Many men treat the women and girls in our lives with respect and care. Yet few of us speak up when other men behave in sexist and disrespectful ways, and even fewer challenge the wider inequalities that harm women and girls. It’s time for men to step up. xyonline.net/content/men-bui…

Dear schools, please feel comfortable to teach a whole range of sex ed topics. Australian parents have your back and they want you to teach more than consent. Check out my recent article: theconversation.com/australi… via @ConversationEDU @Bloom_edAU

🌈Trans and gender diverse kids are some of the most vulnerable in our society - because of disgraceful adults who harm children and others under the guise of freedom of speech and that their rights are more important than other's.

Sex: Women are still expected to prioritise their male partners’ sexual desires over their own. Women now have the “sexual freedom” to go along with porn-inspired acts – strangulation, slapping, aggression – that are unwanted if not harmful and dangerous. unherd.com/2020/04/what-sort…

Let's be CRYSTAL CLEAR @7NewsAustralia Australia Teacher's do not have sex with underage children. This is child sexual abuse.
You must do better than this.

I want to celebrate our country, however I want to celebrate all 60,000+ years of it.
