This is the shit I am up against on a regular basis.

This is what women like me have to report to the police frequently.

How many of us have ever got justice?

Disgusting how much abuse women are subjected to - our governments, police forces & authorities do fuck all.

This shit is so normal to me now, that I get it, read it and think ‘for fucks sake, not another’ and then have to get on with my job.

That’s NOT NORMAL.

Women in the public eye get this shit and much worse - daily.

We do fuckin nothing to stand up against misogyny

How many of us have reported stuff like this and not only to the police do relatively little (often nothing) but the platforms won’t even take half of this shit down!

Platforms saying these things don’t break their community guidelines - bullshit!

I was sent that message by a man in Canada in May 2020 - along with thousands of others because of my book

I couldn’t share them at the time because they were all part of police investigation

Hey! But guess what?

Nothing is being done, so I guess I can share this now? Yay.

This is what disgusts me about the bullshit petty fuckin nothing’s that the police keep hauling women in over - but it’s alright to send us shit like this and sit back and do nothing?

Where is the outrage for the misogyny and outright hatred of women in the public eye?

Nowhere

I was sent literally over 10,000 messages, comments, emails and shit like this in the period of 5 days

Thousands of crimes were committed. Thousands of men committed those crimes.

They live with women and girls around them.

What have we done to protect them?

A publication also put up two disgusting magazine articles about me at the same time, which were absolutely vile.

The police know who runs them but they are in a different country so apparently there is ‘nothing they can do’

We all know that’s bollocks

This bullshit - apparently cant be taken down

Two articles - police know who this man is, apparently we can’t do anything

Wait wait you haven’t heard the best bit

Guess what advice I’ve been repeatedly given by police??

To stop using social media!!

Brilliant.

I have been directly asked why I keep using social media and been told that I should expect to be treated like this because of the work I do.

Sorry, isn’t that victim blaming?

No, I should be able to be a psychologist without constant death and rape threats

The world isn’t ready, and doesn’t want female voices of influence or power.

This is what happens to us all.

I’m not unique in any way.

Look at the way @jessphillips @HackneyAbbott @NicolaSturgeon @jk_rowling @theestallion have all been treated online (and still are)

Women who step out of line in any way, shape or form, will be fuckin slammed down with as much abuse and male violence as possible

But we STILL see authorities and governments ignoring misogyny as a massive global oppression of women and girls
