- Every time Laurence Fox says something reprehensible, it is Billie Piper's name, not his, that trends on Twitter. Now Prue Leith is trending instead of her anti-abortion MP son Danny Kruger. Stop blaming women for what the men in their lives do #EverydaySexism
- "After Everard’s disappearance, police told women in Clapham not to go out alone. After Nessa’s murder, Greenwich Council handed out attack alarms to women. 78 more women dead and we haven’t learned that policing women’s behaviour isn’t the solution"
- They're not "sex pests", they're criminals. Its not "banter" it's harassment. It's not a "sex scandal", it's a culture of systemic abuse.
- This is terrorism. If news reports about the shooter are accurate we are talking about an individual radicalised online into an extremist belief system who then acted on those beliefs to massacre people. This is terrorism. It is extremism. It is radicalisation.
- Clinton is officially running for President - have your #EverydaySexism bingo card to hand #HillaryForAmerica
- So few people have acknowledged that the #HandforthParishCouncil viral video actually reveals the shocking misogyny faced by women like #JACKIEWEAVER in local government - little wonder there are so few of them (96% councils male dominated & women just 35% of councillors)
- Remember the British women's Bobsleigh pair who had to crowdfund to get to the World Cup when the governing body decided it would only fund the men? They just pulled off the best result for British women in over 8 years. Oh, and the men's team crashed out
- These two stories happened within a day of each other. “Too revealing!” “Not revealing enough!” Apparently the only thing that’s always unacceptable is women making decisions about their own bodies #everydaysexism
- It's not a "sex scandal", it's a sexual violence crisis. It's not shocking news to the government, women's orgs have been shouting about this for years
- Domestic violence is spiking and abortion access is under threat so thank goodness the media is here to tell women what we should really be worrying about #coronavirus #everydaysexism
- This man murdered his ex-partner in a brutal pre-meditated attack then went to the pub & left her bleeding to death. Here’s the media reporting on his sporting prowess (&warning silly women to protect themselves better). In 2023. #everydaysexism
- There are long articles in the national press today describing Wayne Couzens as a "wonderful", "warm", "kind", "thoughtful", "charming", "lovely" man. Utterly beyond belief.
- Absolutely exhausting after all that's been said over the past 6 months that the Home Secretary & others still think imposing more restrictions & responsibilities on women to 'keep themselves safe' is the solution here
