Good article by Daisy Turnball. Imperative that we keep having these vital conversations, especially with our youth, and keep working tirelessly to shift damaging gender norms in this country. apple.news/A7xgVOIrLSDSisRKF…

An exemplary piece of libertarian and egalitarian thinking. Live long and prosper, Daniel. Your generation is mighty.

You Can’t Unsee What It Looks Like When You Photoshop Men Out of Politics. (ElleUK shows what it looks like when you remove all the men from pictures of politicians and celebrities. It’s a stark glimpse at a world that is wildly out of balance.) 2017. boredpanda.com/no-men-politi…

Yaaaaay! Our paper with @BrenChurchill and @SabinoKornrich is accepted!!
We find:
Fathers in younger cohorts are doing more housework then previous cohorts but mother's time remains unchanged
All fathers are spending more time with children
But mothers still do more

Thrilled to have our glossary published by the BMJ. We hope this work facilitates the utility of more respectful, inclusive and consistent language application across the public health arena #SGM #gender #LGBTQ

Hats off to @abbie_herway for her passion and commitment to reporting and showcasing women’s sport - what a remarkable 12yr old human

A report out yesterday shows that women in the media are still over a decade away from achieving parity in representation. Only 18% of sports bylines were written by women

UK contemporary sculptor known as Anna & the Willow creates nature-inspired sculptures made from rods of willow #WomensArt
ALT Photograph of a scuplture in a woodland setting, the sculpture features a figure in a long dress in a pose as if about to release an arrow from a bow, facing away from the viewer, the figure looks female and is constructed with many brown willow strands twisted into shape, it stands on a path surrounded by trees

It's not that women can't work, or don't want to work, it's the other bits of life that the world wants from them and the expectations of gender that get in the way. Excellent article by @kitmcmahon

Women are at greater risk of job loss and sustained employment precarity after the covid-19 pandemic, with consequential effects on their health and wellbeing. Responses to covid-19 must attend to gendered effects. See our article with @humairamaheen @ytaouk & Tony LaMontagne

Women’s disproportionate experience of job losses owing to covid-19 means they are at particular risk of experiencing sustained health consequences.
An explicit gender focus must frame our responses to covid-19, say @TaniaLKing and colleagues bmj.com/content/380/bmj-2022…

#NotAllMen fails to understand the role we play in holding abusive men to account
Why are so few men engaging in the issue of violence against women?

Breaking News: Taliban issued a new ruling in Balkh province, Afghanistan, stating that women are not allowed to visit male doctors !!
And, no education to women as well, so no female doctors either !!
