I'm with my son, buying more school trousers.

A girl near us has picked out a nice hoodie. Her dad says to her "that's a boys top, don't you want to choose a girl's top?"

Her mum responds "it looks unisex to me, she can have it if she wants it."

Dad channels his best talk radio dickhead voice and mutters "I suppose, I guess you can't say boys and girls any more." I swear he's partly addressing it to me. You had better believe I left him hanging.

Just another day in

I've met many men on the Internet who were openly misogynistic. These men are out there in the real world too. Chances are, you pass several of them every day without knowing. So you know I don’t want to hate men. I know there are good ones, I do see them. But most give me new reasons every day to keep distance and stay on guard. Sometimes it overwhelms me, weighs too heavily on me and i fear i can't stay strong without the world making me cruel

Female artists in who do not conform to the government's image of women are being targeted by the Turkish justice system. The girl band Manifest is being investigated for "indecent and immoral acts" and "exhibitionism."

Copied from Lancashire cricket's facebook page. The TV umpire was Sue Redfern (a very experienced and well respected umpire, who happens to be female). She did not find sufficient evidence to overturn the on-field decision of her (male) colleague. #cricket #EverydaySexism Text in alt-text as too long for post.

Screenshot of Lancashire Cricket facebook post "Following on from Finals Day Lancashire Cricket has formally expressed its disappointment to the ECB regarding the decision that led to the dismissal of Liam Livingstone. The Lancashire all-rounder was given out LBW for 29, following a review by the TV umpire. 

While the Club remains deeply frustrated and disappointed with the decision, Lancashire Cricket is equally clear that it does not condone the misogynistic comments that have appeared across social media in response. Such behaviour is unacceptable, does not reflect the value of our Club or the wider Red Roses family, and has no place in the game."

Theres an argument that ai in research removes bias. But having been trained on human produced data and by humans, it is biased; it cant not be (and anyway, it'd otherwise be just a different bias. No such thing as no bias). Here's an example of Meta's AI assuming a cute story about a parent is about a mother, adding 'more about the mom's story' and 'how do mothers balance work and family' to the post.

Reasons Not to Quit
I'm sitting in a coffeeshop working, watching this very old guy holding a total stranger's one-month-old baby. The parent was fumbling a bit, juggling the baby and their food, and the man at the next table offered to "take the baby for a minute if you need both hands."
The parent handed the baby over with a grateful oh that's so kind of you, I appreciate it and this man, who looks to be 90 if he's a minute, is sitting there holding a bleary-eyed baby with a look of absolute, total, unmixed joy on his face, sweet-talking that tiny little baby for all he's worth. The parent is eating their snack and drinking their coffee and a second or two ago they took a sip of coffee and a big deep breath, and their shoulders came down from around their ears and they looked at the guy holding their baby and just smiled. There's an awful lot of flaming hot horrible horseshit out there in the world but right here, right now, for a few minutes, a few humans are getting something important very right.

My husband and I are both directors of our business with equal ownership and both named as owners on the website yet here in the 21st century companies will still send us cold selling pitches addressed solely to Adam. And I send those emails straight to the bin

Boarded the plane. Had two men condescend to me in as many minutes. #everydaysexism

Being of the female persuasion and owning cats, I am aware of toxoplasmosis (it can cause miscarriage and fetal complications). Why do I get the feeling that a link to male fertility will suddenly get it a lot more funding and research? #EverydaySexism

OMFG an old man got chatting with us as we went into the library to complain that it's "run by women" and that's "sexist" and "puts men off coming in."

He swiftly left eventually when I mentioned that if he wanted there to be more men working there he could apply or volunteer.

Lovely lady came over just before we left to say I dealt with him very well.

The Truth About #Diddy Might Be Darker Than the Rumors

The conspiratorial guesswork distracts from the all-too-ordinary issues at the center of his case.

“…the speed & sheer giddiness with which conspiracist thinking eclipsed the known details of #Combs’s case confirmed a few bleak realities about the psyche of a country in which economic #inequality & #SexualAbuse are both stubbornly endemic.

I really wish the BBC sport app would display the live cricket scores & fixtures in a time of day order, or at least with the active games at the top of the page. Having to scroll down to find the in-play women's #VitalityBlast scores (past the men's games which haven't started yet) feels like a deliberate choice #cricket #BBC #EverydaySexism

B&Q can fuck right off. No hiding behind it being a third party item, they chose to stock that product and there will have been procedures in place that select which third party items to stock. It's at least one somebody's entire job to do so. Do better. independent.co.uk/news/uk/home I might need a new bathroom light (if I can't find a replacement for a broken shade). It now definitely won't be coming from B&Q. #EverydaySexism

So I started reading the #HorusHeresy novels.

Really enjoyed the first one, Horus Rising.

But the second, False Gods, is weird. It’s like it’s written by a horny teenager. Every woman who enters a scene gets a description of her clothes (always revealing) and her boobs.

I wasn’t expecting a 40K novel to pass the Bechdel test but this is just lame.

A young lass working in the village shop was chatting to a lad about her first #car, she didn't want a #Fiat500 as she feared being bullied on the roads. A sad indictment on #EverydaySexism as in #England these #cars are widely associated with young #female #drivers and its easier to get away with bad / aggressive #driving in the rural areas of #Suffolk where there are fewer police about..
