"Diseases presenting differently in women are often missed or misdiagnosed, those affecting mainly women remain largely a mystery: understudied, undertreated and frequently misdiagnosed or undiagnosed."

The man on the right persecuted women relentlessly for trying to protect themselves from male predators. The man on the left supported him.

This article talks about women saying yes, then changing to no. I’m going to say it again. They want her to say No, so they make that happen. These rapists don’t want consent, they actively want no consent. That’s the point.

Very, very rarely does a celeb matter to me. This wonderful man did, using his voice to stand up and speak out for women and girls who were victims of male violence.
A sad loss to this world 💔

Such a "bright lad" will realise that stalking and almost killing a girl in bright daylight = slap on the wrist.
And what about the bright girl who almost died? All the other bright girls who are stalked and attacked? What conclusions will they draw?

Note to all Judges: Stabbing a girl 10 times is not ‘mischief’. It’s serious violence. (We should not have to point this out).
Yet another case where a Judge is apparently more focused on the wellbeing of the violent male youth, than the brutalised girl. We agree with her mother. This derisory sentence is indeed disgraceful.
Q. What sort of message does this send out to young girls- and for that matter, young boys too?
A. That young girls matter less than young boys. Even stabbed young girls.

We’re teenage girls fighting to ban the use of school uniform in porn. Why have you left it up to us?
No one should have to feel nervous about walking to school in clothes designed for children. It’s time for law to end the sexualisation of minors

Menopause isn't just mood swings and hot flushes.
So why are too many women not aware of the breadth of signs and symptoms?
If we know what to look for, we can join the dots and seek help much sooner.

While everything is blowing up about the proposed BBC licence fee changes, there's been a really interesting piece of research published this week about misperceptions about crime.
The really fun bits are that people who read print newspapers, watch TV news and listen to the radio are most likely to get things wrong. Similarly people who use Facebook, TikTok and those who don't use social media are more likely to get things wrong.
Those who use @X , Reddit and LinkedIn fare much better.

Urban foxes in the UK appear to be self-domesticating, much like wild cats did 12,000 years ago.

I regularly 🫵🏼at this beast when it reaches out to swipe me as I walk past the back of the sofa. I often accompany it with a sharp "ah-ah" or "no".
It doesn't work.
I still do it.
He still swipes me.
It's not sign language, it's what worked on my children when they were toddlers.
It doesn't work on cats.
They really do think it's all in our heads.
Cambridge University study showing men with autoimmune conditions receive diagnoses in an average of 3 months while women wait 2 years.
The study of over 6,600 participants found women 46% more likely to get psychiatric misdiagnoses and 74% more likely to be told symptoms are psychosomatic, after adjusting for key variables.
Researchers link the delays to longstanding medical biases that view women's symptom reports as less credible or overly emotional, leading to quicker psychological explanations instead of thorough investigation.
On average men were diagnosed in 3 months. Women in 2 years.
Women's auto-immune diseases aren't trickier.
But doctors afford women less epistemological authority.
Women are simply considered less trustworthy, even, especially, about themselves.

The author of this piece is right.
Grown men do not need cosseting. In any discussion about sexual advances towards young girls it should be made completely apparent that it is wrong, will not be tolerated and no blame should be attached to the child.
Girls going through puberty have enough on their plate without being called “deceptive” for growing up.
It is high time for girls to be free of creepy men viewing them sexually.
A Scottish charity has told migrants not to be ‘deceived’ by the appearance of young girls. This is outrageous. Girls are not ‘deceiving’ anyone – they are growing up normally. Men who need to be told this should not be in the country, says James Dixon

Ooh Auntie Beeb needs to save 100s of millions and get rid of countless quality journalists (as well as 100s of lesser quality) just so they can judge women on whether they paint their nails or not.
Oh and berate those who don't because it's classist and racist.

What’s the point of this, @yougov? The “unwillingness” of women to “date” (also, what’s with prudish euphemism?) *any* subset of men is not a matter for polling companies to present as an issue needing attention. Away with the emotional blackmail. No means no. The end.
