Bear with me for a moment while I do a feminist rage - liberal feminism has not gone far enough in ‘ruining’ (aka fundamentally transforming) the workplace … & there is no such thing as conservative feminism (call it what it is, anti-feminism) … and that’s my tuppence worth on a Friday morning

Always nice to see our work picked up and amplified by other, bigger media. These survey results have been on RTÉ radio, Newstalk, FM104, and others are planning to cover it too.

Today we've published five articles about the results. 1/
