@PaulGadsden82 And in denial. Many men seem to think all women, any age, are fair game. My daughter was 11 when a man asked her if she was 18. And what? Thinking she would want him to sexualise her irrespective?

Came to the awful realisation that a lot of men are actually paedophiles.

@MFWitches 11. By a doctor touching my genitals. My mother was in the room. She said nothing. Did nothing. I am writing my memoir about these experiences and worse.

What took you so long? Seriously: several times on our posts over the years we’ve asked women to state the first age at which they felt sexualised by men or were harassed and/or assaulted by a man. Not one woman (out of thousands and thousands sometimes who responded on our threads) named an age older than 14, and the majority named an age of 11 or 12 … and well over a third said they were first sexually assaulted or raped at the age of 2, 4, 6 or 8. Women have known this for years and decades and centuries. Why are so many men so devastatingly slow to catch up?

@pixelelatedG @Nyagecha @AfricanArchives Yes. We too have a lot to answer for.

@Nyagecha @AfricanArchives Wow. Are Australians also racist assholes? Why did they not welcome his protest of the mistreatment of people?

In 1968, Tommie Smith and John Carlos performed the Black Power salute at the Olympics that outraged millions of white Americans. —The was an act of protest by the U.S. athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos during their medal ceremony at the 1968 Summer Olympics in the Olympic Stadium in Mexico City. As they turned to face their flags and hear the American national anthem (The Star-Spangled Banner), they each raised a Black-gloved fist and kept them raised until the anthem had finished. Smith, Carlos and Australian silver medalist Peter Norman all wore human rights badges on their jackets. The event is regarded as one of the most overtly political statements in the history of the modern Olympic Games. Both athletes were kicked off the US team for their protest.

@Nyagecha @AfricanArchives Shame on us. He will always be a hero in my mind

@AfricanArchives And Norman was treated like a dog by the Australian government and Australians in general till his death recently

@AfricanArchives Peter Norman, the Australian who won the silver and chose to wear the badge in support of his competitors cause on the stand, didn't fare much better on his return home. He remained a virtual outcast the rest of his life. Only now are we celebrating him.

@AfricanAU Saba

@TRUMP_ARMY_ @realDonaldTrump God help you all.

@realDonaldTrump So True

@JohnStrandUSA @realDonaldTrump The only job he might excel at.

@realDonaldTrump There’s simply nobody like him

@TRUMP_ARMY_ @realDonaldTrump I think you're confused. Not iconic. Fake.

@realDonaldTrump Most iconic picture of this year!!

@VivekRammaswamy @realDonaldTrump Idiot. It's fake.

@realDonaldTrump This was a genius move. Trump just exposed Kamala's chronic lying, trolling her while making a genuine connection with the everyday workers she pretends to understand. The contrast couldn't be clearer.

@mistergeezy Or just being black. God help you all if Trump wins.

Being a Trump Supporter while Black. 💅🏾

@Tonaaayy_ I don't get racism. Where does all that hate come from? What I do know is that you are a gift.

Thanks my brother - was just trying to pump up the Auskicker of the year!

We are heartbroken to learn of the passing of Rebecca Cheptegei due to violence perpetrated by her partner. Our hearts go out to her family, friends, and the Ugandan sports community. Let us honor Rebecca's life and work towards a future where women are safe from male violence.

No matter how much you achieve as a woman, you’re always one bad boyfriend away from being violently killed. RIP #RebeccaCheptegei

@LakotaMan1 What's to be offended by? Embarrassed, yes. Offended, no.

So, SOME white people (MAGA’s) get offended when I post this. Asking my absolutely amazing white allies, supporters and digital friends — does this offend you in any way?

@MAKEMANGREAT @harris_wins Why do you need five? One is enough. She's not Trump.

BREAKING: Ariana Grande has announced she is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for President. Let’s go.

@AfricanAU This is so sad and appalling. Can the person who called the police be held to account? Can a formal complaint be lodged against the police?

Tuck, a 38-year-old Zimbabwean-born Australian citizen, was wrongly arrested for trespassing at his own townhouse in Narrabundah. Despite his explanation and showing his house keys, police detained him based on a neighbour's racially motivated call. 🧵1/4

I said to a friend, it was likely white boys, not black boys...African offenders are immediately identified. White offenders not profiled. shame on our media reporting. 9news.com.au/national/adela…

@ChristaLaser With 💕.

Our baby was born early and passed away yesterday. I'd welcome support that doesn't require me to respond and some forgiveness and grace at absence.
