Aha, a quick guide to patriarchal oppression. A woman is not an action, it’s just a thing one happens to be.

@LauraON72 @LivingXXY Here's the thing: I think it's actually closer to how we really conceptualise "woman". We know it's not just a matter of biology, but a set of roles and expectations.

Someone really needs to start a conversation about the exorbitant difference between rail fines and road traffic fines. Deprive a company on revenue? Unacceptable. Massive fines. Risk the lives of people by dangerous driving? Slap on the wrist in comparison.

“The latest child poverty number is the highest since comparable records for the UK began”
A staggering stat from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation shows that the number of people in households at risk of being unable to afford enough food has risen by 53% in a year. From 4.7m to 7.2m.
Personally, I’d say this is a large misunderstanding of my lived experience!

@janeclarejones @NWtoG “Man is defined as a human being and a woman as a female - whenever she behaves as a human being she is said to imitate the male.” Simone de Beauvoir
“Feminism made the error of telling us to behave and think like men.” No. Feminism made the assertion that women should get to behave and think *like people.* The fact that many many many people still think that means *like men* is the whole damn problem.…
@petergates3 Would you prefer seeing what goes on in my classroom? Some are busy drawing on their skin, others have already lost their sheet, some are looking at the ceiling…very frustrating. when teachers do something effective they get criticised. Reality is most students barely read.

3 May 1881 | Czech Jewish woman, Ida Kornfeldová, was born in Prague. She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Theresienstadt ghetto on 28 October 1944. She was murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection.
Today's students were in reception when Clegg did us dirty.
@Liaanna_M @LauraON72 @DelanceyUK @BonfireLady @Nettleshippy @SocialCareWales But not about the well documented evidence showing huge harms created for children by poverty and lack of access to housing? Both things which can be addressed through the political system.
@Liaanna_M @minifingerz @LauraON72 @DelanceyUK @Nettleshippy @SocialCareWales This is a really difficult subject because yes, there are children/adults who find it difficult to process the idea that they are in part from a donor. But while it remains legal to do this, on balance, it makes more sense to be open about different types of family existing.
@CaraPac46808618 @LauraON72 @millihill I breastfed my two decades ago. A few years ago, in hardly behind-the-times Brighton, I sat near a young couple with a tiny baby. We got chatting and I got cooing and the mum said she didnt go out for long as she feared feeding in public. I felt so bad for her. Things are worse
2 May 1938 | A French Jewish girl, Renee Fajnsznajder, was born in Paris. She arrived at #Auschwitz on 11 February 1943 in a transport of 1,000 Jews deported from Drancy. She was among 832 people murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.
They knocked it out the park. Well done @harrow_council for their part in leading the team!
@Gillian_Philip @BBC @Channel4 One man lost his career in comedy for standing up for women, this one publicly threatens to murder one didn’t lose his headline spot at his gig, hasn’t been visited by the police, rather a lot of silence from the comedy industry. Go figure.
I'm going to lose all my followers but fuck it. Sometimes I see a young trans person and it's quite obvious they are trans. I notice. And then I do precisely fucking nothing, because it doesn't matter. I think eh, good luck kid, it's really tough to be different. That I know.
2 May 1935 | A French Jewish boy, Andre Benguigui, was born in Oran in Algieria. He arrived at #Auschwitz on 25 June 1943 in a transport ot 1,018 Jews deported from Drancy. He was among 418 people murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.
@CaraPac46808618 @LauraON72 @millihill You’re encouraging men to insert themselves between the mother baby dyad & laughingly tell us we need to challenge patriarchal norms. Patriarchal norms are men telling mothers not to breastfeed, to formula feed & control their lives. And you are doing the same. Go away it’s wrong
I stand by my quote in the Telegraph today: “As chair, I will not allow the UKCP to be bullied into turning a blind eye to the safety of children.” The safety of children has to be the number one priority to a regulator of child psychotherapy. telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/05/0…
