(This matters because it's a #historical outrage.)
Have you ever heard of an Icosathlon? It's a double #decathlon. 20 events.
And just like the decathlon is exclusively open to men.
The Icosathlon was open to #women for two years (until 2021) & then eliminated - women were again barred from competing!
The 2021 #winner made her own #Icosathlon open to All this year, but its results remain "unofficial".
Imagine barring someone for their #gender in 2023...

Some #states are even exploring options to potentially prosecute people who help #women travel out of state to obtain an #abortion.
In the early #legal skirmishing over this agenda, opponents including the federal #DOJ have won a surprising number of decisions, mostly in #FederalCourt, blocking #states from implementing the new #laws.

"“We’re looking back at the #MeToo movement now in the rearview mirror and everyone’s always asking, ‘Are things better? Are things worse?'” said producer Kathleen Lingo, who works for the Times. “It’s really hard to have a blanket assessment, but just the fact that the women who felt a sense of promise at that moment now don’t feel it anymore — I think is quite stark.”"

Again, if I am ever single again, why I would be on my way to a Buddhist Tibetan monastery. I would not survive 5 minutes in the modern dating scene with women like these. (At least Abby got my back).

Stripping women of their rights leaves them vulnerable to abuse by men.
In Afghanistan, religious-based laws have made it impossible for a woman to survive on her own....

Is there any research on #Apple ‘s lockdown mode as a #cybersecurity tool as it intersects with required irl safety measures? Preferably performed by #women, but not necessarily?
(The restrictions in it are so great as to not leave enough evidence of what happened, from my estimation...)
Feminist pioneer #MoniqueBégin dies at 87
«In 1966, she was a signatory of the founding charter of the #FederationDesFemmesDuQuebec, for which she served as the first vice-president.
The following year, she was named secretary general of the #RoyalCommission of Inquiry into the Status of #Women in #Canada. The report it published in 1970 remains important to this day.»

"White men have controlled women’s reproductive rights throughout US history. The post-Dobbs era is no different.
This is not the first period in U.S. history when white men have exercised control over women’s right to bear – or not bear – children, including during slavery."

Today in Writing History September 10, 1960: Alison Bechdel, American author and illustrator was born. She is most famous for her “Dykes to Watch Out For,” comic strip. And for her “Bechdel Test,” originally intended as a joke in one of her comics, but which has since become a routine metric used by critics as an indicator for the active presence of women in a film.
