There is no binary between sickness and health

We are never far away from abuse and ostracism

Pink heels won’t save women

Young people are the victims of adult double standards

The ridiculing of women’s bodies is a barrier to their health and happiness 

His position in the gender wars is disingenuous

Anti-feminist aggression is exactly what it looks like

The anger of mothers is not being acknowledged or addressed

Stereotypes, not colours, are the problem
