Absolutely.
It's not just about trad white.
I just think it's very reductive.
I know.
I definitely think they need to take us on board as consultants on this because that, you know, that strategy for women and girls would never have got off the ground if I'd had anything to do with it.
And much more effective ways.
If Norma wants to make a real difference, she could pop into her colleagues in the Department of Public Expenditure and talk to them about properly funding childcare and talk to them about funding that gap in the working day that we're always talking about between when primary school finishes and
2.10 in the afternoon and your job finishes at 6pm.
You know, all of these little things that we are expected.
And women pick up the slack for society constantly.
Society could not function.
If women were to go on strike, and maybe we should.
Yes.
Then they would realise that the problem is not that we're being influenced by trad wives.
The problem is that we are being shoved into these really narrow, restrictive roles by the way society is structured.
And until that changes, nothing is going to change.
No amount of throwing money at a public information campaign is going to make a damn bit of difference until we have proper after school care, proper breakfast care, a working day that mirrors the school day or a school day that mirrors the working day and like end the three and a half months of summer holidays or whatever it is.
I know that will be very unpopular and I'm sorry to my own children if they're listening.
I love you.
They're not loving you at the moment.
