    God, he's awful...

    Kevin Myers claptrap
    I was recently reading about yet another bevy of young women who are opting for pelvic refreshment with other women

    WTF is 'pelvic refreshment'?? 'Opting'? Like it's a restaurant...

    Almost all of his writings that I've seen in the Indo are like that, they're almost unreadable sometimes.

    Myers is a moron of the highest order don't get het up by anything he says, he's only looking for attention. And that goes for the other wastes of skin in the Indo/Sindo too.

    is there even a point to that crap?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Everything he writes makes me cringe so much. Of course, entitlement of opinion, etc. etc. but who knew such an opinion existed.

    Myers' delivery can be irritating and pompous, but he often hits the nail on the head.

    Whilst he made a lot of interesting points I really don't get what the overall message was:confused:

    Part of me is thinking he's saying women shouldn't sleep with each other because its leaving men alienated but he's surely not that stupid?I generally tend to agree with his stuff but occasionally he's ridiculous.

    I'm going to have to agree with everyone else on this one, it seems to be a few completely seperate ideas strung together with a silly premise of women not needing men for anything other than making babies.

    in general - quite good but could be a lot better and rarely if ever stoops to the reactionary crap that Myers etc comes out with

    I only read half of that article and I'm left scratching my head. Does he even know what he is talking about, because all I see is the indo destroying perfectly good toilet paper every time Kevin Myers has a brain fart.

    Anyone remember the "bastards" article from a few years back, when he wrote for the Times? It's pretty much the reason he now writes for the Indo.

    It's Kevin Myers, the guy is an egomaniac who believes his opinions to be fact and spits the dummy anytime anybody challenges him with and argument based in anyway on real and tangible truths. In other words he's a moron whose sole purpose is to cause reaction and get the Indo publicity in the process. He epitomises the waste of a good education!
