It's always a defeat when a university closes doors to students+staff. We decided the best answer was to keep learning& dialoguing. It takes time/patience/empathy/hard work but THIS is how we grow as a learning community. We won't stand shushed, we won't quiet down

… rules at

airport say to travel with mum’s milk mum must have baby with her. These rules are utterly
#sexist
because they say a) mum must be with baby at all times. b) mum cannot have a career. c) daddy is useless since it is unheard of that they can take care of baby…
it would be wonderful if public speakers, esp if women themselves, would stop referring to their mum as the paradigmatic unskilled/dumb user...
