Us Mama & Papa bears, we’d take on a pack of angry wolves, in flames with knives for claws, to protect our kids from harm. Wouldn’t we? But what if the harm to our boys was less obvious? Socially accepted? What if the harm was...

Let’s start at the beginning. What the heck is Toxic Masculinity anyway?I was brave stupid enough to check the Urban Dictionary  for some informal definitions. Is it?:A term invented by man-hating fake feminists seeking to suppress men's biological traits.A healthy trait native to and suitable...

Instagram post 17882336602551892 Here in Barcelona, we're already two weeks into the COVID-19 lockdown and let me tell you, keeping little ones busy and active while we're all locked inside is (literally) no walk in the park.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ 😷⁠ .⁠ ⁠ ⁠ For families who don't have the budget or means to pick up an arsenal of supplies, toys, and tech to keep kids busy in quarantine, things can get even more stressful. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ .⁠ 😷⁠ ⁠ ⁠ The massive @popsugar has picked up another of my pieces about some of the regular household items that have been surprisingly keeping my boys busy and active while we are on lockdown.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ 😷⁠ .⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Check the link in my bio to see how your poufs, mop handles and old clothes may be the key to your family's mental health during the lockdown. ⁠ ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #feministfactclub #socialdistancing #socialdistancing2020 #socialdistance #selfquarantine #donttouchyourface #washyourhands #goawaycoronavirus #staysafeoutthere #stayinside #coronaquarantine #quarantinelife #quarantine2020 #quarantineandchill #quarantined #quarantine #coronaviruspandemic #stayinghome #stayingathome #coronatimes #stayhomeclub #stayindoors #coveryourmouth #stopthespread #washhands #washyourdamnhands #washyohands #coveryourcough #stayhomeifyouaresick #2019coronavirus ⁠ ⁠
Instagram post 17870274187634738 Being a parent on full lockdown with young kids is no joke!⁠ ⁠ 😣⁠ .⁠ .⁠ We have food and toilet paper but I don't know what we're going to do when we run out of crayons, paper, patience or hope! ⁠ ⁠ 😣⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ So the massive website @popsugar just picked up a piece I wrote about exactly that... All the things I wish I'd picked up before we went into full quarantine here in Barcelona. Things that might just save a family's mental health while we're in isolation. (link in bio)⁠ ⁠ ❤️⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ In the middle of all the toilet paper hysteria, if you're in a city where lockdown is imminent, I urge you to pick up or dig out some of these "nonessential" items if you can. From where I'm sitting here in quarantine, they might just help save your family's mental health. ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ Also, I hope you don't mind me saying... Holey Moley! Popsugar?!!?

