Had the best discussion of the Testaments at @WMN_online Feminist Book Club last night at @NeighbourhoodBk. This is a very easy book and topic to discuss due to its relevance to the real world - nothing that happens in Gilead hadn't happened in real life. #underhiseye #wmnfbc

Leunig has written a piece about the backlash to his recent cartoon and which will no doubt help smooth things over. smh.com.au/lifestyle/life-an… via @smh
Aiming to stir the possum, I got engulfed in free-floating hate

Aiming to stir the possum, I got engulfed in free-floating hate

I have noticed people can react to a cartoon as if it is a piece of legislation, an essay, a legal document or a scientific paper. It is none of these things.

Delighted to see this @MAMAVA pod recently travelling through @BostonLogan - the first mobile nursing/pumping pod I've seen like this at an airport! There are over 900 of these in the US - ideas for #Australia? @oneroofco @sheeo_world @Wade_Institute Cc: @kanarinka @jojomaia

Absolutely incredible to watch this @jacindaardern video be pinged around the world. In the last 48 hours, it's seemingly gone everywhere from the UK to Pakistan, and has even gone viral in Lebanon - becoming another tool for protestors to push for change

It’s great the book encourages us to get to know our anger, and channel it #wmnfbc
1
If we keep feeling ashamed of our anger, we will be more isolated #wmnfbc
2
There wasn’t so much a call to action at the end, as opposed to reframing anger as a positive thing #wmnfbc
1
How important is your shared community or network to share your anger? #wmnfbc

Women leaders have to be tougher and less emotional #wmnfbc
1
Did the book make you angry? Y E S ! #wmnfbc
2
It’s so hard for women to express their anger. Men who are angry are powerful. Women who are angry are out of control #wmnfbc
1
Women are angry. Marginalized women are angrier. They have been socialized to speak up #wmnfbc
2
What is it about the current cultural moment that has led to many books about women’s anger being written recently? #wmnfbc

The parts everyone remembers most are the personal stories about the authors family #wmnfbc

Took a while to get into the book as it was research heavy. Lots of studies referenced and pushed through parts of this #wmnfbc
