@WRNWales @WitchyMcWitch @38355274c @JackMerched @legalfeminist All have been taken off now. If there are any more then that is a legacy from the original.

@Texrus @WitchyMcWitch @38355274c @JackMerched @legalfeminist Thanks Michelle

NO NO NO West Wales Domestic Abuse Service (and Carmarthenshire DAS). If you apply an Occupational Requirement exception to employ only women, this does NOT mean you can also include cosplaying men. FACT. Unforgivable @Texrus (CEO) uk.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=3c0… @legalfeminist

This is one of the most heart-breaking & important articles I have ever read - from someone whose voices are so rarely heard, a teenaged girl. If you want to understand online misogyny in all its devastating impact, please read this shattering piece. Here’s one appalling extract: "A few days ago I saw an Instagram reel of a young woman talking about how she had been raped six years ago, struggled with thoughts of suicide afterwards, but managed to rebuild her life again. Among the comments – the majority of which were from men – were things like “Well at least you had some”, “No way, she’s unrapeable”, “Hope you didn’t talk this much when it happened”, “Bro could have picked a better option.” Reading those comments, which had thousands of likes and many boys agreeing with them, made me feel sick.” And here’s the impact on this teenager’s self-esteem: "Using social media has ruined my self-esteem & my relation to being a girl in this world, & nearly every day I feel hatred towards my gender, my appearance, or even teenage girls as a category. The misogyny I see from boys my age online, which is echoed in real life too, has made me grow resentful and bitter towards them, as much as I try to avoid it. As wrong as it is, I persistently find myself considering if there are truly any boys out there who are not misogynistic to some extent, & have even questioned whether I can find love in the future because of this.” Our daughters do not have to grow up in a world that teaches them they're "community pussy" while still children. Teen boys aren't born misoygnistic - they learn these attitudes from adults. This is on every one of us, male and female alike, to fix. Banning kids from social media won't come close to addressing the fundamental misogyny that's alive, well and thriving in contemporary society. If all of us refused to accept it, called it out for what it is, culture would change. What a brave young woman this author is.

@WRNWales @WitchyMcWitch @38355274c @JackMerched @legalfeminist Have tried to explain and will do more to sort.

@Texrus @WitchyMcWitch @38355274c @JackMerched @legalfeminist Happy to do so. There’s one still uncorrected though. uk.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=4df…

@WRNWales @WitchyMcWitch @38355274c @JackMerched @legalfeminist Thank you for the update and letting everyone know.

@WitchyMcWitch @38355274c @JackMerched @Texrus @legalfeminist Update: adverts now corrected!

I’ve long supported @centreWJ and their work w/abused women who kill their tormentors. Coercive control traps victims. Some are killed. Some are driven to suicide. Some act to survive. This isn’t about excusing violence. It’s about understanding it to prevent it. Watch Now ⬇️

@birdwoman1966 @Norbett1010 @WRNWales @legalfeminist Good morning. I am not the CEO of CARMDAS. Today conversations have been had in a very thoughtful and kind way and the highlighted issue has been looked at and has been changed. Thank you to those who pointed out this mistake.

@Texrus @Norbett1010 @WRNWales @legalfeminist I’ve just had another one emailed to me. Road to Recovery Post Separation Worker CarmDAS uk.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=f9e…

@WRNWales @CeriRosser @legalfeminist Oh now you are telling me what I should do. Shame you could not contact us directly and discuss in a friendly manner something that feminists and those who are kind would normally do. Nice to hide behind a network but take out a woman who is working hard to support other women.

@Texrus @CeriRosser @legalfeminist Your first response should have been ‘I will be addressing this with Carms DAS and Indeed tomorrow. Not resorting to denial and trying to blame everyone else. We’d love to see you get this sorted out quickly btw.

@Norbett1010 @WRNWales @legalfeminist @WestWalesDAS The organisation I work did not put out an advert with the information as quoted. I was accused on here about not understanding the law- that is why I responded. When you work in partnership sometimes other organisations put details out you are not aware of. Hope that explains

@WRNWales @Bechemel @legalfeminist @WestWalesDAS Yes @WestWalesDAS adverts are clear.

@Texrus @Bechemel @legalfeminist @WestWalesDAS Are you confirming these jobs are utilising the occupational requirement exception and are for women only? And we clearly mean biological females. Just a clear answer. And then you can correct this mess with your partners at Carms DAS and with Indeed tomorrow. Thank you

@CeriRosser @WRNWales @legalfeminist Will be discussing tomorrow. Something that maybe @WRNWales might have considered before trying to prevent women from accessing very precious DA services in rural wales

@Texrus @WRNWales @legalfeminist You must be appalled by the advertisements. Are you going to demand they're all immediately withdrawn?

@WRNWales @Bechemel @legalfeminist @WestWalesDAS No you are taking something out of context. It hurts when having worked for years to prevent Violence against women and girls you choose to take action against the very women who have worked for years to make change happen and can’t be polite enough to check the details.

@Texrus @Bechemel @legalfeminist @WestWalesDAS So you’ve gone from ‘you are so wrong’ to ‘blame the group we’re in partnership with’. You and Carmarthenshire DAS are recruiting for these roles. Take some responsibility befitting of your senior role and have urgent talks with them in the morning to correct this.

@WRNWales @Norbett1010 @legalfeminist This is not the advert that @westwalesdas put out.

@Texrus @Norbett1010 @legalfeminist

@WRNWales @Bechemel @legalfeminist Please can you stop telling me as the CEO of @WestWalesDAS that it is us. I can see what you have picked up from an advert but this is not an advert that @WestWalesDAS has sent out. Check your facts it isn’t my organisations advert.

@Texrus @Bechemel @legalfeminist Explain where we are wrong. We’re looking at your job adverts on Indeed. Read them. See excerpt below. Where are we wrong?

@WRNWales @Bechemel @legalfeminist You have this all wrong. Please get your facts right.

@Texrus @Bechemel @legalfeminist Does ‘truly feminist’ mean including men who say they are women in your view?

@WRNWales @legalfeminist @ForWomenScot with respect I do. Just because you read something that isn’t even part of the organisation I work with. You are not helping feminists who have worked hard in the field of domestic abuse to support women and girls. If you had any guts you would have contacted us to understand

@Texrus @legalfeminist We’re ’on about’ your unlawful interpretation of the occupational requirement exception under the Equality Act 2010. We’re ’on about’ you not understanding the law. We’re ‘on about’ you appearing to have no idea of the Supreme Court judgment in the @ForWomenScot case.

@WRNWales @legalfeminist @ForWomenScot You are having a go @westwalesdas but you are wrong. Please do not make assumptions

@WRNWales @Bechemel @legalfeminist You really have it all wrong as you are targeting the wrong organisation when you have a go at organisations that are truly feminist. You destroy the very women that helped and continue to prevent violence against women and girls.

@Bechemel @Texrus @legalfeminist Maybe they don’t want to?
