In order to do this we must have clearly defined language. If "woman" is something that includes males, we have no ability to create meaningful laws and policies to address the sex-based power imbalance. Feminism and women's rights collapse when you deny that women are a group distinct from men.

The deed is done... I bought the bookcase pattern... I thought £9 was a lot to pay for a pattern... but it's 65(!) pages long... and most of this is charts... and the files are available for US, UK, Dutch, German or Spanish... I'm going to have great fun... customising the pattern for myself... 🧢

Alt-Txt: Two people stand before multi-color strips of paper with text on them that stretch down an entire wall and onto the floor. The title of the installation "I Agree" appear in all caps on the wall, too.

Love this. In his β€œI Agree” installation Dima Yarovinsky-Yahel took the content from terms of service statements for companies like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Tinder and printed them out on A4 paper with a standard font size for legal contracts to demonstrate the length of these agreements.

A Gallup popularity chart showing the Pope at +46, Bernie at +11, AOC at -4, Trump at -16, Musk at -28.

Two most popular politicians on this list are Bernie (the rare double-digit positive opinion) and AOC. Elon Musk is one of the most unpopular people in the world.

No one gave a shit if a gay man was lonely navigating a homophobic society. No one gave a shit if a woman was lonely in an abusive marriage. No one ever gave a shit if the Black kid in a white school was lonely.

But we all need to care about straight white men being lonely.

Miss me with this bs.

Reducing car trips is essential for meeting our climate goals. Cars give us pollution, terrible land use policies, and high healthcare costs due to sedentary lifestyle and traffic crashes. More people on bikes and using public transit benefits everyone.

A marsh wren stands on long blades of vegetation.  It is photographed with blurred blades of the same type of grass in front.  There is a break between blades that allows for a photo of the wren

WOMAN: It's raining men.
MAN: Not all men

If we didn’t know men who ID as women were men from their masculine gait, muscle mass, skeletal structure, biochemistry, socialised entitlement, dominant behaviour, male pattern offending and blind assumption women should comply with their demands, we’d know because they’re supported by other men.