Instagram post 17848078321986424 A slight switch from feminist facts to Coronavirus facts, because let’s face it, it’s hard to think of anything else right now! . 😷 (We’re on day 5 of the lock down here in Barcelona. Are you on lock down or just social distancing?) 😷 Understanding flattening the curve from @live_science “The faster the infection curve rises, the quicker the local health care system gets overloaded beyond its capacity to treat people. As we're seeing in Italy, more and more new patients may be forced to go without ICU beds, and more and more hospitals may run out of the basic supplies they need to respond to the outbreak. 😷 A flatter curve, on the other hand, assumes the same number of people ultimately get infected, but over a longer period of time. A slower infection rate means a less stressed health care system, fewer hospital visits on any given day and fewer sick people being turned away. 😷 For a simple metaphor, consider an office bathroom. it only had so many stalls. If everyone decides to go at the same time, there are problems. If the same number of people need to go to the restroom but spread over several hours, it's all ok." 😷 from @live_science and @livesciencehealth 😷 . . . . . . #feministfactclub #ighaiku #ighaiku #haikuwriter #socialdistancing #socialdistancing2020 #socialdistance #selfquarantine #donttouchyourface #goawaycoronavirus #stayinside #coronaquarantine #quarantinelife #quarantine2020 #quarantineandchill #quarantined #quarantine #coronaviruspandemic #stayinghome #stayingathome #coronatimes #stayindoors #coveryourmouth #stopthespread #washhands #washyourdamnhands #washyohands #coveryourcough #stayhomeifyouaresick #2019coronavirus #buttonpoetry
Instagram post 18098191876187274 Women’s History Month!! Today we’re talking about the legendary Sister Rosetta Tharpe!!! 🎶 . . “In the 1930s and ’40s, Sister Rosetta Tharpe was one of the first people to combine gospel music with melody-driven urban blues, traditional folk, and a unique pulsating swing style. 🎶 . . Today, Tharpe’s musical style is considered one of the first definite precursors of rock and roll. Many music legends, including Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Johnny Cash, and Chuck Berry were influenced by Tharpe’s unique musical style, yet somehow her name is often left out when people talk about the history of rock and roll” (from @yesmagazine_ ) 🎶 . . “Somehow”! Exactly! . . Well let’s be sure to say her name in Women’s History Month… for a starter. Let’s remember who the real legends were. . . . . #feminsitfactclub #womanshistorymonth #womensmovement #womenshistorymonth #womenshistorymonth2020 #womenshistory #womenunite #womensmonth #celebratingwomen #internationalwomensmonth #herstory #womensmovement #womensday #sheroes #womenleadership #equalitycantwait #feministmovement #seeher #seeher2020 #womeninventors #femaleinventors #womeninhistory #blackinventors #blackhistoryfact #equalforequal #happywomensmonth #happywomensday❤️ #womenpower💪#nationalwomensmonth #feministblog #feministblogger
Instagram post 17910316219416732 ⁠ ⁠ Over on @acalltomen they’re talking about physical distancing instead of social distancing.⁠ ⁠ I’m on board!⁠ ⁠ Like, who else’s whatsaap is inundated with memes, updates, helpful reources, video calls and messages? ⁠ ⁠ .⁠ ⁠ I think I’m having a more active social life under this lock-down than ever before! ⁠ ⁠ .⁠ If you’re looking for ways to connect with family and friends, here’s a few we’ve been using in the first five days of the lock-down in Barcelona:⁠ .⁠ ⁠ Kahoot quizzes from @getkahoot (A distance learning platform where you can create personalised and hilarious quizzes to share and compete with fam and friends)⁠ ⁠ .⁠ ⁠ ⁠ @google Hangouts has video calling for up to 15 people⁠ And if you’re super popular, Google Meets has video calls for up to 150 people! ⁠ .⁠ ⁠ ⁠ A low tech option - my twins and I painted uplifting happy signs to decorate the front of our house. Kids all around Barcelona are doing it (maybe all over Europe?). It’s for the other kids (and adults too) to look out and remember we’re all in this together!! ⁠ ⁠ .⁠ ⁠ ⁠ And finally a non-tech option - hang out the window and shout across to your neighbour! ⁠ We’ve been doing it everyday and I can definitely recommend it! ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ If you know of any more, pop them in the comments below⁠ ⁠ I've put the link to the World Health Organisation (@who ) latest updates in my bio.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ #feministfactclub #socialdistancing #socialdistancing2020 #socialdistance #selfquarantine #donttouchyourface #washyourhands #goawaycoronavirus #staysafeoutthere #stayinside #coronaquarantine #quarantinelife #quarantine2020 #quarantineandchill #quarantined #quarantine #coronaviruspandemic #stayinghome #stayingathome #coronatimes #stayhomeclub #stayindoors #coveryourmouth #stopthespread #washhands #washyourdamnhands #washyohands #coveryourcough #stayhomeifyouaresick #2019coronavirus ⁠

