Are attitudes finally shifting in discussions about women, sex and gender?

[porridgecake]

Over the last couple of days many, many people (men) in positions of authority seem to have had a lightbulb moment around the systemic and organised abuse of women and girls. They are suddenly talking about women and girls being the targets and victims and the perpetrators being men. Using the words correctly.
Andrew Marr has had a couple of excellent guests on his LBC show this evening.
Is anyone else listening to it all and thinking "what took you so long?" Followed almost immediately by "why do men who pretend to be women get a free pass?"
The parallels between tiptoeing round the Pakistani rape gangs and other "groups " of men are very obvious.
Then we have the scandal of the appalling treatment of pregnant women in the NHS. Now suddenly referred to as "women", not "pregnant people".
Violence against women and girls. Actually saying the words.
Does anyone think the penny might continue to drop?

Of course it feels like a slow process but its not really the SC FWS ruling and a few more besides are pushing the iceberg ever faster.

There are definite signs the tide has turned.

The Supreme Court ruling was a pivotal moment and I thank the people who put up the money and the ones that put their heart and soul into fighting that case in court from the bottom of my heart.

The other really influential thing was the horrific death of Sarah Everard, closely followed by the conviction of another police serial sex offender David Carrick. Showing that women weren't even safe against the men who were being paid to protect them.

It's about time.
