According to biological consensus, all human embryos, regardless of their eventual sex, initially develop with female characteristics, meaning in essence, we can say that "we are all female at conception" because the default developmental pathway in an embryo is female unless the presence of a Y chromosome triggers male developmen

If child safety and protection is a bandwagon, I’m proud to jump right on it.

Egypt Prepares for Military Action Against Houthis in Yemen Egypt is ramping up preparations for airstrikes against the Iran-backed Houthi militia in Yemen, citing threats to international shipping and economic losses, including $7 billion in revenue from the Suez Canal. Israeli analyst Yehoshua Mery Lichter, as reported by Boyko Nikolov on BulgarianMilitary.com, noted signs of a looming escalation, with Egypt mobilizing its Rafale and F-16 fighter jets and conducting training exercises in the Libyan desert. Yemeni and Israeli sources highlight growing pressure on Cairo to counter Houthi aggression, which has intensified in the region. Egypt cites its national security interests and international law as justifications for intervention, emphasizing the critical importance of safeguarding the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and surrounding waterways. As the conflict continues, Egypt’s air power may play a decisive role in stabilizing the region.

I had a conversation last night about the New Orleans terror attack with a friend who’s a big Trump supporter. I asked her if she thought it was wrong that Trump came out right away and blamed “illegals” before he knew any of the facts. She said no because Trump has great gut instincts. I then asked her if it would have been wrong if Biden came out right away and blamed white supremacists before he knew any of the facts. She said yes because Biden doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

One of my personal rules is to never utter anything on social media that I couldn't say in real life. Minimum level of accountability if I consider myself to be someone who can lead others. No excuses.

Large families generate personality types that are increasingly absent from the world with the disappearance of large families -- super responsible eldest siblings who raise younger children; youngest children largely insulated from parental influence; a combination of the security that comes from being part of a large brood and selflessness that comes experiencing no solitude all of one's formative years. These personality types play crucial societal functions that have fallen into abeyance.

In seriousness I hope that in 2025 we can see a revival of a feminism worth the name—one committed to the eradication of rape, sexual harassment, abortion bans, domestic violence, femicide, and all the other violence and indignity imposed on women because they are women.

hate to be the woke bloke but just to point out that whilst everyone is applauding the energy of 69-year-old geezer Angus Young still rocking a looooot of people are also mocking and pillorying 66-year-old Madonna’s latest appearance on tour… feels like a double-standard here .

.@Matthew_Wright is a brilliant broadcaster. So why does he keep making such sloppy mix ups between Israel and Jews? And why does @LBC allow it? A thread... 1) "Jewish figures" from the Gaza war

It just shouldn't need saying that acknowledging female physical vulnerability / difference (where it matters) is completely different to defining women as physically inferior, inherently feminine or eternal victims. >

Every lever that was pulled in order to end South Africa's race apartheid should be brought to bear against Afghanistan's sex apartheid.
