Nearly one in 10 children aged eight to 14 have watched online pornography, according to the UK’s communications watchdog, as most adult content providers gear up to adopt stronger age checks ahead of a 25 July deadline.
Ofcom published research showing that 8% of children aged eight to 14 in the UK had visited an online pornography site or app over a month-long period. Boys aged 13 to 14 were the most likely viewers, with two out of 10 visiting adult sites. Continue reading...

I’ve got an X account and a Bluesky account. I’m kind of “gender critical”, women’s rights etc.
Bluesky feeds me with thoughtful content and news.
X gives me rabid racists, conspiracy theorists and Trump (despite me being English). It really is a cesspit.

Important thread. Faith schools not only fail to equalise prospects for all children, but foster in-group/out-group feelings (racism).
All children should be welcome/mixing at all schools, regardless of their parents’ religion.
All children should be welcome/mixing at all schools, regardless of their parents’ religion.
Despite repeated warnings and mounting evidence, these 'schools' – many of them faith schools – continue to operate. They place children at serious risk, with documented cases of abuse and a persistent failure to deliver even the most basic education. 🧵

If men don’t want to be accused of #rape, they need to be more responsible. Stay away from women, parties, dark alleyways. Avoid having too much to drink in case they need to be a reliable witness.
If they don’t follow these precautions, they’re asking to be accused really, aren’t they? 😏

The best way to make employment more fair for both sexes is to give male parents proper paternity leave entitlement (six months, say). If we make men as unappealing to hire as women, we’ll be more equal, I reckon.

People are outraged that Sandie Peggie compared Beth Upton to Isla Bryson.
I don’t understand the outrage. Literally, if Upton’s desires were made lawful, Isla Bryson can also pop into the women’s changing facilities, and see women naked.

Now I’m worried I’m a secret transphobe. One could seriously overthink this.
Basically, my position is: I don’t have any problem with people wanting to present as opposite sex as long as women aren’t:
a) forced to accept fully-male-bodied, female-partner-preferenced people to see them undressed.
