Since she was a little girl, men have been making “jokes” about wanting to rape Greta Thunberg. These “jokes” are rape culture. Men use sexual violence as a threat and a punchline when women and girls do things they don’t like.

Misogyny and racism are normalised, even promoted by “celebrities” like Clarkson & Morgan.
It leads to & is responsible for increased violence against women and girls. Sexualising & demonising women in the way they do has to stop.

Combo of misogynoir, sexism & racism against #MeghanMarkIe on public display is sick
Likes of Jeremy Clarkson, Piers Morgan et al can spew their filth with impunity against her, be rewarded with media platforms & party with Queen Camilla. Why you ask?

I was left with this question, why hasn’t a black woman been the star of her own gothic romance? So this is Jane Eyre if Jane Eyre was black and had shagged the mad woman in the attic and maybe killed Mr Rochester. - @mrsjaneymac 🔥🔥 theguardian.com/media/2022/n…

To cut through all the whataboutery, how about this as a base criteria? There shouldn’t be a World Cup anywhere that wouldn’t hold a Women’s World Cup.

The best description of emotional abuse I’ve ever heard is from @laurenlaverne, in a column written almost a decade ago. It’s stayed with me ever since:
