Nope. Been reposting everything I see. Apart from boosting their content, no need for me to say anything. Iranian women are saying all that needs to be said most eloquently.

We are witnessing one of the biggest feminist revolutions in history, and for some reason, Western feminists are completely silent.

Two are my favourites of 2026 were stellar thrillers. The Persian by @mccloskeybooks that is as essential and gripping as his first Damascus Station - fascinating in the light of Israel Iran war. And Sheepdogs a dazzling and playful adventure by @elliotackerman essential too on new ways of war and espionage

Suggest bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0024vt… and bmj.com/content/387/bmj.q260… (which won a prize from the royal stats society….) men deserve fair information. The current media campaigns are not serving men well. We need better research - and the transform trial should help +++
