Introducing: The War on Women Substack

There are now so many attacks on women’s rights on so many fronts that I’m just not able to cover it all in my updates, and like everyone in this fight, I feel bad when I’m not doing everything I can for La Résistance. So I’m setting up a separate newsletter to focus on actions everyone can take to fight back.

Some examples:

America rushing through the vote on the Equality act, without debate.

Helen Joyce @HJoyceGender

My God this is fast. American followers might like to act NOW

Eliza Mondegreen @elizamondegreen

The US House of Representatives is planning to vote on the #EqualityAct this Thursday -- without convening any hearings on the bill. Please contact your representative and senators now: https://t.co/FNshNJonzQ or call Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121! https://t.co/gV9UeZQ5nm

And the feminist response.

The actual police promoting the destruction of women’s sports

National LGBT+ Police Network @LGBTpoliceuk

Today's historical event is in 2003 when the International Olympic Committee drew up guidelines for trans athletes. These guidelines paved the way to allow trans people to compete in the @Olympics with the gender they identified with. #LGBTHM21

…and then actually threatening anyone who objects.

National LGBT+ Police Network @LGBTpoliceuk

We have a short message for all those posting hateful comments. We see you, we've reported your comments and we won't stop supporting trans and non binary people. #NoPlaceForHate

The upcoming action Fair Cop are taking against this nonsense.

In 2 weeks time, we are at The Court of Appeal challenging the Hate Guidance. Even if you think @HarryTheOwl101 is a nob, please consider throwing something into the pot. We have the opportunity to win this.

The heartbreaking and disgraceful situation with RISE.

"Domestic abuse charity loses £5M in funding because it is not gender-neutral Refuge and domestic abuse service Rise had its money pulled after 26 years. Rise is mostly a women-only service."

Refuge and domestic abuse service Rise had its money pulled after 26 years.

And the fundraiser to help them.

@BrightonHoveCC have removed £5M of funding from @riseuk for not being gender neutral! Women will die as a direct result of this heartless decision! “We are at serious risk of losing our network of refuges run by women for women.” Please sign 🙏 change.org/p/brighton-hov…

I’ll also be publishing women who have been banned from Twitter, Medium and other social networking sites for fighting for their rights.

This stuff just floods in all the time and I just can’t keep up with it. I also feel perpetually guilty about spamming you with emails. So watch out for The War on Women newsletter. It’ll be free as always, but I might charge a nominal fee to comment as that tends to keep MRA trolls away. And if you don’t want to sign up for another substack, don’t worry, I will of course be linking to it from here too.
