Though his lifelong identity was as a Southern Baptist, Jimmy Carter left the Southern Baptist Convention because of its misogyny. I wish more would follow his principled example, refusing to allow their presence to signal that such an oppressive institution is OK. #ThisistheSBC

So... no provisions in men's prisons for a sub-category of MEN, therefore put those MEN in WOMEN'S prisons. Very logical and not at all contemptuous towards women's safety or the very idea of woman. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Domestic abuse survivors warn their careers remain shattered long after escaping abuse. One survivor, fired days after a brutal attack, calls for workplace reforms. ‘My face was still bruised when I was laid off.’ There is no excuse as an employer to not have a domestic abuse policy.

As some pontificate about the WASPI women & the loss of the WFP as being fair, equating being older with "boomers" who have had the best of everything, the reality for too many older people is very different. We need better conversations on inequalities at all ages & how we better address these.

The PM’s omission of his pledge to halve violence against women and girls in his landmark speech rightly sparked outrage. Advocacy groups demand action, warning ignoring this epidemic undermines trust. Services are being decimated. Where is the investment? Women’s safety must be a priority.
