Academic & mum of 3. I research work-family balance, wage gaps & flexibility. I also share opinions on issues I think matter. Feel free to disagree.
New Canadian study: women who become surrogates are three times more likely to suffer from postpartum depression and PTSD. How many more studies do we need before we stop treating women like vessels? 📎 theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…
How do we locate the causes of male violence? In The Lives of Boys, founder of Men At Work @MenAtWork_MC talks about chasing the newest bugbear or gimmicky villain instead of looking at what we already know. It may be comforting to think we're dealing with a new problem that…
“It’s heart wrenching… (to give your baby to someone else to take care of)…& to also know you’re not being valued at work…you can completely understand why women exit the paid labour force”
New episode 🔥 As we continue to tear it all down as the mythbusters that we are! #podcasting #domesticlabor #WomenInInnovation chatinthecommons.com/endless-work-1…
Depraved and sadistic. In humanitarian operations you would normally provide female only spaces to improve access to life saving assistance, their safety and dignity, not to enhance ways killing females more effectively. The consequences of Israel’s actions are not inly…
The US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation designated today as a "women-only" aid distribution day Thousands of women gathered to receive desperately needed aid. Israeli occupation forces opened fire towards the crowds. At least one woman has been killed so far
The forced starvation of the Palestinians can be solved in 24 hours. OPEN THE FUCKING GATES!!! OPEN THE FUCKING GATES!!! OPEN THE FUCKING GATES!!! OPEN THE FUCKING GATES!!! OPEN THE FUCKING GATES!!!
The bifurcated sexual morality of contemporary society is interesting. This mass performative outrage & public shaming over a stranger’s supposed marital infidelity just doesn’t match up to our seeming acceptance of every other fringe or harmful behaviour
UN expert on violence against women & girls @UNSRVAW calls for immediate global action to halt genocidal violence against women in #Gaza. “What is happening to Palestinian women and girls is not collateral damage of war.” ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
In her report to #HRC59, UN expert @UNSRVAW calls for reaffirming importance of sex in description of violence against women & girls. ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
A draft of a UN document identifies a "central tension" between combatting sex stereotypes and "aspects of gender identity theory that are heavily based on stereotypes." The theory frames "sexist norms about how women should dress and behave as a form of “gender expression."
Today is the ten year anniversary of the Gender Recognition Act in Ireland. The Act has serious implications for women, children and, in particular, vulnerable LGB young people. It’s time for a reckoning. Ten years on, it’s time to talk #GRA10YearsOn #GRATimeToTalk #TimeToTalk
We knew sex was real when we put young girls into industrial laundries as slaves to the Catholic Church. We knew sex was real when we put young girls into baby farms then starved or abused those babies to death. We still know sex is real. Gender identity is malignant rubbish.
Most parents I know want kids to have 1980s freedom . Yet 1 reason we don’t let them roam is other kids with unrestricted smartphones. The risk of exposure to violent p*rn or them being filmed is real, not imagined -it’s not helicopter parenting so much as adapting to new risks.
Instead of dismissing safety as unimportant, we need to recognise that resilience and personal growth often develop through confronting challenges rather than avoiding them. irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/pare…
Why aren’t I enjoying Caledonian Road? One of a handful of novels set in the (relatively) present day and that get good reviews that I just can’t get into.
