A thread in response to Jordan Gray's piece in @Independent for #IWD2023. Let's just unpick some of Jordan's philosophical musings on what a woman is

'A woman doesn't define herself by what she is not.'
Hard agree. It's why many women left the Green party after being referred to as 'non-men.' 2/19

'A woman endures. A woman takes a licking & keeps on kicking.'
Violent imagery aside, this is just trite. Some women are broken by male violence & oppression, some don't survive at all. They're still women. 3/19

Today is #InternationalWomensDay, so we figure today is a good day to talk to you a bit about something that most non-female players don't even think about.

These things. Football socks.

Football socks are a certified enemy of women's football. Here's why. /1 #IWD23 #football anakin talking to padme meme. First panel is anakin saying &
Let's start with the basics:

Women's feet are different to mens'. Everything from the heel-to-ball length, ball circumference. Ratio of medial and lateral malleoli heights. Our calf height/shape differs, too.

Loads of science on this. Google "women's feet."

(Wait, no don't)
This isn't a shocking new discovery. You will find science papers going back decades on how women's feet and legs are different to mens'.

So OBVIOUSLY this means women's football socks are designed for our feet, right?

🚩NEW: In our report released today, @HRW finds that #SaudiArabia’s 1st codified personal status law formally enshrines male guardianship over women & contains discriminatory provisions against women on marriage, divorce & children⬇️ #IWD23

hrw.org/news/2023/03/0…
While #MBS and other #Saudi government officials have touted the law as “progressive" and “comprehensive,” the law instead codifies discriminatory practices & includes provisions that facilitate domestic violence & sexual abuse in marriage.
The law also uses vague language that gives judges wide discretion when adjudicating cases, increasing the likelihood of inconsistent interpretations.
