#equalrights

Your reminder that here in Australia, disabled people who cannot work and are on benefits are not able to legally marry or have a de-facto relationship without their partner/spouse's income being used to determine whether or not the disabled person is entitled to keep their benefits. So often, a disabled person's benefit is cut drastically, and sometimes completely, leaving them completely dependent on their spouse/live-in partner, and stripping them of what little independence they may have left. "Equal rights for all" isn't true until a disabled person who is unable to work retains autonomy, and is not stripped of benefits if they choose to enter a legal marriage or defacto relationship. #disability #disabledlife #equalrights #disabledrights

Karl Popper's Paradox of Tolerance applies to RELIGION as much as it does to RACISM and FASCISM. You cannot believe in equal rights for all when your God prefers some people over others. #ReligionIsPoison #Atheism #Atheist #Secularism #EqualRights

Herman, in 'Trauma and Recovery', points out the rather fundamental problem. The thing researchers were trying to explain in those studies into abused women was men’s violence. Yet they were looking for the explanation in the characteristics of the women the men are violent towards. Men’s violence is men’s behaviour, and yet an enormous amount of effort has gone into trying to explain it by examining women. ♀️👀 3/13 #Feminism #EqualRights #SocialJustice #GenderEquality
