Something positive- Sunday Times cartoon

[PotholeHellhole]

This is going to be the cartoon today.

This is a mainstream newspaper, printing a feminist cartoon! It's totally shocked me. In a good way.

IRS very powerful.

Sorry, that should say 'It's very powerful'.

👏

It's a good cartoon.

More substantially, they've got a good piece on designing streets for safety - link and some discussion here

India Knight?

was it her husband?

No... yeah, she's still ignoring that elephant in her living room. But the column is at least part of MSM responding to the issue of male violence.

I have a subscription. There's a wonderful collection of NAMALT comments under the online version.

Dear lord, they really don't get it, do they?

Had this argument with my husband again this morning. He sees himself as one of 'the good guys' and he asked me what I was doing to end male violence!!! The question did not go down well and he learnt some home truths. Male violence is not women's problem to solve since we are not committing male violence.

I was worrying where the Inland Revenue came into it....

It's a brilliant cartoon. The man could be carrying a Stonewall placard, or an 'My penis and I demand entry to women's safe spaces' one
