    Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a writer who's quite gender critical and feminist. But it turns out in this interview that she used a surrogate mother for her twins. Doesn't she have a clue that it's exploitation of women? I'm so disappointed. @SurrogConcern archive.md/CQZ2o

    Mijn bezoekje aan Utrecht maakte me weer eens duidelijk dat ik in de woke, gedigitaliseerde, meer en meer geïslamiseerde 21ste eeuw leef. Kort 🧵

    That's so interesting and fascinating. She's in favour of something that clearly doesn't benefit her.

    It's the perfect illustration of this meme, isn't it?

    And I don't have lipstick, so I went with the clothes (even though the sweater is really itchy!). Beneath the 'Let Women Speak NL' it says, translated: 'Naming/mentioning reality is no hate.'

    My oldest daughter was very scared of the Irish performance, and I can't blame her. I think Eurovision is getting less and less suitable for children, especially with all the sexualised/pornified women on stage. It's a real pity because some of them are great singers.

    Dus er lopen en rijden verkrachters rond in Leiden maar het Leidsch Dagblad opent de tweet met het feit dat sommige slachtoffers gedronken hebben. En dát, beste mensen, is nou misogynie.
    Meiden zijn vaak onder invloed als ze worden lastiggevallen. Mannen zien kwetsbare Leidse studentes als makkelijke prooi #leidschdagblad ⬇️ leidschdagblad.nl/cnt/dmf2024030…

    Vervolgens werd de ingang van Hoog Catharijne deels geblokkeerd door een man die daar heel demonstratief naar Mekka zat te bidden. Ook zoiets dat je tien jaar geleden niet zag. Waarom wordt zo'n vent niet gearresteerd voor verstoring vd openbare orde?

    I don't do competitive sports, but I recognise the feelings of hopelessness. This Tuesday and Wednesday the new transgender-law will almost certainly pass in Dutch parliament. No woman will ever have a single sex safe space here anymore. It's just beyond imagination.

    Maria Mutola, the most successful 'female' (yeah, and my piano is a trumpet) 800m specialist ever, was 'just one' athlete too... Women's sports is being ruined by men pretending to be women for many years now.

    Today I wore a Handmaiden's Tale costume for the protest against the German self-ID law. After one and a half hour I was able to remove it. I felt so emotional in the knowledge that Afghan women can't do that without serious repercussions... This day moved me enormously.
    Where even the eye visor has become too provocative, and requires a hood to cover it. Do the men never consider what it implies about them?

    You know, if you were consistent in this I might swallow. But you're not. And that is one of the big problems of this 'look at how inclusive we are' - it's only aimed at women. Hardly ever at men.
