Siri, show me misplaced male confidence, ignorance of the topic they are lecturing women, blithe unconcern for women's health & safety. Oh, and misogyny. Definitely misogyny https://t.co/NXM5gO...

It would be nice if @andevers took a leaf out of WWWC's book and considered the situation in the round, with intelligence and generosity. Suspect all are blocked, however! https://t.co/tAQQc9...

RT @Turnlung: @GeorgeWOxford @slightlyatsea @ALLIANCELGB @stonewalluk I’m a 6ft beefy woman. In college played one rugby club mixed match. In scrum, snapped both clavicles. Carried off by the guys. Can’t imagine this will end well for women in the ...

This is pertinent point in light of definition of "woman" in GRPBA which includes those "using a female name". What counts as a female name? Who decides? Is there a list? Historically, many names were used by both sexes- the mistress of 1st Earl of ...

"Accidents happen". Women's valid concerns about safety are "irrational". This argument could also be used to justify the inclusion of adults in the children's game and the end of boxing weight categories. https://t.co/1qlpiv...

RT @Szy_Sefton: @HJoyceGender @stonewalluk It really would’ve been interesting had as many men supported and campaigned for equality of women’s sports - (not yet on the horizon) - as now campaign against women fighting for said equality in women’s ...

RT @campervanwoman: @ForwomenScot It is. I've added a wee bit to it too, about Engender's cancellation of a public meeting to discuss the GRA and the podcast, featuring Mridul Wadhwa, that they recorded instead. https://t.co/J8JLnR...

RT @sarahstuartxx: MW states that no one would abuse self-declaration, a line he wants us to think he has crossed himself, and likens the fear about this to ‘false allegations of rape’. Must be a laugh a minute to be around when your world has just ...
