Gynaecological health in academia: many are suffering in silence timeshighereducation.com/blo… My blog in the @timeshighered
This is something I've been reflecting on for the past few days. What are my male colleagues and friends saying to other men about men's violence?
We've seen the horrors of the Pelicot case, a rape chat group with 70k men, the alleged sexually hostile workplace on a film set.
Male commentators and colleagues share with women their disgust at these behaviours. Women know how banal and commonplace gender-based violence is. We don't need to hear it. We do need men to talk to each other about these cases and make it known this behaviour has to stop

Newlat need to return to negotiations and give our members the fair and decent pay rise that they deserve.

An important piece from @Lyd_Carolina which I was pleased to have the opportunity to contribute to
With diagnoses of #autism, #ADHD and other #neurodivergent conditions on the rise — due to increased awareness, and historic underdiagnosing in women — neuroinclusion isn’t a "nice to have" but a business (and moral) imperative. Mine for @YahooFinanceUK
