Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Ian Power:
The first thing to say about toxic masculinity and the current generation is that if one looks at the reaction to the Belfast rape trial on Twitter, the lack of empathy from quite a significant proportion of young, male Twitter users was astounding. From our perspective, it underscored the amount of work we have to do to effect that cultural change, and education is the silver bullet in that regard.
