This cartoon by Naked Pastor is SO GOOD. Sums up what I’ve been saying for ages about what happens when you start gatekeeping womanhood (and spoiler alert it’s the opposite of feminism).
Two doors - the ‘male’ entrance is wide and square like a door. The ‘woman’ entrance is a cutout of a very thin long haired woman in heels.

Despite assurances, no workable solution has been delivered for The Complex. This is in stark contrast to the Taoiseach’s taskforce for Dublin, which talks about extending cultural access, supporting artists, and developing cultural hubs. It is nothing short of a failure of political will.
