On the anniversary where one woman took her own life after being hounded by the media, this is the headline a paper ran about a woman chased out of the country by the media who announced her pregnancy yesterday, after suffering a miscarriage last year. Let that sink in.
My friend went out for a run alone at 5pm so it was pretty dark. On her run a man came up to her, said he was losing motivation on his run & joined her. He followed her down lanes and around dark routes. Do men just have no social awareness whatsoever or is this on purpose? 🙃
The fact that we as the public are more angry at elderly environmentalists protesting over protecting OUR future and money than at a Government who refuses to act on climate change is reflective of the country we’ve become. This is awful.
The fact so many young boys and men idolise a man who’s whole business model is love bombing a woman for the sole purpose of making her into a porn star when she had no intention to getting naked online, all so he can make money off of her body is frankly sick.
I will never understand how the British public are more angry at peaceful protestors trying to save our planet than the Government that is actively contributing to the decline of it.
Women in public don’t owe you anything. We don’t owe you a conversation. We don’t owe you a smile. We don’t owe you a polite rejection. But we do it time and time again out of fear of male rejection and their reaction.
Not this woman, she’s a badass 👏
Stephen Bear being found guilty is a small win for women and a clear sign to perpetrators that image based sexual abuse IS a crime.
Consent is key. Learn it.
Another woman killed at the hands of male violence and another attempt by the media to paint the perpetrator as a ‘good guy’. Highlighting his cancer charity work certainly seems to help minimise the shame and horrific crime. These are not isolated incidents of good guys.
There’s really nothing not to like with Harry and Meghan in their Netflix series. A cute love story. They call out the toxic press. They call out racism. What are you really so angry about? 🤨…
These ‘dead tings’ don’t know what they’ve done leaving Amber and Ovie single and available to couple up. YOU’VE JUST WAVED GOODBYE TO THE 50K THERE’S NO GOING BACK. It’s done. Our King and Queen win.

This man was a STRANGER. She joked to him not to kill her and he laughed and continued to run alongside her without any awareness of how scary that situation is for a woman out alone at night. Seriously 🫠
It seems you all agree this is not normal. Have passed on the concerns to my friend who said she will be avoiding this route and changing the time of her run from now on. Which obviously she shouldn’t have to do but ya know 🫠
Women’s bodies are not yours to do with what you please.
Happy to see Stephen Bear be sentenced for filming, sharing and selling intimate content of Georgia without her consent. A small step in showing that this behaviour towards women is not acceptable.
I’m so disturbed by the horrific images and voice recordings online of the abuse by Mason Greenwood. Solidarity with Harriet Robson, to speak up about abuse is hard, to do so of men in power is almost impossible. I hope she gets the support she needs and knows how brave she is 🤍
Young girls are literally raised as toddlers to learn how to look after a family. It’s why when 18 year old women go to Uni’ we have basic cooking and cleaning skills whilst the men live off pot noodles, leave dirty pots and don’t know how to use a launderette. Lol.
@AvaSantina
Barging in on her class to ask what to make for his daughters lunch 🙃 when are some men going to realise that becoming a dad actually means becoming a parent and not just a babysitter lol
The Tim Westwood story should be the leading headline on all news outlets but it’s already buried after just 48 hours. Multiple victims, mostly black women, have shared how he abused his power and sexually abused them, how he would seek out underage girls and yet….
Nothing?
Waking up to mens genitals in my DM’s today. I wonder why they are doing it? Is it because I am a woman with images of me modelling lingerie online or is it because people like you work so hard to uphold rape culture? 🤔🤔🤔 Thanks so much!
The BBC is running this story on the front page of their website ⬇️. It is absolutely disgusting that men are sending obscene photos to this young woman. I wonder why they are doing it... 🤔🤔🤔 1/
Not wanting your privacy invaded and being hounded 24/7 does not mean publicity shy. Meghan was an actor. She knows this industry. She is allowed boundaries around her personal life for her own mental health. What do you want her to do, hide in a dark corner forever?
What happens when their isn’t photo evidence? What happens when their isn’t voice recordings? Women shouldn’t have to record and share their trauma so publicly to be believed.
Only 1-2% of rape cases ever see a prosecution.
1 in 4 women will be raped or sexually assaulted.
2022 saw the highest number of rapes reported on record in the U.K- 70,330.
The system does not work for victims. It does not mean that they are all lying.
Read that again.
Billie Piper choosing to feature in a scene of an at home abortion in her award-winning series whilst her ex-husband embarrasses himself comparing women having abortions to rapists to stay relevant is *chefs kiss* 🤌
Prince Harry is a royal. He has been a prominent figure in British royalty. OF COURSE they’re going to announce the pregnancy. They. Both of them. There is two people in that photo. Not just a woman. I’m so glad they seem happy and escaped this dumpster fire of press.

