I’ve discovered that not many people know the difference between equality and equity so let’s go over the two so you can understand them and their differences and be able to explain them yourself!

#EmbraceEquity #InternationalWomansDay
Equality means each individual or group of people is given the same resources or opportunities.

Equity recognizes that each person has different circumstances and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome.
Equality and equity are not the same and it’s really important we understand the difference and why we need both, not just one or the other.

Today the theme for International Women’s Day is Embrace Equity and so I really encourage you to think about what that means to you and

Good friend is late 30's. In shape, makes over $300k/year, has a condo overlooking a great downtown.

He gets consistently ghosted, ignored for days, or is told after a date or two that "this isn't working."

Modern women are broken.
Since this is going to the 🌝, time to shamelessly plug my Substack: bowtiedkong.substack.com
Maybe he’s a public masturbator and that’s his issue? open.substack.com/pub/bowtiedkon…

On #InternationalWomansDay I would like to expose the misogyny of far right extremists in America - like the brother of General Flynn - who called for arrest of a woman reporter - me - and then sent death threats, including one with an address. They must really hate themselves.
The email addresses are fake fyi - the trauma is real.
Thank you to all who support independent women journalists in the fight against fascism.

Thread on today’s events. #fbpe
Despite a cold day. We had a strong turnout for a big campaigning day in locations around Chester. It took a while to get things warmed up as people were reluctant to stop. But soon it got busier and we had a steady stream of people to the stall.
We had some musical and historical accompaniment whilst we chatted to people around the town. There is often a Roman or two around the place giving historical context to the city of Chester. Help us be able to instruct the town crier that brexit is dead soon. #StopBrexit
The streets got busy as there were stalls celebrating #InternationalWomansDay and here are just 3 of our lovely key members of Chester for Europe enjoying the atmosphere.

On #InternationalWomensDay let's talk about Williamina Fleming (1857-1911).

#IWD2019 Williamina Fleming (1857-1911)
Williamina was born in Dundee, the daughter of a carver and gilder with premises in the Nethergate. She left school when she was 14 and became a pupil-teacher.

#IWD2019
In 1877, Williamina married James Orr Fleming, an accountant and fellow Dundonian. She worked as a teacher for a short while, before the couple emigrated to America (specifically Boston, Massachusetts) when Williamina was 21.

It's a conscious choice "we're" making as parents, when "we" encourage our little boys to grow up strong💪, but not our little girls.
A choice that can only be interpreted as "I'm OK leaving *one* of you relatively unable to defend themselves in future."
#InternationalWomensDay
If little boys and little girls were taught to pursue physical strength to the same extent, it wouldn't solve anything, but it would certainly make things a damn sight better.
For me, choosing to discriminate in that way, borders on parental neglect.
#InternationalWomensDay
While we must fight evil with all we have, it isn't going anywhere. It hasn't in 5000s years. So wherever there's a power imbalance, there will be those who exploit it.
So I want the mind of every creep to contain the thought "That girl might kick my ass."
