Why Misogyny Should Be Criminalised Like Other Forms of Discrimination
Modern democratic societies already recognise an important principle: some forms of discrimination and hate are so harmful that they require legal boundaries, not just social disapproval.

How Do We Stop the Weaponising of Language Against Women?
Quick takeaway: Terms like home wrecker, slut, gold digger, Karen, or monster-in-law aren’t neutral — they shift blame onto women while excusing men, judging who women are rather than what they did.

What is the Patriarchy?
Quick takeaway: Patriarchy is not an attitude or an insult — it is a system built by men, for men, that positioned male experience as the default and male power as normal. Even where laws have changed, the structures, networks, and expectations it created still shape who is heard, rewarded, and protected. It persists not…
Why do Men Offer to Buy Women drinks?
Space A man buys a woman a drink and, almost automatically, there’s an unspoken assumption that something is now owed in return — a conversation, attention, gratitude, time, or sometimes more. On the surface, it’s framed as a harmless gesture: a bit of flirtation, a polite social custom. It’s presented as a friendly, socially accepted…