Instagram post 17846863777999761 We’re on coronavirus lock down here in Barcelona / Catalonia / Spain. It’s scary but we’re keeping our heads up! ✊🏻 . . It’s day four and already in our house there’s been blood, underpants on heads, so many lego towers, tears, and lots of cuddles. 🤪 . . We’re lucky there’s two of us adults here and we can both work from home. We’re taking shifts juggling work and our little twins (not literally) 🤓 . . Every evening at 8pm we open the windows and do a massive community round of applause for the amazing work of the health care workers. We wave across at our neighbours and talk about how messy our houses are with all the kids play (jeebus, so messy!) 👏🏻 . . We’ve set a routine. It definitely involves some Netflix. 🙌🏻 . . People are making rainbow signs to decorate the front of their houses so other kids can look out and see something fun and happy. (I’ll share ours in Stories once we hang ours up!) 🌈 . . It’s still scary and ominous and surreal that we’re all on lockdown. I’m trying to think of it like @mattdpearce said… by staying indoors and keeping safe “we’re sacrificing so we can give nurses doctors and hospitals a fighting chance” (via @womensrights_news ) . . That’s a much more empowering way to look at it!! 💪🏻 How is everyone doing? Locked in? Feeling scared? Got some ideas on how to get through this? Please do share!! . . .

Instagram post 17865356296721675 Lessons we can learn from the CoronaVirus:⁠ .⁠ .⁠ 👏🏻⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ 1: Our everyday actions can have a real impact on the world. Experts are telling us that simple decisions like staying away from large crowded events & washing our hands can help stop the virus globally. Transfer that to the rest of your life.You might feel like small everyday decisions don’t make much of a difference… but you’re wrong! ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ 👏🏻⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ 2: Health is more important than work. When we’re forced to make a decision over health and work… health always comes first. We should keep that in mind after the virus passes and try make healthy lifestyle choices (whenever we can) instead of running ourselves into the ground.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ 👏🏻⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ 3: We need to be mindful about where we get our news, and who benefits from mass hysteria. Why are people buying so much toilet paper? Why are people stocking up on masks that aren't effective for this pandemic? Panic! The media can manipulate us more than ever and there are evil people benefiting from that. Keep that in mind when reading about the next ‘wonder diet’ or wrinkle cream. They want you to panic, and spend your money needlessly!⁠ .⁠ .⁠ 👏🏻⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ 4: Working from home is a viable option for the wider economy!⁠ .⁠ .⁠ 👏🏻⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ 5: Health care professionals need better working conditions! ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ 👏🏻⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ 6: Trump is an idiot and doesn’t understand science (but then again we already knew that one)⁠ .⁠ .⁠ 👏🏻⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Take care folks. Keep calm and wash your hands! ⁠ (there's a link in my bio to the World Health Organisation for the latest expert news and advice)⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #fightthepatriarchy #smashpatriarchy #feminismisforeverybody #equalitycantwait #feminismquotes #feministquotes #feministmemes #feminismart #femmehood⁠ #patriarchysucks #beafeminist #feministmeme #stopsexism #feministpodcast #feministpodcaster⁠ #feminismisequality #fuckthepatriarchy #fuckpatriarchy #womenequality #malefeminist #feminismisforboys #toxicmasculinity #positivemasculinity #slaythepatriarchy #coronavirus #coronavirusitaliannews #feministmovement #feministblogger #feministparenting ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠
Instagram post 17847968989968732 Brilliant inventor Sarah Boone invented the modern day ironing board all the way back in in 1892. 🏆 #womenshistorymonth . . 👏🏻 . . You may not think of that as a technological advance but before her design, the existing ironing boards just sat on top of two pillars. It was virtually impossible to iron the frills and curves of women’s clothes with them. . . 🤨 . . Boone’s design, which is similar to modern day ironing boards, made it possible to iron the inside and outside seam of slim sleeves and the curved waist of women’s dresses! . . 👏🏻 . . The ‘lowly’ ironing board. Used to this day. Designed by a black woman. . 👏🏻 . . These days we think of technology as digital and male led. The ‘domestic’ arena is coded as female. That undermines all the great work of women who were inventors of domestic technology. They made modern day living easier, more efficient and more comfortable. They should be remembered and celebrated 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 . . . . . . . #feminsitfactclub #womansrights #feminismisforeverybody #womensmovement #womenshistorymonth2020 #IWD2020 #eachforequal #womensday2020 #womenshistory #womenunite #womensmonth #celebratingwomen #internationalwomensmonth #herstory #womensmovement #womensday #sheroes #womenleadership #tothegirls #equalitycantwait #genderequality #feministmovement #seeher #seeher2020 #womeninventors #femaleinventors #womeninhistory #inventors #blackinventors #blackhistoryfact

