Point is, there's more than enough space for women to succeed, and when they try to shrink us and act like there's a limit on how many women can succeed, the limit has nothing to do with women.
As the ICJ case is today brought by South Africa against Israel for its genocide in Gaza, it feels kinda personally and politically relevant to the small part of Ireland I grew up in.
