LONDON (Sputnik) – Around two dozen topless women have locked themselves to the iron fences surrounding the UK Parliament building on Thursday as part of a protest by environmental movement Extinction Rebellion (XR) to request an immediate response to climate change. Images posted on XR London’s Twitter account show the activists locked by their necks with bike locks to the railings, with many others seated in front of them, behind a banner reading: “can’t bear the truth?” “Rebels are currently blocking the gates of Parliament to demand: 1. That this government take the climate & ecological emergency seriously 2. The media […]

Last weekend, up to 1,000 protesters, most of whom were women, gathered in the centre of the Belarusian capital to protest against police violence during the initial days of anti-government rallies across the country. Up to 4,000 women have reportedly gathered on Saturday in Minsk, the capital of Belarus, to hold a protest against police brutality called the “Women’s Peace March”. The activists are carrying red and white flags, the same as the official state flag in 1991-1995, as well as the banners of other states to show their appreciation for all the support for Belarus. Many of the women have […]

Russian drift series star Ekaterina Naboychenko has admitted that she struggled with “anger” and “rejection” as she got used to being the lone female racer in the championship, adding that she faces a tougher challenge than men. Naboychenko indulged her childhood passion for adrenaline when she joined a drifter in their car around the streets as a 16-year-old, buying a Nissan Skyline of her own when she was 21 and surviving three failed qualifying stages when she took part in her first full race with the championship in 2017. She is hugely popular with fans, providing insights into her life on and […]
President Donald Trump tore into Kamala Harris during a New Hampshire campaign rally on Friday night where he deployed his favorite 2016 talking points before hurling insults at his opponents and suggesting the California senator is not the kind of woman who should make history as the first female president. That honor should be reserved for his own daughter, Ivanka Trump, he said. “I want to see the first woman president also, but I don’t want to see the first woman president get into the position the way [Harris] would do it, and she’s not competent, she’s not competent,” he said, […]
Prominent Russian figure skater Oleg Ovsyannikov has spoken in favor of a widely-discussed initiative to change the age limit in women’s skating, suggesting that 15-year-old girls spend two more years at junior level. The Olympic silver medalist, who also won two world titles together with his partner Anzhelika Krylova, said that women’s skating should not be converted into a competition between kids who are allowed to enter senior events from the age of 15.

Thirty-six years after Geraldine Ferraro became the first woman named to a major party ticket, we have a chance as a country to get it right, not just the outcome but the process itself. California Senator Kamala Harris is not a surprise out-of-the-box pick like Ferraro, a congresswoman from Queens. And there’s no expectation that it’s all on her—the way it was for Ferraro—to shake up the campaign and bring Joe Biden across the finish line. The former vice president is doing fine in the polls, thank you. Harris is an added benefit, not the Hail Mary pass Ferraro was when […]
Seattle police chief Carmen Best has announced her resignation following a city vote to slash law enforcement budgets, including her own salary. Best, who was on the force for 28 years, described the cuts as “punitive.” Seattle’s city council approved legislation to enact significant cuts in a 7-1 vote on Monday, which will eliminate some $4 million from the police department’s $400 million yearly budget, including a sizable reduction of $800,000 to the PD’s recruitment spending. Among other measures, the 2020 budget package will also cap Best’s salary at $275,000, reduced from $294,000. Chief Best has been vocal in her opposition […]

India’s tinsel town Mumbai has begun rolling out female figures on lights to indicate traffic signals in the city. Until now, the light glowed as a male figurine.

As putting together sensational reports citing unnamed sources seemingly becomes a trend for mainstream media, CNN described the insane way the US president conducted his phone talks. Donald Trump has reportedly bullied and demeaned leaders of the US’ major allies such as the UK, Germany, France, and Canada, according to CNN revelations based on testimonies from White House and intelligence sources “intimately familiar with the contents of the conversations.” Reported by Carl Bernstein, a Washington Post journalist during the Watergate scandal, the CNN piece alleges that Trump’s “near-sadistic” and “most vicious attacks” were directed at the former UK Prime Minister Theresa […]

Virginia state Sen. Jennifer McClellan announced on Thursday that she will run for governor in 2021, becoming the latest candidate to join the Democratic primary well over a year before the election, with a focus on combating racial injustice. “We’re at a critical moment in Virginia where we have to recover from four crises happening at the same time: a health pandemic, an economic crisis, a reckoning with racial injustice, and a growing lack of faith in people in government’s ability to solve problems,” McClellan told The Daily Beast in an interview ahead of her announcement. McClellan, 47, is hoping to […]
Protester Italia Marie Kelly was shot and killed in the Davenport, Iowa, late Sunday night/early Monday morning as the protest she was attending was winding down.

“June June Hannah.” It shouldn’t be that funny. It shouldn’t be anything, really. On the Bravo reality series Below Deck: Mediterranean, chief steward Hannah Ferrier was just doing her job, attempting to get third steward June Foster’s attention through the crew’s radio system. For reasons that escaped Ferrier, escaped Captain Sandy Yawn, escaped viewers, and escaped all logical reason, Foster never had her radio with her. Hannah was calling for June into the void. The result was an increasingly irate Ferrier chirping in her Australian accent “June, June? Hannah” ad nauseum and to literal radio silence, all edited together masterfully into […]
An unidentified NFL player is aiming to “shine a light on assaults made on men” as part of a lawsuit alleging that an intoxicated female flyer who was taking prescription pills made “unwanted sexual advances” on a red-eye flight. The footballer, who has only been described as an African American alongside his fellow complainant, has claimed that a “middle-aged Caucasian female” continued her advances despite four complaints to staff, telling the player he looked “frightening” in a mask worn to protect against COVID-19 infection, according to the lawsuit. Pursuing a jury trial, the papers said that the woman, who was intoxicated […]
When we think of the ‘apostles’ we usually think of the main twelve followers of Jesus who accompanied him during his ministry in the Holy Land. You might also mention St. Paul, who became a follower of Jesus after a vision on the road to Damascus and is known as an ‘apostle’ or, more specifically, ‘the apostle to the Gentiles.’ What all of these people have in common is that they were men. The gender selectivity of Jesus’s chief followers is, to this day, the basis for all-male clergy in many Christian denominations. And yet the Bible does call one woman—Junia—not […]
