If someone is happy to send this sort of opinion in a letter to The Times and The Sunday Times with their name attached *just* imagine what sort of things are said in theatre when there is less audience Ps. Terrible editorial decision to publish, Twitter pile on generated: completion ☑️

My god. Hilton doubling down in tomorrow’s The Times and The Sunday Times - calling sexual misconduct “trivial”. The fact he refers to women as “girls” speaks volumes.

Describes male doctors as men and female doctors as girls ✅ Language MATTERS. If I got £1 from everyone who had called out this man in his career, I doubt I would have enough to buy a flat white. He has been ALLOWED to think saying these things is ok. Call. It. Out.

It does not look good. It does not. Look. Good. Jamie Lee Curtis - iconic costume inspiration Halloween is everything everywhere all at once this year

Role models are essential to creating a diverse workforce. But being a pioneer comes with neither financial nor reputational renumeration, and the pressure to always “get it right” shouldn’t be underestimated, writes Clara Munro bmj.com/content/385/bm…

"We often mistakenly apply a survivorship bias in our efforts to understand the trajectory of female medics’ careers, looking at those who survive long enough to be role models, when perhaps we should be considering those who leave." Clara Munro bmj.com/content/385/bm…

'...it’s vital that we don’t become complacent or tokenistic, believing that by appointing a doctor with a specific trope of intersectionality we’ve solved wider workplace problems of poor diversity and representation.' So well written Clara Munro !👏 #ILookLikeASurgeon 💪
