I imagine it was. Her story is heartbreaking and I hope it makes us all stop minding our own business

Like Caroline Darian, the Epstein investigations continue to prove how children are the "forgotten victim". Is with the cognitive capacity of the child to collect evidence? That is why they depend on the parents to protect an provide.

The thing is, the way the male ruled publishing and filming industry marketed it groomed us women into romanticising abuse.

That’s the consequence of their greed. Was it intentional? Maybe they were never that clever, but what are we going to do about the consequences?

the technocrats have groomed us into loneliness by digitising fake intimacy, then harvested our human condition with the cognitive empathy skills of a psychopath, weaponised it, only to monetise to a humanity they cannot comprehend that will further be enslaved to them.

I’m ready to admit it – Wuthering Heights is an awful, awful book β€” The Independent With a new big-budget film adaptation hitting our screens, the classic 19th-century novel is all anyone can talk about. It’s a shame, then, that it’s such an uncompromisingly terrible read, argues Hel...

This article has forced the question: did Emily BrontΓ« intend for Wuthering Heights to be read as a romance? Or was she warning women of the lovebombing stage in abusive men’s seduction?

I do feel sorry for psychiatrist Dr Alok Kanojia. While he continuously side-stepped that damning question, the world only saw the snippets he’ll forever be associated with Bartlett.

I've been on Steven Bartlett's podcast. This is why it makes me worried for women β€” The i Paper Having a podcast with a large listenership is a responsibility

Finally a decent response to this guy and the debacle: it has always been a problem of intimacy

I have sneaking suspicion there was patternising help in the newest season script of death in paradise. Unlike all other season and episodes, it didn’t work. The motivation for the murder was contrived. And there was something missing in the solving of it

It’s the wife not the mother. The wife has a history of controlling her men. Ask the β€˜crazy’ ex’s mother. #beckhams

In 1943, the Norwegian author Knut Hamsun travelled to Germany and met with Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. After returning to Norway, he sent his Nobel medal to Goebbels as a gesture of thanks for the meeting. Goebbels was honoured by the gift.

He is going to take it and he’s going to do just what he was always going to do. Just you watch. That prize means so much more to her than it does to him.

Where We Begin A psychologist’s sanctuary for trauma recovery, sleep science, and the journey back to your authentic self. Liminal prose on healing from control.

In my work, I see a universal truth: the journey out of control is, first and foremost, a journey back to the body. And the body’s most sacred, non-negotiable ground is #sleep. #trauma #booksky

The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.
