What happened when I started a feminist society at school is a wonderfully written article documenting the troubles encountered by some humans trying to promote their equality with other humans #bookmark #feminism

One of the worst parts of this is the school blatantly victim-blaming:

As such, we will take steps to recommend students remove words or images that they place online that could compromise their safety or that of other students at the school.

Seeing as the activism was happening on the web, I read this as “give up, don’t offend the misogynists, they might hurt you”, which could hardly be called “support”. The pseudo-politicalese “take steps to recommend” is vague and and improvable.

Clearly such institutions cannot be trusted to support the fight for equality.