is just gorgeous. Sometimes just the thought that some of the best days of my life are yet to happen is enough to get me through the tough ones. Whilst being kind to eachother, remember to be kind to yourself.
I respect Molly Mae for making the most of her opportunity & grabbing it with both hands, but I DESPAIR at the quote about everyone having the same time in a day as Beyoncé.The reality is that social inequality means there’ll never be an even playing field
There has been endless examples of women being harassed and gaslit by the media. Diana. Jade Goody. Caroline. Hell, this week even Britney and Lindsay Lohan are hot topics and then today - this. They won’t change. Almost like they hate successful and strong women with a voice.
You hate women but they made you rich. All whilst allegedly trafficking and raping your ‘staff’ who were your girlfriends.
Yet this is the dude who so many say ‘isn’t that bad’ or should be allowed to ‘be an alpha male’. Terrifying.
Imagine going this hard to back a severe misogynist that you out yourself as ableist only for them to be arrested on human trafficking charges 24 hours later 😭
Julia Hartley-Brewer had to effictivley type "At least I'm not autistic", think that was OK to say to an autistic teenager, and press TWEET.
Human f****** garbage.
#GretaThunberg
Let’s make this very clear. It is legal for a woman to share a photo of her in underwear or swimwear. It’s acceptable on Instagram’s T&C’s. Cyberflashing is illegal in many countries. Exposed genitals and videos of sex acts are not comparable to a lingerie modelling photo.
And here are some more... Are we really supposed to be shocked and horrified that men are sending obscene photos to a woman who posts these images of herself? She's perfectly entitled to do so, of course, but are dick pix really a surprise result? 🙄🙄🙄🙄 3/3
The stigma around the Welsh language is so ignorant. When I told a man I spoke fluent Welsh the other day he asked me why and went on to tell me it was a waste of money on a dying language. What other country would you say that to?
Obsessed with how Meghan and Harry just to continue to thrive whilst the same old people froth at mouth at their existence. Meghan refuses to ‘stay in her lane’ and I fucking love her for that.

One of my pet hates is when Welsh people on tv shows are simply ‘From Wales’ but other contestants are from their cities/towns. Such a simple thing but so frustrating. Wales is a whole damn country I need the specifics lol

Very happy to see this come into law 👏 It is now illegal to create and distribute deepfake porn in England and Wales, without the need to prove the intent was to cause distress or harm.
Deepfake porn is a form of image based sexual abuse that lacks any consent and has long lasting affects on the victims who never consented to being in a hardcore porn video that exists online forever. Women have every right to be angry and upset about this targeted attack.

not sure you’d be too happy with one of your players sending women messages about being raped on a profile including images of them playing for a team in the league. These type of men need calling out. It is unacceptable.

I’ve had his followers tweet that they were going to rape me and wished I was dead after he quote tweeted me once. His pores spew hatred and it’s all a joke to him. Please don’t let him & his minions quieten you, you’re worth a thousand of his attention-grabbing tweets.
Please don’t be the guy who argues about male violence towards women by pointing out male violence towards men like some kind of ‘All Lives Matter’ movement.
There is one common factor here. Male violence.
You know what really smacks you in the face is just how many women online are angry, upset and hurt for the female victims.
While so many men are on here are angry, upset and hurt for an alleged sexual predator.
The contrast in empathy is astounding.
I’ve had four comments from troll/incel accounts today all fixating on my weight. It’s so funny to me that these men think the worst thing they can say to a woman is that we’re fat like we haven’t been saying it to ourselves our whole life lol
It’s not ‘too woke’ to state that women should not be touched when unconscious without consent, even by their husbands. It’s illegal, simple as that. Absolute madness to suggest it’s okay if it’s your husband? The home is the most dangerous place for a woman.
@BBCWomansHour
The amount of people, some high profile, who are already defending him before the documentary has even come out is the perfect example of how rape culture is upheld in our society. People will bend over backwards to discredit and disbelieve women instead of admit male violence.

This article is also littered with bikini pictures of Maddie. There will hundreds on her Instagram that they could’ve used and they choose them. I am so so sad for Maddie and her loved ones. ❤️
Great news that Stephen Bear has been charged with revenge porn and the leaking of sexual images without consent. Women’s bodies are not yours to do whatever you want with them. There will be consequences.
Yes, it’s irritating that you’re late. But protests have been happening for years and are a significant way of inciting change. How the press have managed to paint environmentalists as the bad guys whilst our planet is burning is madness.
It’s also THEIR story to tell. It’s literally their experiences . The royal family are Harry’s family, not ours. They can talk about them all they want it’s really not that deep lol
@Charl0tteEmma
Ugh I’m so sorry, we shouldn’t have to change our everyday lives for them. A couple men before have DM’d me that they recognise the apartment block I lived at at the time stating ‘I know where you live’. Do they not know how terrifying that is 🙃
Andrew Tate. Dan Bilzerian. The Candy Man etc etc. All claim to be the epitome of ‘masculine’ but pay to surround themselves with women to fulfil their inept desire for validation from the other sex and their own peers due to their insecurity within themselves. Sad.
I am not surprised people will victim blame me for having a naked photo taken of me whilst sleeping.
A study of 22,000 women showed 1 in 2 had woken up to their male partner having sex with them or performing sex acts on them whilst they are asleep.
That is rape, btw.

