It’s policing her clothes, and her body. It’s too common in primary, asking girls not to show their knickers… what’s the uniform policy like - can she wear school shorts, can the boys wear skirts / dresses?
Gender Diary retweeted
Weird but normalised. If society think that 6yr old girls legs or knickers are indecent & inappropriate, why do school uniform policies suggest skirts or dresses for 6yr old girls? Should 6yr old girls learn early to limit themselves, manage their body, be self conscious about...

When faced with misogyny in the headlines teachers and parents always ask:
"How do I talk to the boys in my life about sexual violence?"
You don't. You don't start there. If you want to have an actual conversation that works, it has to begin somewhere else. 🧵

"she realised it was good news – these were men who hadn’t grown up with equal-partner fathers... If they had willingly taken on half the domestic load, without seeing that as normal while growing up, then so could other men." @GenderDiary @MumsnetTowers

Its been 5 years since #nomoreboysandgirls aired. How far have we come with gender equality in schools? Should @Outline_TV follow this up in another school and see what the impact has been? @DrJavidA @Jeremy_S_D @HelenVeale @GECCollect @GFNScotland @GenderDiary @ginarippon1

“Been running into dads of my 3 [-year-old’s] classmates and asking for their emails for his birthday party,” she wrote. “So far three out of three dads have proceeded to give me their wives’ emails instead. This is now a social experiment.”

The idea that women are just innately better at Google calendars and unending group texts is silly. You learn to manage it because you have to.
With the school year approaching, here's how to make your inboxes and texts more equitable this year: huffpost.com/entry/dads-stop…

Question:
In your experience do secondary schools always give out reports at the end of summer term?
Have you known schools that don’t provide them until later in the summer or the new school year?

This book is being given to every primary-aged child in the UK. Did you know, @educationgovuk @dkbooks that By Age 6 Girls Are More Likely To Think "Genius" And "Brilliance" Are Male Traits, Not Female iflscience.com/by-age-6-girl… 2/2

Do ‘creative geniuses’ only include men? There are two women mentioned here, over 100 years… (Rosalind Franklin and JK Rowling). @educationgovuk why did you not consult @LiftingLimitsUK @LetToysBeToys @NoSchoolSexism and more before deciding who was a genius? 1/2
