When my mum saw this today she said she felt like "father Ted when he won that award". Me and my superwoman in @guardianfamily

'If you really want to take the temperature of a country, have a close look at how well - or how badly - it treats its women and girls'. An evergreen passage, by @marisajbate from her book And Still We March, about how we search for hope during a dark period in women's rights.

Heartbreaking words from @marisajbate today which sadly say it all: “The message is deafening: women’s lives don’t matter. And if they don’t matter, then, by the embedded laws of the patriarchy, which is having a really fucking good day, men can treat women as they choose….

A pregnant young girl in Texas went to three emergency rooms, pleading for help. One sent her away after she tested positive for sepsis. Naveah Crain died on October 29, 2023. She was 18. propublica.org/article/nevaeh…



Will never get over the Twitter/Insta divide. Twitter rn = transnational collective anxiety meltdown/lowa/polls/percentage points/I’m doing this for my daughter. Insta = do you like my dress


hold on to your maternity leave, ladies

🎉 Starting today, all abortion clinics in England and Wales will now have 150-meter Safe Access Zone, ensuring harassment-free care for everyone. Thank you to all our supporters - we couldn’t have done it without YOU! 💪💜 #SafeAccessZones #AbortionRights

The Taliban seem to have banned women in Afghanistan from talking to each other, even in their own homes. @marisajbate as lucid and powerful as ever:

Turned on @BBCRadio4 at the most @BBCRadio4 moment ever: “why is the ruckus over hummus pots still rumbling on?”


great work from @RefugeCharity featuring real words spoken by Billie Piper youtube.com/watch?v=OZno7c…


There’s a very long, very painful and very deadly history of women and girls have to “prove” their pain and not being believed. On it goes.

Imagine knowing this man is trying to kill you and you’re told to call a non-emergency line. Now two children will grow up without their mother. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

The two child limit was introduced by George Osborne and has pushed whole households into poverty. Why isn’t the Labour government ditching it? theguardian.com/society/2024/s…

📢 Protection zones around abortion clinics to be in force throughout the country to protect women from intimidation and harassment. From 31 October, attempts to influence the decisions of abortion service users or employees within a 150m radius of a clinic will become illegal.

Heartwarming to see the European Parliament give a standing ovation to Afghan women leaders. I hope this translates into real support for the 20 million Afghan women imprisoned by the Taliban.

A healthy 28-year-old mom is dead. Not because doctors couldn't help her; because they refused until it was too late. Because they feared HELPING HER would land them in prison. A young mom is dead. A 6-year-old boy lost his mom. "Everybody wanted this," Donald Trump told us.

It takes something more than courage to go out on the streets of Kabul when your face and voices are banned and chant against your oppressor. The women of Afghanistan will not submit to darkness and will fight for light. More power to them.

Brave women in the streets of Kabul are protesting the Taliban’s repression and demanding their fundamental rights. We hear you, see you, and stand with you. You are a force of nature and an inspiration for us not to give up.



He’s just so bad at this

Vance: “I don't think most Americans are going to be influenced by a billionaire celebrity who is fundamentally disconnected from the interests and problems of most Americans” 🤔



What else is the threat of giving a woman a child but the threat of rape? The world’s richest man is nothing but a troll, having endless children he ignores, happiest in a basement with a wifi connection debaseing women who won’t pay him attention otherwise


Marisa Bate Reposted

I’m sorry but the richest man on the planet casually telling a woman he’s not dating that he’s going to put a baby in her is so skin crawlingly creepy I don’t know where to start