It dates back to colonial times. A ‘nasty’ woman is one who refuses to remain in her proper place, as defined by men. One who challenges male authority.” (Caroline Light, Harvard) . . 🤔 . . Kathleen Brown, a history professor at the University of Pennsylvania, explored the linguistic roots in her 1996 book ‘Good Wives, Nasty Wenches and Anxious Patriarchs’ “Colonial men, considered women who craved independence to be unnatural or dangerous. ‘Unsupervised wantons’ were known to members of a Virginia colony she studied as nasty wenches” (Adapted from the Washington Post) . . 😧 . .

Instagram post 17844982862009549 Amazing photos in by the @guardian of International Women’s Day protests from around the world. . ✊🏻🙌🏻💪🏻 . “Thousands of women and allies gathered in cities across the world 🌎 to protest for women’s rights and protection against violence. . ✊🏻 . Demonstrations were seen in over a dozen countries, from Pakistan to Chile. . ✊🏻 . For some, the risks of protesting were great. In many cities, women were often met with counter-protestors, sometimes in the form of riot police who used tear gas to disperse crowds. . ✊🏻 . No matter the risk, women showed up and demanded to be heard, showing the fight for rights will continue well past this day for women” @guardian . . . . . #feministfactclub #IWD2020 #internationalwomensday2020 #eachforequal #womensday2020 #WeRiseByLiftingOthers #womenshistorymonth #womenshistory #womenshistorymonth2020 #womensmarch2020 #womenunite #womensmonth #celebratingwomen #internationalwomensmonth #herstory #seeher #internationalwomensday #womensmovement #womensday #sheroes #womenleadership #womensmovement #tothegirls #equalitycantwait #genderequality #feminismisforeverybody. #feministblogger #feministmovement

Instagram post 18079448134168045 So international Women’s Day was amazing yesterday, but let’s get one thing straight. It was NOT a celebration of ‘lovely women’. It was a battle cry for human rights for half the freakin’ population! ✊🏻 . Read on for some truly staggering statistics to show just how far we still have to go!! (Thank you @carolinsolskar for sharing these Stats!) . . “🚺 33,000 girls become child brides every day . . 🚺 Women are 47% more likely to suffer severe injuries in car crashes because safety features are designed for men . . . 🚺 17 countries limit when and how women can travel outside the home . . . 🚺 62 million girls are denied an education all over the world . . . 🚺 American women serving in Iraq or Afghanistan are more likely to be raped by a comrade then killed by an enemy . . . 🚺It will take 108 years to close the gender gap . ✊🏻 So, don’t say congratulations. Because we’re not celebrating. If you want to say anything, say “I’ll join you in the fight for equality”.

International men’s day is on November 19th. Every year. 🤨 . Funnily enough though, google searches for Men’s day increase dramatically just around international women’s day!

Come join the fun over on @the_female_lead for International Women’s Day 2020 ✊🏻 “Ahead of International Women’s Day 2020, we are celebrating the women who came before, who stand beside us and who will come after us.

With so many amazing inspiring women in the world these days, I honestly found it tough to choose. Can’t we just nominate them all???? 🥰 . If you’re going to force me to name names though, well, how could it not be queen Lizzo?! Successful, talented, confident, funny, body confidence icon. Out there making money, winning awards and just being an all round legend.

