It's #InternationalWomensDay (#IWD2022 ) & @cgl_119 & I have one thing to say:

#SmashThePatriarchy

There are a whole lot of other things I *won't* be doing today. šŸ‘‡
I *won't* be making lists of inspirational women.

It's not a lack of inspirational women that's the problem. It's patriarachal systems of oppression which prevent those inspirational women being heard, or (worse) prevent women reaching their potential to be inspirational.
I *won't* be organising events to get women together to support one another.

It's not lack of sisterhood that's the problem. It's patriarchal systems of oppression which put huge pressure on women's enormous ability to lift one another up.

Some #FathersDay science!

We tend to think of mothers as the more biologically connected parent, and the assumption is that moms are more of a ā€œnaturalā€ at parenting whereas dads are not. This is not true. Dads have some VERY interesting biological responses to their kids!

@LeeGettler & colleagues found that dads who spend lots time with their kids-caring for them, cosleeping, hanging out, just everyday things-experience a rise in prolactin.

If you know what prolactin is, you might be going, "...Wait, what?!" That's because is the milk-making hormone--for breastfeeding! But lesser-known is that it also happens to be associated with caregiving behavior in vertebrates, male AND female.

TW: Many times as women who stand on the belief of ending an unjust system, like police or prisons, thereā€˜s always a man who askes ā€œWhat about rapists?!ā€ Hereā€™s my story, because most women know what time it is. (A thread) #DefundThePolice #smashthepatriarchy āœŠšŸ½
As a rape survivor I never felt safe reporting it to the police. I couldnā€™t even say the word ā€œrapeā€ until days after my assault & I sure as hell didnā€™t feel safe walking into a police station full of men & telling them what had happened to me.
And as a WOC I was petrified of the ā€œjusticeā€ system & what it would do to me, how it would try and drag me to protect this man. My rapist was a well known personality in Philly and at the time, definitely held more power than me.
