Even friends who are doctors, and should understand dominant and recessive genes, have said this about their hair colour. I find it bemusing!

There's a desperation in the calls from Conservative/Reform MPs, it's a faux anger, because instead of calling to enact the 20 recommendations from the Alexis Jay's Inquiry, which took 7 years, they're focused on calling for another inquiry instead

We seem to vote for whoever the newspapers tell us to vote for, in my opinion.

I’m sure another pact will be made before then to give favourable articles to sway opinion.

Yes
I do agree.
It was the newspaper article that caught my eye.
Complicit media, again.

Sorry, I didn’t mean you personally. I was musing aloud after I had a Bluesky conversation with someone yesterday about identifying, and calling out, behaviours rather than sweeping statements about whole demographics of people.

This, this is the sort of bull we should be calling out. They will not have more confidence at school. They will be mimicking the words of an insecure person who has to put others down to feel better themselves. Call it out.

It’s the same now and it always will be. The left and everyone with less privilege in society better understands kindness and empathy, even towards people who may be hostile to them.
The idea that anyone else is being demonized for anything other than their beliefs/actions is nonsense.

Any violence against another person is a crime. Let us non violent people, whatever your gender, sexuality, colour, stand up to people committing violent crime.

In my opinion, you are alienating a group of allies. I do not think all German people are responsible for the holocaust, I do not think all white people are racist. You are giving them power by blanket targeting people based on one trait. Call out the behaviours.

I wholeheartedly agree, but I have no idea how we can even start to address this when they appear to be working together, against us, and they have money, the power and the influence.

Not all cisgender men. Some are trying really hard to change things - we need to stop blaming and start to change the culture and I think that starts in communities and school.

But you are correct - I used the wrong term in ‘driving’ and should have used ‘contributing’. My apologies.

I don’t think of myself as misogynistic. I just think we must consider all variables, or we will not be able to address all the issues. We cannot be blindsided by gender we have to examine all contributing factors.

I really want to support this, but I can’t because cisgender men are not the problem. The problem is the culture that has been allowed to develop around these issues and the lack of power the justice system has to deal with them. We need to work to change the culture, not marginalise.

‘Resilience training’ again. No, we won’t fix the system, we will just victim shame for not being strong enough.

Making themselves feel better by keeping other women in their place. I’m the prettiest, my husband is wealthier, of better ‘social standing’, my cakes are better etc etc. Insecure and trying to keep the odds stacked in their favour. Upsetting that they are able to do this.

I’m starting to wonder if a subset of women are the actual driving force behind misogyny. Enforcing the arbitrary ‘them and us’ divide.

There are a group of men and a group of women for whom the NHS does not meet their needs - men who can’t overcome the stigma of asking for help/ advice and women whose medical issues are minimised and not taken seriously. Usually, care is good when these barriers are overcome.
