Porn is about male dominance, porn is about telling all women 'know your place'. It is therefore no surprise that porn is being used to bully and sexually harass women in the work place. Thread.
The use of porn to bully and victimise female paramedics is across the U.K. From Bristol 'Female paramedics have been 'forced to watch pornography, give sexual favours and have been physically propositioned' while working at the ambulance service which serves Bristol'.

The same investigation found that in Gloucestershire 'sexual banter' created an intoxicating atmosphere for staff and says new female employees were referred to as “fresh meat” gloucestershirelive.co.uk/news/women-wor…
It is not just the ambulance service. Porn is part of a misogynistic culture. A case from L'Oreal dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6…

Alongside workplaces, some men feel the need to tell women that public space is theirs and theirs alone. Porn on planes: metro.co.uk/2019/01/03/fli…

Porn in public, porn in the workplace, the removal of single-sex facilities... it is all about trying to force women out of the public sphere. Making women know we are not welcome. We Object! #radfem #waronwomen

We were shocked, and it often shocks others, that Amnesty International is in favour of female sexual slavery and sexual exploitation - here is their prostitution policy: scribd.com/doc/202126121/…
'Amnesty International believes that seeking, buying, selling and soliciting paid sex are acts protected from state interference as long as there is no coercion, threats or violence associated with those acts'.
What about financial coercion?
Do Amnesty think the power balance is one of equality? From Dt. Superintendent Sporer 'Several women finally stated that these men had exploited them and had put pressure on them. ..

@Docstockk is a brilliant scholar and a champion of the rights of women. Solidarity with her against the abuse and defamation of @WelfareUSSU @USSU. What is happening at the @SussexUni ,it is not a safe environment to be a female academic or student?
The @SussexUni does have a history of failing females, here from 2017 after an inquiry it was found to have failed in its duty of care to a female assualt victim. From the @USSU letter it looks like it may be a breeding ground for misogynistic attitudes. independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…
The investigation into @SussexUni unearthed many reports of alleged sexual abuse and harassment. Is it incubating a culture where women are seen as existing to please men as suggested by the @USSU letter? What about women's human rights and humanity? telegraph.co.uk/education/2017…

How does Penny Mordaunt's position that ‘Trans women are women, that is the starting point’ fit with the Nolan Principles? This Equalities minister appears to be breaking the 7 Principles of Public life....
pinknews.co.uk/2018/07/03/pen…
The 'Nolan principles', which Penny Mordaunt appears to have abandoned, are the basis of the ethical standards expected of public office holders. Here is the govt. link: gov.uk/government/pub…
In our view Mordaunt's declaration that ‘Trans women are women, that is the starting point’ doesn't seem to fit with
'3. Objectivity
Holders of public office must act and take decisions impartially, fairly and on merit, using the best evidence and without discrimination or bias'.

#Thread I was triggered to write this by a status I saw over the weekend which was figuratively calling people who aren't entrepreneurs fools.
You must have seen similar ones like it. The one where they will claim you're building somebody else's dreams if you work 8-4 or 9-5.
The earlier you people who peddle entrepreneurship realised that not everyone is cut out for the business world, the better it would be for everybody.
You think I'm not living the life I dreamt of just because I answer to a boss? *Just let people do what they love, man.*
How difficult is that for you to understand?

If you're truly an entrepreneur in Nigeria and you sell real goods and services, you can't paint entrepreneurship ( in Nigeria) as exciting, attractive and something only foolish people will not venture into.

#Thread of responses from women in aerodynamics to the question, 'what would you like to see in order for women's career progression in your field to be sustained and better supported?'

Responses incl. career flexibility, mentoring and more women in leadership roles #WomeninSTEM
1. "I think young female engineers need to see more female role models and mentors in my field. Having a visible example of someone that looks like you and is succeeding in their field is important. Having an opportunity to meet with a mentor like that can be very powerful."
2. "I would like to see that any career promotion is based on own merits and value added to the company or the society independently of the gender. I want that women are measured with the same rules as men and are given equal opportunities."

Thread: Here’s how the U.S led strikes on #Syria developed from here in the Capital #Damascus in the early hours of this morning
1. At around 4.30 Damascus time I awoke to initial large sounds of over 10 rocket attacks, it immediately was clear from the types of missile being heard that it was a Western Attack conducted by the #U.S #France & #U.K
2. The strikes were heard clearly in all parts of the Capital and continued on and off for a duration of 50 minutes, Syrian state media reported the strikes but didn’t provide information as to the locations
