Review of #LondonFireBrigade finds incidents of #misogyny. Female #firefighters have been groped, beaten, and had their helmets filled with urine. Dear London Fire Brigade, your values are on fire. Fix it! Thank you. #FeministFriday #FirstResponders #firefighters

27 years after the launch of the #WomensPrizeForFiction, #WomensPrizeForNonfiction will be introduced in 2024. Only 26.5% of non-fiction reviews in UK newspapers was allocated to female writers, 35.5% of non-fiction prizes over the past 10 years was awarded female writers, and the #GenderPayGap among writers has increased from 33.3% to 35.7%. There are plenty of patterns to disrupt. #FeministFriday #representation #GenderPayGap #nonfiction #WomensPrizeForFiction #WomensPrizeForNonfictio

Proposals to legally protect the rights of women experiencing menopause have been rejected by the UK government—because it could discriminate against men. Dear Conservatives, human rights is not a zero-sum game. Let’s work additively, shall we? #FeministFriday #menopause #EqualityAct #WomensHealth #WomensRights #HumanRights

Can we discuss this on the right premise? #FeministFriday #AbortionRights #WomensRights #PostReports https://pca.st/episode/a5d5f02a-7cd8-451c-886a-0092ccacf7c2

Women represent 50% of the population, 66% of the congregations in the Church of England, and 55% of cohorts in training for priesthood. Still, less than 33% of paid clergies are women. I guess Christian virtues are not immune to institutionalized discrimination. #FeministFriday #ChurchOfEngland #christianity #representation #InstitutionalizedDiscrimination #discrimination
