I asked the Taoiseach to ensure that the coroner carries out its duty in respect to the mass infant and child deaths in mother and baby homes👇.
It is the duty of a coroner to hold an inquest when a body is found in their district. See here: ℹ️ https://t.co/jQmq6ex1GK

If you agree, I am asking you to email your TDs, the Taoiseach & the Min for Children to tell them there needs to be an inquest into the deaths, as well as redress, access to data, a commission for the disappeared and further research.
I recommend reading the joint statement from Adoption Rights Alliance, Justice for Magdalene laundries and the Clann Project: ℹ️ https://t.co/0dijRv26up
Q. Where can I read a copy of the report for myself?
A. Right here: https://t.co/teNIYFIgAs
A. There are many.
Since its publication, the report has been broadly rejected by survivors, advocacy groups, human rights lawyers & the general public.
Some of the main issues identified:
This is an excellent article written by @CaelainnH, author of Republic of Shame👉📰 https://t.co/y8eUATfzN4
A. They matter because unfortunately this report and its flawed findings will colour what happens next.
A. I don't have an answer for this. It feels like they’re hoping it will go away & disappear back under the carpet. This happened after the McAleese and Ryan Report and others. We cannot let this happen again.
A. We all need to make sure this doesn’t fall out of the headlines. We are calling for an inquest (amongst other things) into the staggering numbers of infant deaths at the mother and baby homes.
A. It can happen if enough public pressure is put on the government to do it.
A. You retweet this and email your TDs, the Taoiseach and the Minister for Children to them you support this call for an inquest as well as urgent action in the areas of redress, access to data, a commission for the disappeared and further research.

Like most movements, I have learned that the definition of feminism has expanded to include simply treating women like human beings.
(A thread for whoever feels like reading)
I have observed feminists on Twitter advocating for rape victims to be heard, rapists to be held accountable, for people to address the misogyny that is deeply rooted in our culture, and for women to be treated with respect.
To me, very easy things to get behind.
And the amount of pushback they receive for those very basic requests is appalling. I see men trip over themselves to defend rape and rapists and misogyny every chance they get. Some accounts are completely dedicated to harassing women on this site. It’s unhealthy.
Furthermore, I have observed how dedicated these misogynists are by how they treat other men that do not immediately side with them. There is an entire lexicon they have created for men who do not openly treat women with disrespect.
Ex: simp, cuck, white knight, beta
All examples of terms they use to demean a man who respects women.
To paraphrase what a wise man on this app said:
Some men hate women so much, they hate men who don’t hate women

Neighborhood gents, what\u2019s something you\u2019ve learned about feminism (or gained a better understanding of) that you think other men should know?
