    On the front page of the Irish Times today, there's an article about a survey that the paper carried out.

    "A total of 65 per cent of women rank financial independence as a very important item in their lives, followed by personal care such as skin or hair (57 per cent) and female friends (54 per cent)."

    Do more women *really* value skincare and haircare than their friends??? :confused:

    CJT has a point. Women do expect men to pick up their tab.

    You know it's true ladies.

    Hence the worries about good skin and hair, gotta be a looker to get the rich men.

    The survey givers really should have clarified the meaning of "financial independence" to the women...:p

    AFAIK politics was rated last by women.

    Yet feminists will still moan about women being under-represented in the Dáil... hmmm...

    How many 'feminists' are there tho? I know plenty of so-called 'feminists' who talk the talk but still expect doors to be opened, tabs to be picked up and shopping to be carried to the car.

    Some women should stop expecting an award for being self sufficient.

    Prime example being Beyonce Somethingorother, writes a song about the fact that she buys her own shoes and so forth.

    whoop-de-fúckin-doo.


    Ya won't hear a male writing a song about how empowered he feels because he buys his own sh1t. :p

    That's because any man worth his salt sends his woman shopping for him.

    How many 'feminists' does it take to change a lightbulb?

    One, but they secretly wish they had a man to do it for them.
