Gisèle Pelicot waived anonymity in a mass rape trial, so that "macho, patriarchal society that trivialises rape" could change. Her courage unfathomable, no honour too great, she stood up for ALL women, changed history and yet Time's Person of the Year is a male sexual assaulter:

Gisèle Pelicot is on the stand today and asked about her decision to continue using the surname "Pelicot".
Gisèle explains that when the trial began her children were "ashamed" of the name.
She adds: "I have grandchildren who are called that.
"Today, I want them to be proud of their grandmother.
"My name is known across the world now. They shouldn't be ashamed of carrying that name.
"Today we will remember Gisèle Pelicot."
Yes we will. What a woman.

Don’t think many little girls grow up wanting to have emergency surgery or chemo either but like that’s what healthcare is there for init

A funny, funny man.
Congratulations to @realDonaldTrump on your victory.
The UK has no greater friend than the US, with the special relationship being cherished on both sides of the Atlantic for more than 80 years.
We look forward to working with you and @JDVance in the years ahead.

Picture a queue of men six times as long:

We're at a turning point.
A Battle of Cable St moment of sorts.
What anti fascists do tonight in defence of those who give legal advice to refugees is a key part of opposition to far right thugs.

I keep thinking how 3 little girls were killed & more were hurt & traumatised, & instead of talking about their precious lives, we are being forced to focus on violent entitled white men burning cars & towns, who don’t give a shit about women’s & girls’ safety.

Only FOUR tickets left. If you fancy one, get your skates on. 🛼✨

Are women ‘leaving it too late’ or is society and the government withholding resources that make motherhood more accessible

In the wake of the triple murder of Carol, Hannah and Louise Hunt - and the terrible reporting that has ensued - @IPPR and @WileyGlobal have made our article on media reporting of domestic abuse killings open-access for one month.
Please read and share:

Please @YvetteCooperMP @jessphillips @Keir_Starmer do not use the murders of Carol, Hannah and Louise to simply ban crossbows. Do that if you will, but don’t do it to avoid the more difficult issue of male violence towards partners. And how about following through on the promises made after the murder of Sarah Everard - specifically - relentless pursuit of perpetrators. Risk escalation tracking should be standard practice by now.

Gavin Plumb had two previous convictions for attempted kidnapping and rape.
Taking men's violence and harassment of women and girls seriously the first time saves other women and girls.
