A man is aggressively disrespectful & belittling until she responds in kind & then the problem becomes her response, not his appalling behaviour.

Sound familiar?

We see you misogyny & this won’t work anymore

Thank you Senator Ruane - you spoke for us all

This is really shocking. There is absolutely no way this man would have spoken to a man in this way.

Absolutely shameful lack of respect.

Dear Business Post

I think a look around Leinster House will show that most politicians are ‘keen on smart trouser suits’ - do you include observations on appearance in all of your profile pieces? Or just for women?

Do better.

Currently doing interviews with women across the political spectrum from all parties and none around the country - elected reps & behind the scenes - about their stories of sexism in Irish politics

And Oooo boy are there stories

Since medieval times, strong, powerful women have been called witches by weak men.

This Halloween I’ll be celebrating brilliant fearless women who refused to be shamed or silenced ❤️🧙‍♀️

Political parties across the board need to develop robust complaints procedures to address these tactics - FF isn’t the only party where spreading lies is used as a tool to silence, control and diminish strong women.

The three horsemen of the patriarchy telling us not to ask question about the details of the deal and that instead we should just ‘trust’ them is PEAK disrespectful misogyny from the government

Utterly shameful

It is wearisome that we have to keep pointing this out over and over again - if political parties are really serious about improving women’s representation in politics, they need to take steps to address the abuse women get.

Top moment of film was John McGuirk being every douchy politics bro ever disparaging & dismissing the work and strategies of women - only to be proven completely wrong.

We have GOT to talk about what is done to women in politics - this happens across all parties in all political spaces.

Women should be able to engage in politics without their lives being made hell.

OOoooooooo are we having the conversation about the women who collude with the Patriarchy & are complicit in working to denigrate and remove women from traditionally male dominated spaces?

Is it finally time?
