For training to have an impact individuals have to: (1) want to be there (2) believe there are things they don’t know (3) be receptive to learning new information even if it challenges core beliefs. The ppl who need it most generally don’t meet these criteria.

Texas pregnancy deaths are up 14% and sepsis is up 400% since Roe was overturned. Texas ERs are refusing treatment to women who are miscarrying because the treatment required can be construed as an abortion. If you don't understand what I'm talking about, educate yourself. Pregnancy is the biggest danger most young women will face. The government should not be interfering in women's healthcare. Period.

“You cannot court-order a relationship into existence. You cannot timetable love. All private human relationships should be based on consent.” @NataliePage
⚖️ CASE LAW: ENGLAND AND WALES 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 The court said an order would give a 15-year-old “emotional permission” to see his father, but he felt he was being forced. Nine months of refusal later, the same judge discharged the contact order between the 15 year old boy and his father. Of course, the mother was ordered to uphold the order, which she couldn't with a teenager who voted with his feet. The father sought to punish her via enforcement applications. But the order itself had become the problem, not the solution. He said he’d be more likely to go if nobody forced him to do it. District Judge Anthony recognised this and made the right call, by discharging the contact order. In my book, I reveal the machinery of forced relationships, and how that can be the damage in itself. You cannot court-order a relationship into existence. You cannot timetable love. All private human relationships should be based on consent. 📕 My book on how abusive fathers weaponise family courts against mothers and children: The System Is The Weapon amzn.eu/d/0gqX3ZqQ ⚖️🔗Link to judgment: [2026] EWFC 277 (B) bailii.org/ew/cases/EWFC/OJ/…

“Nearly half of women aged 16-24 experience online violence, report shows. One in five 16-24-yr-olds say they are recommended social media content that is humiliating, degrading or sexually violent towards women most or every time they use it.” Horrific. 😭news.sky.com/story/nearly-ha…

Watching this video renders the judicial response all the more shocking. This is a premeditated attempted murder.
KW co-founder Carole Gould and Nick Gazzard, whose young daughters were both murdered by ex-partners, spoke to the BBC about how the Cirencester stabbing case highlights the importance of improving education and sentencing around domestic violence. bbc.com/news/articles/c6lyr9… Carole, whose 17-year-old daughter Ellie was murdered in 2019, said that the non-custodial sentence the 14-year-old was given was misogynistic and sent completely the wrong message. She stressed how societal change was needed, starting with harder-hitting education in schools – continuing up to the age of 18 – about violence against women and girls. Nick Gazzard, whose 20-year-old daughter Hollie was killed in 2014, and set up the Hollie Gazzard Trust @HollieGazzardT, which teaches groups of young boys in schools about dealing with rejection, was also very disappointed with the sentence.

The primary victims of mass surveillance worldwide, are women and girls. From state surveillance to misogynist extremists, women's privacy is consistently violated and victims worldwide are cataloged, monitored, and preyed on like livestock.
Meta glasses are being used for covert harassment and group stalking. Women and girls are being secretly filmed in streets, schools, restaurants and on dates, then uploaded for millions of strangers. Police inquiries now span worldwide. #OpDeathEaters yacnews.com/meta-glasses-use…

Ladies & Gentlemen, I give you, The Christian Taliban:
If you think women should be able to vote, have jobs, live alone, or have unsupervised access to one another, that is because "you have normalcy bias for insane world": "You're living in an insane asylum and you think it's the normal world." peoplefor.org/rightwingwatch…

Meta will helpfully protect us from the dangers of a feminist play from 1928, but not large-scale sexual trafficking of children in 2026. Priorities, I guess? Turns out we *still* need a room of our own, digitally too. theguardian.com/technology/2…

Hello everyone, this is a message from inside prison, from a young Iranian woman who is about to be executed. Please help me to amplify her voice before they hang her. 💔 «Remember my name, maybe I will not be able to speak again.» This is the voice of Najmeh Amini, a 23 year old accounting student, speaking from Vakilabad Prison in Mashhad. In her voice message she says: «Be my voice. I am an innocent girl, a young woman full of hopes and dreams.» Najmeh is one of the detainees of the January uprising . She spent months in detention without a verdict, denied access to a lawyer of her choice and pressured during interrogation. In August, her trial was held at the Revolutionary Court of Mashhad on charges of «assembly and collusion» and «insulting sacred values.» She said in her voice message that her death sentence was issued on September 16, 2026. In her own words: «People, I only want justice and the chance to defend myself.» And this is her dream: «Before the rope ends my life, let me see my Iran prosperous and free.» Be her voice and all of political prisoners, especially those at risk of execution. #NajmehAmini #StopExecutionsInIran

And as the judge sentenced the boy with a three-year restraining order for stabbing the girl multiple times (which he called "a very troubling event"), he said that he did not think the boy was a "danger", and that "He's still young. And he is capable of learning". bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cxq6…

I don't think women appreciate, or even know, that drugging & raping your wife was, & still is in some states, protected violence for husbands. We're only hearing about it now because men decided to invite other men to rape their wives too.
Replying to @JessPected
Oklahoma, the state that in 2017 tried to make abortion a man's decision, didn't (partially) close marital rape loopholes until 2021. And apparently it still has exceptions. (Worth noting as more husbands are outed for drugging & raping wives.)

Did you notice: When a woman is charged w/ homicide, her sex often included in headline. When a man is charged, his sex seldom included in headline. When a woman is a victim, her sex often omitted in headline. When a man is a victim, his sex often included in headline. Once you see it, you cannot 'unsee' it.

So not only do we have a man facing trial in the UK for drugging his wife so that other men can rape her, but a woman in Austria who DIED from the exact same thing. Then there’s the guy in America who drugged HIS wife, and the Pelicot case in France that originally brought this behavior before the public eye, and the tens of thousands of other men (at least!) who also get off on this vileness….and it’s barely made an impression on anyone but women.
