These guys who ask under every post about #IWD why "there is actually no Men's Day" ... I've blocked a few of them now. (Think twice if you want to become blocked, too.)

I'm ***so*** fed up with the steps backwards for us women after over a century of struggle. For such guys I have only one answer:

For #internationalwomensday I’m watching a movie with a strong woman. One of the first movies I remember seeing with a woman who wasn’t “just” a “mom”, or “girlfriend” or “love interest”. (Not that any of those things are”just” anything)

Which is ironic, because she literally just called herself “the mother of the future” in this scene.

But of course, she becomes much more than that, especially in subsequent movies.

Sarah Connor became more than a strong woman, she became the saviour of the human race by preparing her son for his responsibility. That’s a fairly high pedestal.

Also, Arnold’s animatronic double is ridiculous in this movie. But @Tree says the real Arnold has a nice bare bum.

Disabled women are more likely to experience abuse than their non disabled peers.

We’re often trapped with caregivers who treat us badly & lack the financial support to leave. We may also be physically dependent on the abuser for basic activities of daily living.

Many disability benefits are cut if you marry or cohabitate, which further enforces dependency.

For International Women’s Day help us fight for a universal basic income, better social and medical support and access so that we may regain as much autonomy as possible.

Happy International Women's Day

I wrote this a couple of years ago. Sharing again, as today is the day.

Did I forget to mention Kim Gordon?! Sonic Youth and solo stuff - another bass player vocalist, goddess. Totally out there and all in the best possible ways. I so loved this song. We can still be friends!

Gender backlash & misogyny are on the rise as well as hatred of diversity, equality and inclusion.
Genocidal wars and the dehumanisation of women in Gaza, Tigray etc have been normalised
So much progress seems to be undone but we need to continue with the struggle for equality, choice, agency , freedom and peace.

Happy International Women's Day. #iwd2025

Neneh Cherry, I hear you ask... Again, plenty of awesome material to choose from but I went forone I haven't heard for a while - a collab with Youssou N'Dour. Because it is power.

Suzie Quatro. Absolute legend. Bass, vocals, attitude to burn, what's not to love!

I should mention Joan Jett as another super influential woman in rock. Shades of Suzi Quattro, but with more strings!

This International Women’s Day, remember that women are disproportionately impacted by many chronic illnesses. We’re more likely to be abandoned by our spouse/partner when we become disabled, and mistreated/gaslit by the medical profession.

Women’s rights & disability rights are uniquely intertwined.

This International Women’s Day I’m saying Merci Gisele. Her unwavering commitment to ensuring rape & abuse victims know that the shame is NOT theirs has inspired countless women to come forward & share their own stories.

Abuse, neglect & medical misogyny are serious issues we must address #IWD2025
