An all male panel in 2025 is really disgraceful @tonightvmtv.bsky.social

#ZarahSultanaMP sues up over Corbyn's membership mutiny - calling out "sexist boys' club" vibes in new "Your Party" chaos!
-> Trans rights rift with MP Hussain seals the split.
-> Left's unity .... Crumbled?

Really looking forward to chatting to @LimerickToday this morning about my favourite topic - women in politics and the barriers they face

Politics in Ireland in 2025:
The most experienced elected rep on Galway Council being described as ‘a good girl’ by a younger male colleague

Misogyny is so deeply embedded and hardwired into the system that even when a woman manages to overcome the odds and get elected, everything remains pitted against her

‘Women are not small men & Limerick is not small Dublin’
Loved this great chat about why one size fits all political campaigns don’t work-especially in spaces that have been built for white men to thrive in

A message from the brilliant Hazel Chu to all the women in every level of politics & activism out there feeling exhausted & disheartened right now - we’ll never stop fighting for what’s right & fair & the more abuse we get- the more determined we become ❤️

Irish government 2025 folks.
How bad does it need to get before we can talk about sexism in party politics & the people and parties colluding with this?
#sexisminpolitics @manelwatchIrl #manel
We need to be allowed to talk honestly and openly about parties using women as ‘token candidates’ if we are ever to have any chance of addressing the lack of gender equality in Irish politics.

Quotes from a report on sexism in politics Women are used as props Women are used as window dressing Women are told not to run
We also know that women are brought on by big parties to make up gender quotas & sweep up votes for male candidates
This is a statement of fact
We need to be able to criticise the strategy & name it as a barrier to gender parity in politics
#sexisminpolitics #GE24 @seeherelected.bsky.social
Statistics showing very low percentages of women TDs elected to each political party in Ireland
Newspaper headline from 2023 from a Report launch about sexism in politics Headline reads ‘Female politicians face shocking levels of sexism from male colleagues, report finds’. Picture of 5 Limerick based women politicians
We need to be be able to talk about this
It is not a denigration of the superb men in politics out there to say that there is profound unfairness & misogyny in Irish party politics-it is a statement of established fact
