The rewriting of history and fact is connected- it turns out that it was women that put men on the moon- women who did the calculation, women who worked out the maths for computers, women who have done so much. Women even invented climate science and quite possibly maths itself as well as the technology for computers, nuclear physics and so much more- why are we written out of history?

We need to take back control of these narratives as the earth and nature cannot wait. In the name of domestication, profit, wealth? and greed- we have even had control of child birth removed from us. So called nature based solutions and ecosystems servives are the latest attempt to remove anything natural from the world. Climate feminists need to reclaim these narratives and try and stop runnaway climate change before its too late and take their lead from the most famous climate activist of all -Greta!

However men continue to claim the credit and rule the narratives of what is needed and what is the future. Men currently control the econmy and the narratives around it- most importantly they control all the budgets, pensions and so much more- and the history and archaeology narratives about what counts and what has mattered in human developments.

There is an epidemic of gender violence, Womens issues have gone back 50 years- Even though the SDGs have at least 3 aims to help women- the womens issue is consistently ignored everywhere from COP leadership at COP26 to the Green Deal, to the UN experts -the women issue is all but ignored. However is in fact women who are leading on climate change- and we need to sort this out for all our sakes.
