I was 12 when the Whitlam government was elected, and not aware of all of this stuff. But “I am Woman” was released that year, and I’m not sure that any song has ever impacted me so strongly. I hadn’t realised that so many of the Whitlam government’s reforms were straight from WEL.

“Women’s Studies” was one of my majors in the 90s, but by then the “f -word” was disappointingly out of vogue.

Missouri house passes amendment re-establishing abortion ban

In addition to the abortion language, the proposed amendment also would place in the constitution a ban on transgender youth accessing gender-affirming health care.

While #Trump is illegally ignoring Supreme Court decisions in order to advance his #fascist agenda, #PierrePoilievre, as Prime Minister, would seek to use, for the first time ever by the federal government, the Canadian Constitution's #NotwithstandingClause in order to end what he calls "#WokeCulture" in the #PublicService and in the #military.

But he denies being a "mini-Trump"

An emboldened anti-abortion faction wants women who have abortions to face criminal charges

“I’m pretty sure they protest me more than they protest Planned Parenthood,” Hawkins said. “Believe it or not, I now know the price of a bomb dog.”

#Trump administration refers #Maine to #DOJ over #TransgenderAthletes

by Brooke Migdon - 04/11/25

"The Department of Education on Friday referred a #TitleIX investigation into Maine schools to the #JusticeDepartment after the state failed to reach a resolution with the Trump administration over a finding that it violated federal anti-discrimination law by allowing transgender students to participate in girls’ sports.

" 'The Department has given Maine every opportunity to come into compliance with Title IX, but the state’s leaders have stubbornly refused to do so, choosing instead to prioritize an extremist ideological agenda [sic] over their students’ safety, privacy, and dignity,' said Craig Trainor, acting assistant Education secretary for [WHAT A JOKE] civil rights.

"The Education Department in its announcement said it will also initiate administrative proceedings to determine whether to terminate federal #K12 education funding for Maine’s state education department, including formula and discretionary grants.

"'The Maine Department of Education will now have to defend its discriminatory practices before a Department administrative law judge and in a federal court against the Justice Department,' Trainor said. 'Governor [Janet] Mills would have done well to adhere to the wisdom embedded in the old idiom — be careful what you wish for. Now she will see the Trump Administration in court.'

"Both the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which recently began investigating schools and states that allow transgender athletes to compete in girls’ sports, said in March that Maine had violated Title IX, the federal civil rights law against sex discrimination that the Trump White House says prohibits trans athletes from competing on girls’ and women’s teams."
