This is what women on the right say about another woman who was gang raped. These are the same people our current Dem leadership thinks should be allowed to participate in normal society after we wrest control from the psychos.

Women suffer more pain than men across the whole body, major global study finds
Researchers looked at pain around the world and across the human lifespan, finding steepest rise happens before age 55 Women report suffering more pain than men, a major new global study has found. That was true for all types of pain the researchers measured, and comes amid continuing concern about the gender pain gap, which means women are less likely to be prescribed the pain relief they need.

Spot the difference
Side-by-side comparison of three social media posts announcing the death of former Republican House Speaker Dennis Hastert at age 84. On the left, Fox News posts, “BREAKING: Dennis Hastert, longest-serving Republican House speaker, dead at 84,” above a photo of Hastert raising his hand at a microphone. In the center, CBS News posts, “Former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, who represented Illinois for two decades in Congress and was later jailed for violating banking laws, has died,” above a photo of Hastert walking through the U.S. Capitol. On the right, MeidasTouch posts, “Dennis Hastert, the longest-serving Republican Speaker in history, has died at 84. Hastert admitted in federal court to sexually abusing boys he coached as a high school wrestling coach. A federal judge called him a ‘serial child molester.’ He was a registered sex offender.” The MeidasTouch post includes an image of Hastert speaking from the House floor with a C-SPAN chyron identifying him as Speaker of the House.

Personally, my views and analysis place me in the non-Zionist or anti-Zionist camp. But I don't use these terms because I think they are misleading and unhelpful. They encompass too many positions, they are often primarily emotional rather than analytical.

It’s absolutely fucking WILD that this was committed to writing, given that every Muslim and pro-Palestinian who appeared in the media from late 2023 onwards was asked whether they supported Hamas and required to renounce terrorism.
Asking Jews to pass a purity test and renounce self-determination according to a perverse interpretation arbitrarily applied, isn't just an extreme position, it's a racist one.

That's before we consider the Green party is now backing violent dismantling of Israel.

Tragicomic that there are thousands of people in the Greens who spent 2015-19 in Labour. They've had ~7yrs to think about what went wrong, about strategy, tactics, messaging, political priorities & constructing/ maintaining different voter coalitions.
And the conclusion they've drawn is: "This time let's do MORE very public, divisive, pointless and esoteric arguments about Zionism & Jews & anti-Semitism that have O impact on anything happening in the Middle East Ce"

Sonia Sodha in The Times crying about banning conversion practices
Conversion Practices Bill is a licence for trouble
Prime minister needs to ditch toxic legislation that threatens the rights of women and parents
Sonia Sodha @soniasodha

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. A maxim that has been embraced by campaigners for men to be able to intrude into female spaces and for children experiencing gender distress to be pushed down a risky medical pathway, all under the misleading banner of “trans rights”. These campaigners have lost some important battles. Their strategy of bullying female opponents out of their jobs and public life ran into problems when the courts made clear that this was unlawful discrimination. Then the Supreme Court clarified that men are never women for the purpose of using female-only facilities and services.

Meanwhile the medical consensus is finally shifting to an understanding that children experiencing transitory gender distress, often a product of other issues, should be able to access exploratory therapy rather than puberty-blocking drugs.

Now gender campaigners have opened a new front, pushing for legislation to ban so-called “conversion practices”. This innocuous-sounding but dangerous Trojan horse is designed to override legal protections for single-sex spaces and to threaten parents, teachers and healthcare professionals acting in children’s best interests. Worst of all, it was adopted in Labour’s 2024 manifesto, a quid pro quo for the party dropping self-ID.

There is a long and terrible history of same-sex-attracted people being subjected to conversion practices such as electroshock therapy and corrective rape. These practices are thankfully rare, and importantly already criminal.

As is anything constituting harassment or physical or sexual assault under criminal statute. Indeed, the minister who led the Lords debate simply listed a number of existing offences as justification for the bill and when pushed was unable to provide concrete examples of practices that should be — but are no…

Apparently my mom sued her former boss after he fired her for getting pregnant with me and it was such a rare thing at the time it made the paper, my mom was such a badass, I love and miss her so much 😭 (full summary of what's written in the image alt text)
News clipping from the Portland Press Herald, Local & State section, March 26, 1994. 

Headline: "Deli owner charged with sex bias." 

The article is about my mom, Shelley Vincent. It ran 16 days before her hearing. It reports that she charged Frank Rogers, owner of Front Street Deli, with sexua
l harassment for calling her unborn child (me) a "little b*stard" and telling her to get an abortion. 

A Maine Human Rights Commission investigator found reasonable grounds that unlawful discrimination occurred. He reported that Rogers admitted asking whether she'd considered an abortion, telling her his taxes would pay for her pregnancy and she hadn't made enough in taxes to cover it, and regularly greeting her at work with slurs about her unborn baby (me).

She'd worked there since April 1990. She reported she came back from maternity leave in December 1992, less than a month after I was born, got a written warning that same month, and was fired on March 27, 1993.

The investigator at the time suggested it was not illegal, and was performance-based. However, my mother DID win her hearing in April meaning yes, Frank did fire her illegally.
