt happen anytime soon.

Remember: It is statistically more likely that a man raped someone than it is statistically likely he will be falsely accused of rape.
That is just a fact. If you donโt believe me go ask your favourite AI bot of choice because we both know you canโt fucking think for yourself.

Most of the people who are defending Russel Brand know he is a sex pest and a predator, they just donโt think sexual predation, aggressive non consensual sexual acts and grooming should be behaviour that is prosecuted in a court and subject to a prison term, particularly if the man seems to have desisted from the behaviour. The kind of workplace and social world that these men are condemning women and girls to, is one that is riddled with open predators, modelling behaviour to young men that ensures a continuation of a world for girls and women where they have to be constantly vigilant. This was very much the world of the 70s and 80s. Before the phase of feminism that brought in sexual harassment legislation and concepts of sexual consent, before marital rape became illegal. These same men despise feminism because it took away their liberty to completely violate the public peace of women and their private safety. I have nothing but contempt for them.

I don't think it will surprise anyone - man or woman - that almost all men have engaged in sexually coercive behaviour when they knew they didn't have woman's consent to begin with. Various stuidies suggest it, and men's behaviour in real life confirms it.
This piece is for men. Every time I write about how men systemically abuse women, my DMs explode with โNot All Menโ complaints.
But a new study goes one step further, and demonstrates that empirically, statistically, and factually, it literally is all men. And the data is horrifying. qasimrashid.com/p/russell-brโฆ

Theyโre terrified because they know rape doesnโt mean โstranger in a dark alleyโ now. Itโs the boyfriend who ignores no. The date that forces you to perform a sex act you didnโt want to. The friend who comes into your bedroom when he was supposed to be keeping you safe. And they know what they did.

So she told a TIM to F-off (presumably because she doesn't like 'girl dick'), but still supports TIM in female sports & trans ideology, generally? There must be so much cognitive dissonance going on in the minds of these people. And hypocrisy.

Exposing โgenderโ - how a belief system with no evidence was imposed globally - is exactly the kind of journalism @maddow is known for. In this interview she deliberately references only the US, and claims backlash to anti-women policy as solely far-right. She knowingly lies.

On the tiny island of Corvo in the Azores, about 450 people do something beautiful every autumn. ๐
For five nights, the whole island switches off its lights.
It's for the baby Cory's shearwaters. When the young seabirds leave their nests for the very first time, they follow the light of the moon and stars to find the ocean. But bright street lamps and windows confuse them. Many fly toward the village instead, crash, and can't take off again.
So since 2019, the islanders turn off the lights, and the night sky guides the chicks safely out to sea.
No laws, no big budget. Just a whole community deciding that a few dark nights are worth it. ๐ฆ๐
