The growing witch hunt of women speaking up for our sex-based legal rights is an absolute disgrace.

It is now routine for the behaviour and opinions of women to be surveilled and denounced at every turn. Women are being reported to our employers or the police; we are slurred on social and mainstream media; we are purged from our professional and political organisations.

When you see a group who have been organising against women's legal rights on a panel purporting to challenge misogyny, it seems reasonable to ask why they are there. Apparently not... I received the link to the meeting & was invited to submit a question which I did: “Given the Single Sex Exemptions in the Equality Act are in place to address the misogyny and sexism faced by women and girls, can Stonewall explain why they are lobbying to have them removed?”

A thread on women and trade unions. Following my blog on #TUC2020 women have been asking what’s the point of being in a union and whether they should leave. Stay.

Women who are members of a trade union are better paid and have better working conditions than women who are not. newstatesman.com/politics/stagg…
