Proud to stand with all these brilliant women, and all the women who will not be silenced. #InternationalWomensDay2024 #IWD2024 @HeatherB_WRN @MForstater @HJoyceGender @RosieDuffield1 @SonyaDouglas @K_IngalaSmith @EmmaBatemanGPW Sally @WDI_Scotland dailymail.co.uk/femail/article…

Anyone got any questions for the 'leaders of the six biggest parties' seeking YOUR vote in the Senedd elections in May? Now's your chance. @ITVWales are asking that you submit your questions to walesdecides@itv.com ready for a leader's debate at the Senedd on 19th April. We've got quite a few!

@WRNWales @ITVWales I've got a few too!

@ruth_dixon @BTP @TfL I agree. Plus there’s a lot being placed on the shoulders of women here. Perhaps @TfL might like to invest in more staff on trains instead?

@JackMerched @BTP @TfL What @TfL says in this blog is that the woman is intervening as a bystander - totally unclear in my view madeby.tfl.gov.uk/2025/10/13/cre…

Staggered at this apparent ‘advice’ 👇 to ‘be nice’ and to flatter male predators from @BTP and @TfL. Yes, women will do what they can to survive a threatening situation with a man. But that will then be used against them in court as evidence of their ‘consent’.

@AlbaVeeDub @pollsstar @BTP @TfL The lack of clarity in the ad is a problem. It means it fails at the first hurdle - it needs to have an easily understood message.

@JackMerched @pollsstar @BTP @TfL It’s a dreadful ad, but does mention intervening. I think it’s meant for bystanders. Talk to her, and indicate to the predator she has a friend and he’ll ieave her alone.

@AustinCroweLuv @gwentpolice @PoliceChiefs @JaneMuddPCC Oh I should imagine she’s well aware. Although she’s now got no excuse not to correct it.

@JackMerched @gwentpolice @PoliceChiefs Is the Police and Crime Commissioner directing this? Or aware of it? @JaneMuddPCC

I tried to imagine why @gwentpolice would not appear to care about the women who serve there, or about breaching the law. Then I remembered of course that all police forces and the NPCC @PoliceChiefs have been doing this for years with absolutely no consequences to them.

Perhaps the @EHRC might like to remind @gwentpolice of the Supreme Court judgment at the very least. And the @H_S_E presumably about the Workplace Regulations. Although such a flagrant ongoing breach surely merits more than a warning.

@msjlindsay Really wonderful 👏

Here we go: a happy tale for all the family - open.substack.com/pub/jennylinds…

I've written a new piece about emotional coercion, psychological abuse, cheese, and why being immersed in someone else's delusions is very wrong actually. Thanks BBC Woman's Hour for the conclusion. 🙏 Link follows. ⬇️

@VinaigretteGirl @CatherineHume10 Actually, a woman can be charged with rape as a principal offender, but only if she actively assists the offender (e.g. holding down the victim). This is vanishingly rare however. It would be very unusual in rape statistics to see a woman figure for this.

@CatherineHume10 @JackMerched In UK law, rape explicitly requires penetration of another’s body by a penis: it is exclusively a man’s crime. Girls can commit aggravated sexual assault but not rape.

The police are lying to the public about crime. They are corrupting their own data. Despite the alleged perpetrator and the victim being men, Avon and Somerset Police @ASPolice will record the below reported incident as a female crime, committed by a woman against a woman. 1/

Come on everyone!!! Let's get this petition rolling!! Mothers are NOT 'birthing people'

@Dorcas_Eatch @PoliceScotland Hell yes

@JackMerched @PoliceScotland They've got a long way to go to protect all women and girls though

Never thought I’d be saying this! @PoliceScotland leading the way among UK forces on access to single sex facilities and recording data based on sex. Well done Scottish women for this win 👏 1/

But why oh why are the NPCC @PoliceChiefs still dragging their feet on a coherent and lawful position? Almost a full year since the Supreme Court judgment - UK police forces are STILL in potential breach of the law. Embarrassing and indefensible. 2/2

@Permanentlypis1 @annimeaculpa @WomensRightsNet @ASPolice @ukhomeoffice @bphillipsonMP They’ve all got dirty hands on this.

@JackMerched @annimeaculpa @WomensRightsNet @ASPolice So @ukhomeoffice has instructed all police forces to act unlawfully. That is quite the admission. @bphillipsonMP

Absolutely sick to death of hearing about how the new @louistheroux documentary has made people think about attitudes to women. Lots of MPs jumping on the bandwagon. I mean, no disrespect to Louis - I’m grateful for the highlight - but for God’s sake… Women get killed by their partner every week. Tiny Man Tate has been a thing for years. Domestic violence shelters are overwhelmed. Women have been waving the red flags about incels and attitudes for years. We’ve been begging for change. We’ve been highlighting the serious threat of anti-women social media. Then a MAN makes a documentary and suddenly everyone’s interested? Do you not all think that this might be part of the problem?

@IrinaS90167 @ASPolice 💯

@JackMerched @ASPolice Very sad state of affairs. But we will continue fighting it.

@IrinaS90167 @ASPolice They fell so low years ago. The rot is so deep, front line officers are too afraid to challenge it for fear of ‘consequences’.

@JackMerched @ASPolice I cannot believe that police fell so low that they themselves are breaking the law. SC have clarified - Transwomen are MEN! Every single one.

@sueveneer I’m afraid you’re right.

@JackMerched They’ll get the players back and kill the families anyway.

Can't believe we are witnessing this happening. A terrible regime. Those poor women. Sounds like a brutal choice that's being faced. Come home and be executed, in order to save your family from this fate instead.

@Georgismum @PoliceSEENUK @MerseyPolice Well no - they did withdraw their Trans Inclusion policy allowing access to any facilities and would have been in breach of the judgment. But they sure aren't perfect as they have a strip search policy that allows opposite sex strip searching, including for juveniles.

@JackMerched @PoliceSEENUK @MerseyPolice Omg! 😱 I've just praised them for implementing the Supreme Court ruling. Are they lying then?

We are happy to confirm that we were wrong about @MerseyPolice! The Chief Constable wrote to let us know that they withdrew their unlawful policy last year.
