HISTORIANS! do you manage to do your footnotes as you go? if so, what's the secret? I find it interrupts my flow so much...

I've been writing about Phyllis Schlafly and right-wing women vs Shere Hite and found this superb!

I'm hoping for some discussion of Schlafly's self-help book, 'the power of the positive woman' in part 2.

So good!

congrats! and lovely to see you on here. It's been an age! xx

Out now!
In this book I explore struggles for reproductive rights & liberty in postwar France - telling a different story about the era of sexual liberalisation & legal reform, avoiding a celebratory narrative but looking at persisting injustices and inequalities.

thank you!

I have an amazing osteo if you were looking for a recommendation! She is v knowledgeable about anatomy and trustworthy! She also studies the bible from a Christian, feminist perspective. So you can learn about maligned female saints while your back gets fixed 👌

thank you Erin! me too, and a little tired. Did The Hite Report mean a lot to you?

Thank you so much Rachel. I really hope so!

It was so big in Melbourne that you could not physically exit the Melbourne central mall onto the street

2/2 Then, feminists focus on women's powerlessness has resulted in men now being more oppressed than women. imo he is key to manosphere idea that the world is now stacked in feminist and women's favour.

1/2 the trajectory was focus on 'sex roles.' In his first work Farrell discusses how male sex role oppresses women but men too pay a high price (true!) but later it becomes just 'sex role' focussed, men are as oppressed as women. memorably: 'women are sex objects, men success objects.' (!?)

from Warren Farrell's The Liberated Man (1974!!) Makes it even sadder and more disappointing that Farrell descends into men's rights activism...

amazing that the anti-sexist men's movement propose gender-neutral pronouns (te/tir) & attaché as alternative to husband/wife.

As someone who likes a smart briefcase I could get on board!

Thanks Ruth!

Thank you so much Anna! Let’s be in touch soon. Hopefully my book will be out here too. Xx

Very exciting book news from Rosa Campbell, one-time editorial fellow at History Workshop 📖 👀

Thanks Amy. It will be available in Aus/UK soon too 🤞🏻! What did the book mean to you?

Yes! I really like what Sophie Smith says about forgotten women, that it’s not just a process of natural memory loss but always political.

My book is available for preorder @melvillehouse.bsky.social!

It’s about The Hite Report—the 50M-copy feminist sexology bestseller—its wild, visionary author Shere Hite and culture wars then and now. Out April '26!

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

Sexual violence has been both endemic and normalised within many British police forces — and sexual violence against girls from working class backgrounds has long been ignored by the wider British state. Sometimes the obvious answer is, in fact, the correct answer. Nobody cared about these girls.

Five survivors of Rotherham grooming gangs say they were also raped by police officers Three former South Yorkshire police officers arrested in investigation into claims by the women, as young as 12 at the time

God, the number of people who were willing to believe that the South Yorkshire police were too woke to prosecute sexual abuse cases, when in fact the police force was itself an instrument of patriarchal sexual violence. It’s like a case study in the worst excesses of the British press.

BIG NEWS: For the first time in six years, Britain's rarest breeding bird has successfully nested in the UK!

A pair of Montagu's Harriers have raised four healthy chicks, all of which have taken their first flights.

But ‘all the feminist strength in American cannot compare with the powerful tool of thousands of Chrisitian women praying and fasting, calling on God to heal our land (II Chronicles 7:14) and to defeat the ERA.'

Thanks for your work!

also reminded of how much women of the New Right helped to build this myth from late 1970s on. Beverley LaHaye wrote to her 100s of 1000s of "concerned" women to pray against the ERA & elite 'feminists with their high-powered media support, millions of dollars, and backing by ex-Presidents.’
