This thread says everything for me. I’ve shared it across all my own social media this morning.

@Shizuku

Weaponising the horrendous murder of a young woman to attack trans rights is pretty despicable. Not surprising, but despicable all the same.
Speaking out about reality of our lives is not 'attacking trans rights'. However, declaring that women are 'weaponising' it when they are openly angry after a woman is murdered is pretty despicable in my book and downright misogynistic to boot. HTH.

Brilliant. Thanks for sharing. I needed that!

Weaponising the horrendous murder of a young woman to attack the need for women’s rights is pretty despicable. Not surprising, but despicable all the same.

I doubt it.

But it also shows her level of empathy towards other women. I wonder what her friends feel about it. .... scrub that. she may surround herself with mirror images so it may not have much impact. Or, all her friends are teetotal ...

I found the denial in Ash Sankar's tweet about her never asking a friend to text when they got home rather surprising.

I wonder if AS will pause and reflect that this reveals so much more about AS and her relationships with friends than it does about how friends look out for each other.

Jane Clare Jones is on fire. As always.

“Street Attention”.

Thank you for posting. So sad.

@WarOnWomen

I love JCJ.

That article by Paris Lees is something else. This is kind of my problem with the debate around street attention. It’s part of a culture that infantilises women and teaches them to be constantly afraid. I wasn’t brought up that way and I don’t feel frightened when some spunky dude comes and talks to me. There. That's the reason. Angry

yes. quite.

She is on fire as usual.

I found the denial in Ash Sankar's tweet about her never asking a friend to text when they got home rather surprising. Obviously, none of her friends have been drunkenly poured into a cab or have admitted to her that they ended up asleep on the train home and ended up in the middle of nowhere. Surely, it is human nature to want to make sure people get home if their defences (and sometimes sensible decision making) is lowered.

Or, she just didn't care.
