    This morning, Mum suddenly grabbed my hand as we watched the news on #GiselePelicot & said: "We teach you girls to be so vigilant, to always stay alert, every minute of the day. But now what? How are we supposed to protect you while you're sleeping too?" And it has broken me.

    Just in case any teachers were in any doubt of the impact they have on all the little ones they steer... Gone. I'm gone... #Adele30

    Just read the impact statement from Sarah's mother...And I can't... Just know EVERYONE needs to read it. Most especially every man, every agency, every politician who has demeaned, mocked, belittled & failed us. Signing off to go pray my heart out for #saraheverard once more...🌠

    Today, she did it. Despite the burden of global infamy, she did it. Despite the insulting sentences meted out to the 51 rapists today, she did it. She exposed the "normal", "family man" facades and the ridiculous lies too many rapists hide behind. She won. #MerciGisèle

    HE got to change in those changing rooms as a man. HE got to take the crown without conforming to the excruciating standards of physique women have to. HE got to take a woman's scholarship prize too. The message to men is loud & clear: TAKE. IT. ALL.

    This is one of THE most important legal cases in the UK/world right now. It will impact women's & girls lives EVERYWHERE. But where are @BBCNews @itvnews @SkyNews right now? Busy giving a women's sports award to a man. Can't make it up. Didn't need to. #WeKnowWhatAWomanIs

    This #VEDay & every VE day, I remember the millions of Sikh, Muslim & Hindu men & women who died for our freedoms too. The ones whose faces are still rarely in our history books. The ones who are rarely thanked or mourned. The ones whose names never even made it. #LestWeForget

    Am sick to the back teeth of seeing @BBCNews @itvnews etc interview MALES having tantrums over biological FACTS. HOW ABOUT...OH!I dunno. Interviewing WOMEN who lost their awards, jobs & spaces? Rape survivors forced to refer to RAPISTS as "SHE" in court? Detransitioners? FGS.

    This photo of @jk_rowling, @BluskyeAllison & @suzanne_moore is IT. Because this is what women the world over DO. They take every pain & hate & injustice thrown at them, & turn it into laughter & joy & hugs in the company of other women. There's no other space quite like it. ⚡

    I've seen French men setting fire to tyres because petrol prices went up by a few €s. Yet +NINETY French men sign up to rape an unconscious woman and...?? The polite disbelief is jarring. France should be on fire with rage right now. We all know why it isn’t. #giselepelicot

    Replying to @helenlewis
    The fact that Dominique Pelicot allegedly found more than 90 men in his local area who were willing to do this is just bleak beyond words. This is the queue for the defendants to be admitted to court:

    Me:Mum, what would you like to do today? Mum:Go for a walk. Me:How come? Mum:For Sarah. I want to go & walk for her & your aunt Ruma & just all of them. Me:Shall we go to the park? Mum:No. Let's just walk the streets. #MothersDay2021 #MothersRemembered #ReclaimTheseStreets

    NO MUSLIM, JEWISH, SIKH, BUDDHIST, CHRISTIAN et al woman or child could use this facility. NO FEMALE SURVIVOR OF RAPE, SEXUAL VIOLENCE, OR DA could use this facility. NO WOMAN OR CHILD should be EXPECTED to use this facility. This is not inclusion. It's eradication.
