And so the Metropolitan Police have been at it again; menacing & arresting a women for a Facebook post 'red flagging' her ex-partner, who (well, here's a surprise) was a serving police officer.

And then after he failed to get a civil order against her for molestation, the police conducted their own investigation into the officers' conduct (him & his mates) and found no case to answer...

And the police wonder why we don't trust them?

A dark ripple where women are deprived of livelihood and their identity. After the Taliban rule, girls and women have finally disappeared from Afghan society. The year is 2025.

Never let us stop talking about it. Let us be the voice of all those women who can’t speak right now.

Turns out, even robots think #women should make 83% of men’s salaries. A new study found that #AI often advises women and minorities to ask for lower #salaries than men. It’s the last thing we need, considering women still make less than men, and women leaders face more than 30 types of workplace #bias. Yet, as more and more companies rely on AI for recruiting, studies like this suggest those biases will go more unchecked.

"Don’t talk about men,” the older sister says when asked about the role men have played in Kartong’s development.

“Men are just a hindrance,” she says. “They are the definition of driving a vehicle backwards. When I stand here, they will all say that the owner of the creek is back. That is who I am.”

#Bruxelles

Des millions d'embryons fécondés in-vitro congelés depuis 1994 aux #usa mais l'IVG y est interdit. Des milliers de boîtes de contraceptifs provenant des usa vouées à être brûlées en France. Le but? Protéger la vie? Oh non, ni même devant Dieu, il s'agit de contrôler la #femme par sa matrice, l'empêcher d'être en toute #liberté et surtout l'occuper ainsi elle ne peut agir dans la sphère publique.

Trump is killing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives across the United States. Theoretically, that means he doesn't want women or people of color to have jobs. Without jobs people will have to leave the country to find a way to sustain themselves.

So what are Trump and his sycophants going to do when all the women leave the country?

Enquiring minds want to know!

After weeks of research, I've landed on a French designer handbag from Hexagona (French) in 'marron fauve' (dark brown).

I'm incredibly pleased with it, while on the cheaper side of designer handbags, it certainly doesn't feel like that. It oozes premium feeling, leathers superb quality (and so is the stitch work).

Love the variety of pockets and surprising amount of storage they provide. Wanted to make a bigger post, because it's an EU alternative to the low-end of designer handbags 👛 :ms_two_hearts:
