In honor of #InternationalWomensDay (and inspired by @kathryncasteel), a short and woefully incomplete thread of women who’ve inspired me in journalism.
Starting with @ForsythJenn, the best editor I’ve ever had (and I’ve had some great ones!), who taught me more than she’ll ever know, and whose team @WSJ is generating huge story after huge story.
@andreaskaren & @HelenGiffordSN gave me my start in journalism (and forgave me when I made some big mistakes), and stood up for their reporters no matter what.

#InternationalWomensDay was celebrated across #Rojava today - and all week.

We wanted to share some of the best reporting we've seen - short and in-depth, recent and older - that highlights the voices of Rojava's women and their leadership role in the society here.

[1/9]
Kurdish academic @DilarDirik is an excellent source for getting a broader understanding of the realities and (geo)politics of Rojava.

As she points out here, a lot of reporting on Rojava's women gets it wrong, relying on tired stereotypes.

[2/9]

Sonja Ahmed's photo-essay for @CNN is one positive example.

The women of #YPJ have long made the headlines, but by travelling repeatedly to Rojava and foregrounding these women's stories, her piece adds something new to the conversation.

First wave feminists created proto-patriarchy theory, were white supremacists, terrorists, against black women's rights, against men's rights, tried to assassinate male politicians, jailed their own husbands, wanted female dictators, opposed female military service,…
shamed men and boys of age as low as 16 into joining WWI to be killed, destroyed children's relationship with fathers with the Tender Years Doctrine.
#InternationalWomensDay
Second wave feminists were always against the family unit, motherhood, and wanted to destroy it; created Gender Studies, No Fault Divorce, a corrupt Family Court System, Affirmative Action, Title IX, The Duluth Model, Predominant Aggressor Laws, Mandatory Arrest laws,…

I’ve lost track of the number of men who’ve stolen my ideas & passed them off as their own. Concepts, taglines, designs, etc. 1 male client who attributed work done with me to a man admitted he’d done it because I was female. We’re not 2nd class citizens. #InternationalWomensDay
I also had experiences of men expecting something else from me than my mind when closing big deals with companies. One time I was invited to discuss business over drinks, which seemed legit initially, but I was then drugged by him. I excused myself the moment I realised & locked
myself in a stall until I could think clearly. I called a friend who confirmed I’d probably been drugged, and kept me talking. Part of me was still thinking I had to go back out because I’d be letting down the company if I didn’t close the deal. Another part of me was thinking

On #InternationalWomensDay we have a male GP boasting about doing intimate examination on women without a chaperone now that “they transitioned”. Patients, who don’t want to piss off their doctor, are used as validation. Read if you have a stomach for it
bjgp.org/content/67/660…
I want to illustrate just how dangerous it is allowing men to impersonate women in a medical setting, for whatever reason. Women won’t tell you or confront you, They will risk their own lives to avoid you. I’m not alone in this
I wrote a thread about sexism in medicine. Half way down are examples that illustrate how women are abused by male doctors in intimate exam and procedure setting. This is coercion and assault. Consent is problematic when power differential is so huge
