I'm going to spend all of tomorrow tweeting the gender pay gaps of brands pink washing their feminism credentials on #IWD aren't I?
Ok, it’s on. I’ll do this tomorrow. I also have a piece coming out in @BylineTimes about the gender pay gap issue.
Here's the list of gender pay gaps in brands that champion #IWD2021 - a day rooted in the socialist movement and designed to improve women's working conditions.

It's not a day to tweet your support. It's a day for action.

Here's the article for @BylineTimes analysing the gender pay gap reports of #IWD2021 supporters and partners bylinetimes.com/2021/03/08/iwd…

Happy #IWD2021 where I #ChooseToChallenge corporate BS pink washing their lack of equal pay & sure record on sexual harassment.
At 10am I’ll tweet a list of 25 corporations who support #IWD2021  while still having median hourly wage gender pay gaps or bonus gaps.
I’ve also got a package of articles @BylineTimes on pay gap, anti feminist movements & threats to women journalists
That should say poor record, not sure record

Last week I tweeted about how 2 April as a “lockdown lifting” date seemed a long time & lots of people sent v lovely replies about cafes & pubs opening but I want to say something about lockdown when you live alone. Coz it’s not cafes I miss.
This whole thread is caveated with awareness of my own privilege - I have work, health, a home. Many many people are in much worse situations. I don’t have to juggle childcare or home school, I don’t live with an abuser, I’m not shielding & totally cut off.
But lockdown is hard when you live alone. I last hugged someone in October - I prob shouldn’t have. If in the best case scenario I can hug someone on 2 April that’s over 6 months with no physical contact.

When I started writing this story about Tory links to the Invicta Academy, Tory MPs, councillors & associates were described as "sponsors". After I requested a comment, the Sponsors page was deleted & replaced with supporters: bylinetimes.com/2021/01/25/con… @BylineTimes
So - Invicta National Academy is closely linked to the Conservative Party. Its co-founders were an Approved Parliamentary Candidate & a Candidate, its "sponsors" are councillors, MPs and candidates... read all about them and it here @BylineTimes bylinetimes.com/2021/01/25/con…
You can see the old sponsors page on way back machine web.archive.org/web/2021012418…

I cannot, cannot believe that it hasn't been total headline news about Dawn Butler closing her constituency office due to violent threats. This is an assault on our democracy, it is an assault on women of colour in public life, and it is a threat to a functioning state.
In December we had endless bulletins about a completely untrue incident of a Hancock's aide being "attacked" - now we have incontrovertible evidence of a Labour woman under siege & while it is making news it's not the headlines.
But this is what happens when you elect a Party whose leader told women raising concerns about their safety (and the associated safety of democracy) they were talking "HUMBUG". Male violence is women's reality. It's not humbug, and the danger to democracy isn't humbug either.
