In June, @finnfox.bsky.social provided powerful challenges to current debates, arguing that we should stop seeking to 'save' masculinity, that radical feminism is good for men, and that we should show support for trans people at a time when they're being so scapegoated: nowandmen.net/episode/finn...

Shamima Begum was the beginning of something in so many ways, one of which was 'the last government's inability to just do its job properly (in this case by passing legislation that would have allowed it to prosecute her here at home) and instead going 'no option but to undermine all our rights'.

I’m sure the “protect our women and girls” brigade will have plenty to say about this👍🏼 There are indeed some parts of our society that don’t treat women properly… Here is a former TORY Councillor (and 5 OTHER men) charged with the rape and sexual assault of HIS WIFE 🧵 1/10

Sometimes online I see people trying to understand how Epstein managed to create & build this network of rich &/or culturally powerful people around him, mainly men, but some women in that network too, & the significance of grooming & rape in that construction build....

Happy Christmas!

Alice Sullivan tells universities to suppress pro-trans research to protect GC staff. However, HER OWN DATA shows pro-trans research is already more suppressed. When I told the BBC this, they edited out any reference to the data. They have now corrected the record. www.bbc.co.uk/helpandfeedb...

There is no such thing as "toxic masculinity" because there aren't degrees of a constructed hierarchy to keep women inferior to men. There isn't a polite way of doing that, the system is a binary & is itself the problem. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Toddlers use their toes as a weapon. Curled over or arrow set, bone-hard five packed bullets like a shard in your calf, back, face! Then they birl around like a horizontal dervish. Very discomforting co sleeping.

The Cass Review is the worst kind of pseudoscience & has at least 13 peer-reviewed critiques of it (all ignored by mainstream media). Streeting now wants a Cass Review for Autism, ADHD, etc. I have characterised these as “contrived authority” strategies (referring to the work of Max Weber) 1/2

This #InternationalDayOfPersonsWithDisabilities I thought I'd share some reflections from our Intersections of Sociology with Crip Theory and Critical Disability Studies and Mad Studies Symposium. #Crip #Mad #Disabled #Disability #Neurodivergence autisticltd.co.uk/2025/06/20/e...

I thought I could not be shocked by what prominent transphobes feel able to say about me. Turns out I was wrong. Here is Richard Dunstan, a prominent commentator closely associated with the Sex Matters charity, speculating that I enjoyed being sexually assaulted as a child.

Today I learned that stalking a 17 year old girl, writing up a 400 page 'dossier' about her, falsely reporting her to the police and smashing her phone does not constitute 'harassment'. One wonders what *would*.

I don't actually care whether Farage is personally racist. I care whether he continues to promote racist ideas and policies. Which he does. What he truly believes in his heart is an irrelevance to me.

The IOPC statement on Harshita's case shows that the UK govt is failing women, especially from marginalised communities. Her family calls for accountability & justice. With Killed Women, we wrote to the PM to urge reforms based on our recent report. southallblacksisters.org.uk/submissions-...

TransLuscent doing their thing: diligent, meticulous information gathering to find the evidence we never doubted. Nobody’s complaining about trans people taking a pee except GC activists who complain daily into the ether. But even they can’t complain about actual incidents, since there aren’t any.

Hmm, finally working through the updated SRE guidance for next year. Point 68 why are primary schools only "encouraged" to teach about healthy loving relationships inc same-sex parents in families. Why is this not a "should"?
