Greg, you should read Victoria Smith’s excellent book ‘Hags’ https://lnkd.in/g5cYxCsm. It’ll take your mind off… oh, actually, no it won’t. The microwave of accountability has been pinging on deaf ears in your regard for too long, sir. Your misogynistic, ageist bullshit with its buttery biscuit base is off the menu.

Last night, we attended Reclaim The Night Leeds in solidarity with women and girls, who are subjected to violence by men and boys every second of every day across the globe. As men, we need to speak about male violence against women and girls (#MVAWG). We are the ones perpetrating the violence, so we are ones who can stop it. Thanks to RTN Leeds for organising a brilliant event, the brilliant speakers and to Chris Steven Green OBE for sporting our banner on a very rainy evening! #ReclaimTheNight #Leeds #ReclaimTheNight2024 #16DaysOfActivism #16Days #MVAWG #RTNLeeds #MaleViolence #MaleViolenceAgainstWomenAndGirls #Misogyny #Sexism #RapeCulture #Public #PublicSafety #Safety #Nighttime #SafeStreets #SafeMen #Men #Boys #WomensSafety #March

Day #6 - 16 Days of Activism The Australian recently covered the findings of our Sexual Harassment of Teachers [SHoT] report, quoting Movement Director Melinda Tankard Reist: “Schools have become sites of abuse. The safety of teachers and female students is significantly compromised. The stories I’ve been told by female teachers and students this year are the worst I’ve heard in more than a decade of engagement with public and private schools.’’ We've rounded up the highlights of our SHoT report in the media here: https://lnkd.in/gtfXuTUj Get involved in this global campaign by sharing our posts with the hashtag #16daysofactivism ✊🏻 #collectiveshout #campaign #movement #endexploitation #16days #16daysofactivism #activism #genderequality #endviolenceagainstwomenandgirls #vawg #women #girls
