infuriating but all undeniably true

it is important to be able to differentiate between males and females because females suffer from forms of discrimination and risks that males do not

feeling compelled to comply with sexist stereotypes of femininity does not put a man at risk of dying in childbirth

Thanks BadPenny. Really must get into the habit of doing that

Why are these facts being disregarded?

I’ve signed the declaration. Passed on the details to friends. Shocking how harsh the world is for women and girls and yet some people are trying to make us disappear even more, which will increase our vulnerability.

I signed and shared the declaration with all FB friends. I must admit some FB friends might not like it, but this is important and as I am willing to tell every single one of them to their faces that I have this opinion, there should be no reason not to share the opinion on FB.
