Women attacked from left and right: the ash on the head of the New York Times

As the organ of the liberals and woke culture, the great US newspaper has been undertaking a vigorous change of course for a few months now, admitting its own excesses and the misogyny of the new progressive course committed to wiping out women. While waiting for the self-critical wind to blow in Europe too

Perhaps it makes sense that women - complacent and pleasant-looking creatures, selfless and so cute - were the ones that finally brought our polarised country together.
Why the extreme right and the extreme left have found the one thing they can agree on: women do not count.

The position of the right-wing is the best known; the movement has been aggressively dedicated to depriving women of basic rights for decades. Thanks also to two Supreme Court judges who have been credibly accused of abusive behaviour towards women, Roe v. Wade, which has been a target for almost 50 years, has been mercilessly overturned.
Much more disconcerting was the part of the left, who launched herself with her own agenda perhaps unintentionally but effectively misogynist. There was a time when campus groups and activist organisations strongly supported women. Women's rights were human rights and something to fight for. Although the Equal Rights Amendment was never ratified, legal scholars and advocacy groups spent years working to define women as a protected class.
Today, however a number of academics, super progressives, transgender activists, civil liberty organisations and medical organisations are working with the opposite objective: to deny women their humanity, reducing them to a mix of body parts and gender stereotypes.
As reported by my colleague Michael Powell, even the word 'woman' has become forbidden. Previously commonly used to refer to half the world's population, the word woman had a specific meaning related to genetics, biology, history, politics and culture. Not any more. Instead, heavy terms such as 'pregnant people', 'menstruators' and 'bodies with vaginas' are used.
Planned Parenthood, once a staunch defender of women's rights, omits the word 'woman' from its homepage. NARAL Pro-Choice America uses 'people giving birth' instead of 'women'. L'American Civil Liberties Uniona long-standing defender of women's rights, last month tweeted her outrage at the possible overturning Roe v. Wade as a threat to several groups: 'Black, indigenous and other people of colour, the Lgbtq community, immigrants, young people'.
He excluded naming the most threatened: women. 
This is a bitter way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Title IX (Title IX is the common name for those education amendments passed in 1972 in the United States, amendments that prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex in public education programmes, ed.)

Even America puts the brakes on hormones for 'trans' children
The first lawsuits are being filed in the USA by young people treated with puberty blockers and hormones who have seen their condition worsen. And the AAP -Association of American Paediatricians- announces the revision of its own guidelines, which to date have been favourable to these treatments. Meanwhile, research shows that so-called 'affirmative therapy' does not improve the situation of young people with dysphoria at all. On the contrary, they feel better when they discontinue it
Throughout the western world, the so-called gender affirmative therapy for minors (puberty blockers followed by cross-sex hormones and surgery) has long been the subject of heavy criticism by doctors and experts, even those who regret having prescribed it, who point out its dangerousness and ineffectiveness: some have said that in the future we will talk about it as one of the biggest scandals in the history of medicine, comparable to the use of lobotomy on 50,000 psychiatric patients in the middle of the century [...].

Born of a surrogate mother
Olivia Maurel, 32, was born to a surrogate mother and today she is fighting on the front line against the practice, which she describes as 'atrocious' and 'monstrous'. She always knew something was wrong with her family. She suffers from depression, has had problems with alcoholism and has attempted suicide several times. Only recently has she discovered the truth about her origins and that she suffered the trauma of abandonment. "To no child," she says, "should what happened to me ever happen again."
Commercial or 'altruistic' surrogacy must be abolished. These are the words of Olivia Maurel, born in December 1991 in Kentucky by traditional surrogacy (i.e. in which the oocyte also belongs to the 'surrogate mother', ed.), who recounted her experience in a conference at the parliament of the Czech Republic. Today, married with two children in Cannes, 'proud to be a feminist' as we read on her X page, she fights against surrogacy. Her testimony, very valuable as there are still very few [...]

Israel 7 October: Appeal for recognition as mass feminicide
The women victims of the Hamas attack were not killed like all other civilians: they were exposed naked, raped, brutalised, humiliated, decapitated, their bodies burnt and torn to pieces. "We wanted to dirty them," say the terrorists. The violence against these women meets the definition of mass feminicide: from France a petition to international NGOs

British academics against cancel culture
On 20 November, the London Universities Council for Academic Freedom will be unveiled, a body that brings together a hundred or so professors from the major British universities with the intention of fighting against the censorship and single-mindedness that in recent years have impeded academic debate and freedom, compromising the education of thousands of students. In the crosshairs especially Lgbtq+ realities such as Stonewall that have heavily influenced university and higher education. About time, and go on!
As reported by The Telegraph, more than a hundred academics from the UK's top universities have joined forces to tackle the growing threat of cancel culture through the creation of a new body dedicated to academic freedom. In a pioneering initiative, the scholars have formed the 'London Universities Council for Academic Freedom', involving all academic institutions in the capital including University College London (UCL), King's College London, [...]

13 November in The Hague against surrogacy
The Private International Law Conference is pushing for transnational recognition of gestation per se contracts with the intention of forcing national legislation to benefit biomarket profits. The Icams coalition against GPA organised a demonstration in defence of women's dignity and against the market in girls and children
The International Coalition to Abolish Surrogacy (ICASM) organised an international demonstration in front of the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH) on 13 November to oppose the regulation of cross-border 'surrogacy'. Indeed, attempts are being made to impose international regulation of so-called 'surrogacy': as of 13 November, the HCCH will set up a working group with the task of drafting a convention to allow cross-border recognition of contracts. This is to meet the growing demand in the biomarket [...]