I don’t think supplying weapons responsible for thousands of deaths and being linked to a paedophille ring is the equivalent to wearing earrings gifted to you.
Totally normal behaviour right? I know people say to ignore these troll accounts, but someone is behind these comments. Someone who chooses to target, harass and abuse women for their own entertainment. Ignoring them does not make them go away, it helps them.
The way literally thousands of men will turn a blind eye to the abuse of women because they enjoy watching a ball of air be kicked around for fun is a real reflection of how little men actually like women when it comes to them having to sacrifice something to support them.

. Consent can not be given when you are sleeping, it has been normalised for men to have sex or touch us when we are sleeping, especially in relationships. That is not normal. It is sexual assault.
What I don’t understand about the OnlyFans situation is that a huge chunk of the company was bought in 2018 by Leonid Radvinsky, a Ukrainian with over 20 years history in owning and running porn sites. Making money from sex workers is literally his thing.
@BBCWomansHour
A lot of adopted children suffer from attachment disorder and handing them back into the care system because they’re difficult does nothing but cement that even deeper. It’s true, there is not enough support for adopted families but you work through it somehow, like all children.
The largest and most popular deepfake porn site, which gets millions of hits each month, is now inaccessible in the UK after the Government’s announcement this week that it will criminalise the creation of deepfake porn. What a win! 💪
As one of the richest countries in the World we shouldn’t have key workers striking because they can’t afford to put food on the table. We shouldn’t have people phoning up a radio station crying that they can’t heat their homes.
We shouldn’t have a press that somehow blames us?
Maybe she isn’t trying to be attractive, maybe she’s just embracing a natural bodily function.
I’ve never really thought mens hairy armpits are attractive, I just accept them as is. Why should women have different standards?
Does anyone else find it bizarre that the U.K is governed by rich men who went to Eton and have never had to struggle in their life, and yet the avg. person in the U.K. takes home £1,920 a month before tax. Like, HOW have we kid ourselves that these people represent the people!?
As someone born in England who’s lived in Wales 21 years, I have a really weird identity problem whereas I say I’m Welsh. Feel Welsh. But people love to remind me I’m English. Or act shocked when they hear I wasn’t born here. Like, if it’s good enough for Ashley Williams???
Criticising women in high places because of what they’re wearing. That is a smart, work dress. She isn’t ‘showcasing’ anything. She’s existing in her body, her outfit is the least interesting part of this case. If you want to sexualise her during a missing person conference...
Detective Superintendent Rebecca Smith seems to be using Nicola Bulley’s disappearance as a excuse to showcase her toned physique. Who wears a sleeveless dress in February? To those who say, does it matter what people wear to work? Yes, it does, when they are police officers.
Anna spouting FACTS on the
#LoveIsland
First Look. “Say it with your chest, you found a girl you liked. If the reason you left Amber was for all these things then you should’ve left her before the new girl came in” 👏👏👏👏 THIS is why the Jordan/Anna situation is different.
For someone who has been linked to the adult industry for 20+ years & who bought a 75% cut of OnlyFans, presumably because of its potential in the adult world, it seems extremely odd that they would turn their backs on sex workers- a group of people Radvinsky knows is profitable
People are switching their fridges off because they can’t afford to keep them running.
Mums are living on one meal a day to feed their children.
It’s naive to believe sanitary products aren’t one of the first products to be taken off a shopping list if you’re trying to save.
"Period poverty" is not a thing in the UK (as I have said before, poverty is a thing)
- sanitary products are relatively cheap, and widely accessible.
- employing government /voluntary sector functionaries to distribute such products is wasteful make-work/distraction
When I was researching deepfake porn, in forums and chat rooms men were counting down the days for Charlie D’Amelio and Millie Bobby Brown to turn 18 so they could ‘legally’ deepfake them into porn.
These men are sick.
Let me tell you as someone who used to model, men love the idea of dating the ‘hot girl’ until they’re actually dating the hot girl. Then you’re a slut and they start questioning who you’re wearing fake tan for and why guys are leaving comments on your instagram posts.
Brits who migrate to a different country such as Dubai and Oz for career and improved quality of life = expats with ambition.
People coming to the UK to improve their life (often from 3rd world countries) = economic migrants and should stay in their own country 🙃
You won’t find a glass of wine cheaper than £3 in the back end of Wales, but the Houses Of Parliament serve a 2010 French Red for £2.75. THIS HOW THE RICH STAY RICH LOL.
Saying that it’s not surprising that men can’t resist sharing unsolicited penis pictures and videos of sexual acts when they see a photo of a woman in underwear is deeply offensive to the 90% of men who don’t act like sexual predators at the sight of a bare leg on Instagram.
@ThisisDavina
If every women has a story of sexual assault, harassment or abuse it doesn’t seem like fear-mongering to me. This tweet dismisses the thousands of women’s very real experiences that they have been subjected to at the hands of men; and yes some committed by sons, brothers...
