Quotas for Female Politicians in Ireland

Really?

I have no time for radical feminism which states all men are rapists, all men are oppressors, all sex is rape in some form, that all porn is evil and I have no time for radical feminism which is misogynistic as I have men in my life how are fathers, brothers, lovers, sons, friends whom I love and I do not have any regard for radical feminism which is separatist, if we want to make the changes which are needed then we need men to understand the issues and to support the changes and to speak to each other about the issues.

So often in this forum radical misogynistic speratist feminism is criticised.
The problem is when people seem to think that the above is the only type of feminism or that the discussion of the fringe overtakes the thread.

This thread was about quotas here in Ireland not anywhere else, but well done on derailing it completely and hogging the thread.

I didn't derail the thread, one poster that refused to back up their claims with the assistance of a mob derailed the thread with a barrage of lies and personal attacks, and anyone that reads the thread can see that. Now, in a continuation of that barrage of lies I'm being falsely accused of being the one that derailed the thread. Hogging? No, I responded to personal attacks, logical fallacies and patiently requested that claims were backed up.

I was critical of quotas and radical feminists in gov. thats what provoked the derailing and mobbing. Im not saying that all the posters here are intolerant of criticism of radical feminism, I'm just saying that the ones that are working so hard at derailing to suppress that criticism and frame me as the derailer, are.

And looking at the same policies in other countries is perfectly normal, truth is if I was using other countries as support for quotas, the opinion would be welcome.

edit, Just look at all the thanks you have gotten for misrepresenting what happened here and making a false accusation by the very people that set out to derail the thread because information and opinion that the deemed "incorrect" was being published. The correctness of an opinion is being judged on political grounds (and perhaps sexism) rather than facts.

And back to talking about quotas in other countries being framed as incorrect, any real conversation about quotas would allow comparing policies in the UK, Kosovo, India, Sweden and anywhere else where this sort of candidate and election rigging has been imposed.

As well as that there is the question of the suitability of people that are ideologically predisposed to support discrimination, for example against certain abuse victims while protecting certain abusers, in health care, education, in law... being allowed to candidate and election rig and the track record that these people have in gov. and how their ideological beliefs have lead to fraud and discrimination is valid conversation.

All these factors might be uncomfortable for some, but they are none the less valid in a conversation about feminist rigged quotas.
