If they won’t call it rape, what’s the word for presuming consent, gaining sexual gratification from humiliating a woman, making her bleed, talking about her like she’s dirt on your shoe, trying to cover it up, lying continuously and showing no remorse or empathy? #Ibelieveher

Remembering a time I couldn’t make dinner, but met friends at a restaurant to go out after. They were on dessert, so I ordered wine. Someone offered me the sushi she hadn’t eaten. I nibbled at some whilst having the chats. When the bill came she says, “Laura, our main was €35.”

There’s a danger of centring ourselves in Ashling Murphy’s story. For her family, this isn’t a movement, it’s a bereavement. But this outpouring of emotion from Irish women is coming from a place of deep empathy. It wasn’t us, but it could have been.

If the only discrimination you ever face in your life is (temporarily) not being allowed inside a pub, you're doing ok. And if you think your indoor pint is more important than people's long-suffering livelihoods, I don't know what to say to you.

We can finally put to bed the auto-response people have when talking about size: “Marilyn Monroe was a size 14 ye know!” She was in her hoop. I remember thinking as much when I saw the exhibition of her clothes, including the dress, at Newbridge. Sizes have clearly changed a lot.

I understand the attempts at a positive spin on this, but I think the point is that people are using it as an opportunity to clear out their houses. Friends working in collection centres have sent me pics of the stupidest things being ‘donated’. It’s dumping by any other name.
