I am #NotABot

I’ve been tweeting in my name for 10+ years

I’ve been tweeting #KeepPrisonsSingleSex since 2018 when I realised how women’s sex based rights were being rolled back, with the most vulnerable women paying the highest price

#NotBots

As historian & lecturer, I tweeted mainly about history

When I defended women’s sex-based rights, #twitterstorians blocked & unfollowed me

Most women can’t afford to face professional & personal ostracism

I tweeted more for women who can’t

Then came the vexatious complaints to my employer

My university supported my academic freedom and exonerated me in two investigations

Few feminists in these circumstances have been given a fair hearing

That’s why women tweet anonymously

#KeepPrisonsSingleSex

The hashtag in my profile is

#IStandWithJamesThreadwell

This academic criminologist is under investigation by his university for tweeting his concerns of males - including sex offenders - being housed in female prisons

This is why feminists use anonymous accounts #NotBots

#NotABot

@James_Treadwell has left twitter because of the personal attacks and attempts to damage his career which have affected his family

This is why women tweet anonymously

Here is his last thread

The first woman to speak in Parliament was Elizabeth Fry in 1818 when she told a select committee that prisons should be single sex

It is outrageous that 200 years later, women cannot speak openly on the rights of their sex without facing threats

When hundreds met to discuss A Woman’s Place is Not in Prison @Womans_Place_UK in 2021, they were met by sexist and racist taunts and abuse

But women will keep on speaking and taking action online and in real life, in our own names and anonymously if we have to

We are fighting for the rights of all women and girls everywhere

Watch why we should #KeepPrisonsSingleSex
