Reading Invisible Women by @CCriadoPerez ... such incredible facts prestened in a straight forward way with a clear voice. It's changing the way I see so many aspects of our built environments. It's f***ing AMAZING! Thank you for writing it!
Wonderful feedback at my last workshop: "I have a full understanding of what feminism is now and would not be threatened to have a conversation with someone about it." #EmpowerPeople #InspireChange #Solidarity #GenderEquality
Great @ThreadsEquality workshop at @hypmotive_hub last week. Huge thanks to everyone who came and shared your stories and experiences. #MaleAllies #HeForShe #Feminism #GenderEquality #Solidarity #History

If you have seen our list of 76 articles demonstrating gender and/or racial bias in student evaluations - you will love this! I've just posted summaries for 75% of the articles. Summaries cover main findings, and are generally more precise than abstracts. rebeccakreitzer.com/summarie…

What proportion of US men in college / university have used sexual violence against a woman? Recent studies find proportions anywhere from e.g. 1.6% in the last year to 25% by the end of 4th year in college. Some studies assess lifetime perpetration, finding rates of 10.8 to 51%.

If a woman did nothing else except save the average gap in weekly earnings between men and women, $241.50, in just 15 years she would easily have more cash than the average Australian woman retires with. My @smh column. smh.com.au/money/super-and-r…

When haters go after your looks and differences, it means they have nowhere left to go. And then you know you’re winning!
I have Aspergers and that means I’m sometimes a bit different from the norm. And - given the right circumstances- being different is a superpower.

Why, when and how men rape: A study in South Africa among men aged 18-49 finds 27.6% have raped a woman. Most were motivated by sexual entitlement, also boredom & ‘entertainment’, & as punishment against girlfriends and other women. Most had first raped girls/women as teenagers.

I hate that any pants I wear which are actually comfortable are traditionally given a ‘negative’ adjective before them: granny pants, period pants, comfy pants. Men just say pants. I think women should too. Also VPL. Men also don’t give a shit about that.

Gender inequality is as much a story of male privilege as it is a story of female disadvantage.
Let’s all say it together. Men have a gender too. Gender doesn’t hold women back. Discrimination against women does. bbc.co.uk/news/education-485…
Loved hosting this workshop last night, exploring the history of feminist movement in Australia, celebrating the achievements and pondering the remaining challenges. We had a lot of love for @clareawright @TheFemaleGreer @JuliaGillard #EqualPay #MyBodyMyChoice @TheMatildas & more
Second wave feminism gave women the right to #EqualPay #NoFaultDivorce #ThePill @TheFemaleGreer #childcare, child custody, single parent benefits, women's shelters and health centres, and limited access to abortion.What's not to like?
Also Gough Whitlam was pretty much the hero of second wave feminism in Australia. Thanks @AustralianLabor
The idea that women in power would make the world a better place is a fantasy. Women aren't intrinsically superior. Real wealth, health and peace comes from breaking down hierarchies and treating each other with kindness and fairness regardless of race, age, class or gender.

Real social benefit comes when we put social and community well-being above self-interest, when we come together to fight for a common cause. Decisions that help everyone, serving the common interest, produce more equal relationships. Whereas, self-interest produces inequality.
