Could you imagine seeing a National Newspaper say something like
"Irish Women fall short in ranking of average boob sizes around the world"Or "Irish Women fall short in ranking of average vagina tightness, around the world"
Might as well say Irish men are a joke and lets laugh about it.
I have two young kids. A boy and a girl. My daughter will likely read sexist things as she grows up. But she will see people call it out as sexist. People will say "dont be a d**k head, you shouldnt say that". But my son will also read sexist things. The difference is people will joke about it instead.
We always hear that "social media hurt young girls in particular" and it makes them feel bad about their bodies. But what is the difference here? All I see is the "feminist" NGO mentality that is popular across the western world, tends to take the approach "men have had it their way for too long. Now its our time". My son is 5. He is not responsible for Weinstein "loving himself" in an elevator on front of people. My son and daughter should have equal rights and respect. "Leveling out" is not real to people who never had that perceived "Privilege".I am all for not body shaming. I am also all for taking the absolute yellow water out of these things. But rubbish like this needs to be called out instead of taking cheap pops for clicks. But the truth is we will have Ciara Kelly on Newstalk spouting about how women are body shamed in this country.

You mean headlines like this?
Difference is the headline about breastsize is actually talking about a discomfort issue. The headline about small penis' is just poking fun at men.
You are correct about female soldiers though. One of my mates is a prison officer. She is more suited to that job than any guy I know. But she is a typical woman. As in she isnt "butch or manly". She is just suited to the job.I was once passed up for a promotion because I was told by my manager that she wanted to hire a female for the role. In the same company (a big coffee chain) they have nearly all female managers. In my current company we brag about having a 78% female employment. Of course if it was the other way around they would be slated.
PEOPLE shouldnt be discriminated against for roles. My son and daughter should have the same opportunities . But I know as a white male, my son is going to have to let other skip the queue as he grows up. All in the name of "levelling out".