Instagram post 17854715764830461 Welcome to ‘Taking Up Space’ a series featuring Fab Feminists from all around the world! (DM me if you’d like to be featured!) This week we have the fantastic Jitna from @shewillsurvivedotcoman. Jitna is an amazing advocate for survivors of gender based violence. Go ahead Jitna, take up some space! 1. Are you a feminist? Yes! I am all for gender-equality . 2. Do you hate men? (🤪) Of course not. I don't hate anyone. . 3. When did you start to call yourself a feminist? I've always been a feminist. I've always believed in equal rights for everyone. . 4. What part of the patriarchy are you trying to smash right now? I'm mentoring parents to talk to their children about sexual health, particularly in collective cultures where sex is considered taboo. When we don't teach our children about sex, they learn from porn or other harmful sources, and many of these sources set unrealistic expectations AND encourage and normalise sexual violence and ignore consent. . 5. What's the best feminist advice you've learned recently? There's always an underlying reason that someone is cruel. This comes in particularly handy when dealing with trolls or people who misunderstand what feminism is about + feel threatened by it. . 6. Who is your feminism for? For me. For my children. For every boy or girl who felt like they couldn't speak out about what happened to them. For anyone who is experiencing gender-based violence now + doesn't feel like they have a voice. . 7. What feminist book / insta account / music / whatever would you recommend to our fellow feminists? _We Should All Be Feminists_ by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is my favourite feminist manifesto, and follow my Instagram https://shewillsurvivedotcom for lots of gender-equality goodness . 8. What's the worst troll comment you've seen online / on your account? I run a website that supports survivors of gender-based violence. It's intended for survivors and doesn't discriminate or spread hate against anyone, but you always find messages from trolls... the worst ones are those who blame victims or who argue incessantly about why we don't deserve equality, who threaten (Contd in comments)

Instagram post 17927897419368442 New blog post!⁠ New Blog Post! The trolls! (trigger warning, brief mentions of physical and sexual violence and death by suicide)⁠ ⁠ ✊🏻⁠ ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Trolls, right? How do YOU deal with them??⁠ A few months ago I changed the name of this account from Mother of Snot to The FeministFactClub… and yep, I think the trolls got the memo.⁠ ⁠ ✊🏻⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Literally within a few short days they came crawling out of their little caves threatening sexual assault, rape, murder and to demand my own suicide. It was, predictably underwhelming.⁠ ⁠ ✊🏻⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ ⁠ This happens alllllll the time, especially to women and feminists online. So I reached out to some of those amazing people on the front line, to ask them how the fu*k they deal with the nonsense.⁠ ⁠ ✊🏻⁠ ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Check out the link in my bio for tips, strategies, statistics, percentages (there’s even a pie chart for crap’s sake!) and one ‘next level truly enlightened’ way to deal with trolls.⁠ ⁠ ✊🏻⁠ ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ ⁠ And thank you to all these fabulous people for sharing their wise wise ways of the internet.⁠ (In no particular order - they’re all fabulous, seriously, go check them out and follow the crap out of them. They are ace!)⁠ ⁠ ✊🏻⁠ ⁠ . @femislay⁠ @fiftyshadesofindianpatriarchy ⁠ @ladiesgetpaid⁠ @thefemininereclaimed @queer.brown.feminist⁠ @feministwarrior_⁠ @theultimatemomchallenge⁠ @handsomegirldesigns ⁠ @world.feminists⁠ @theoutrageonline⁠ @beafeministgirl⁠ @whatshesaid___ @thegirlslikeme⁠ @girllifeempowerment⁠ ⁠ ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ #feministfactclub #onlineharassment #toxicmasculinity #entitled #stopharassment #endsexualharassment #saynotoviolence #respecteveryone #respectothers #girlsafety #onlinesafety #cybersafety #internetsafety #saferinternet #harassment #genderinequality #yesallwomen #womensreality #rapecultureisreal #endrapeculture #everydaysexism #StopSexualHarassment #stoprapeculture #empoweredwomenempower #strongwomenlifteachotherup #strongwomenunite #strongwomenrule #sisterhoodovercompetition #womenunited #creatorsie ⁠
