The assisted dying bill has been written as though male violence and coercive control didn't exist - and ignores the evidence about men "mercy killing" sick women. For the NS: newstatesman.com/politics/fe…

Men like Gregg know that most women don't complain most of the time because we know it only makes things worse for us. They count on it. How dare women who (possibly) have a bit more security speak out? And not only that, women who've dared to age?

Great discussion in this week's podcast about the scrutiny of the Assisted Dying Bill, what might happen at each stage, and how the Government might improve the process.
Our latest Parliament Matters podcast is on the #AssistedDying Bill:
- How does the Private Members' Bill (PMB) process work?
- Can the PMB process handle such weighty legislation?
- What is the Government's role in relation to PMBs?

You, reading this tweet thinking this is nothing to do with you because you don’t commit violence and you’re sure you’ve got no internalised misogyny.

"Not all men" - but so many men helped Gisele Pelicot's husband:
The 73 men who came to her house and raped her.
The 3 men who left - and didn't call the police.
The thousands of men who saw the ads on the website - and didn't call the police.

Women being killed is a feature, not a bug, of prostitution. If Labour is serious about its target to halve male violence against women & girls it must criminalise buying sex and the pimps & websites that profit from prostituting women.
