This isn’t the female gaze. This is the male gaze. It’s men who are obsessed with the physicality of other men. Women, in the main, would much rather see a man who looks like he’d make himself a stack of buttered toast and let you steal a slice

Notice how no one, not a single soul, has ever complained about the female gaze in entertainment.

🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location.
ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her.
This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.

Your taxes are helping to fund companies that sell arms to Israel. Attempts to stop this by the @scottishgreens.org have been blocked by the other parties in the Scottish Parliament.
This funding needs to end. Write to or meet with your MSPs. Tell them you do not support this. Take action.
