Why is the onus placed on women to be cautious and take action to prevent rape and sexual assault? Time to tell the rapists not to rape. Brilliant messaging in Scotland from

It is impossible to overstate the impact of Ruth Bader Ginsburg on American society. As a fierce and effective advocate for inclusion and equality, she made it happen, she was the difference. An icon and an inspiration.

My heart is broken for Aishling Murphy and her family. Aishling and all victims of violence against women are the reason my twitter feed is filled with anguished calls for this to end. Filled with angry voices and shared experiences of abuse and violence. This has to end. 💔🕯
