Thanks Rachel for debunking myths that aren’t doing anybody any good and ‘showing how reality leads us to a very different version of the contemporary crisis in masculinity than the one most often circulated’ 👏
We’re constantly being told that our present moment is one of crisis: a ‘silent epidemic’ of male unhappiness. This myth has numerous threads. Chief among them is that boys are underperforming in a schooling system that’s biased towards girls’ aptitudes. There are further claims:
Today we march to commemorate the Nakba and protest the ongoing atrocities by Israel in the Gaza Strip, armed and supported by the UK government. As PSC Director @BenJamalpsc explains, we stand with Palestinians in their darkest hour. Join us! 1200 Embankment, London

Perhaps the point in #Adolescence about how normalised, ordinary, day to day and constant sexism is in workplaces, schools, communities is made by the fact everyone is ignoring it & talking about boys being left behind drfinnmackay.co.uk/blog/adolescen…
A miraculous recovery needed. There were big defeats in the 90s but this may be worse …! C’mon Wales 🏴

Trump has ordered the withdrawal of the US from the @WHO. The British Medical Journal reacted saying that “Withdrawal from WHO does not “Make America Healthy Again,” but instead threatens the US' national interests and public health. leftfootforward.org/2025/01/trump-…
Reminder of what a huge sucker you are if you voted for Trump to "shake up the system." You voted for the people who already have the power and the money. They're not going to share it. They're going to take more from you. You gave them permission.

I found myself with more to say about the use of abused women and children as pawns in power politics than I could fit in a few tweets. Of course, there’s much more to say than this too. kareningalasmith.com/2025/01/08/abu…
