Articles like this prove exactly why allowing people a platform with very little critical ability is quite stupid. Anyone with half a brain can see what is going on here.

Let me guess, you've half a brain?
Sean has quite perceptive critical ability. I think that has always been obvious.

It's obvious if you bare no critical ability yourself. It's a shocking piece of analysis. He's nothing more than a poor femanazi.

Using terms like critical ability and then femanazi in the same statement is a bit of an oxymoron. Wouldn't you think?

No, not at all. Femanzi is an apt description in this case.

It’s never ending at this stage

Puke inducing bollocks. There is no point to this article.. There's barely even a point to it other then men are bad and have no role models. Who should be our role models then? Sean himself? He's proven himself to be a smarmy, judgemental git in recent times. This is barely Junior Cert level of writing and analysis.

The question is whether he actually believes the rubbish himself or is only virtue signalling amongst his right-on media buddies. I suspect the latter as he seems too intelligent in normal circumstances to easily fall for such an extremely partisan, discriminatory, man hating, poisonous version of feminism. So yes he is a feminazi but a cynical one. He is currying favour to gain kudos in certain exclusive media circles. Why he feels the need to do so is another question.

Grolschevik

Yeah. Feckin' Sean and his awareness of issues that may affect more than 50% of the population and his exploration of issues that may relate to a significant number of men.

Feckin' girly feminazi. If only he was a manly man with sufficient manly levels of manly testosterone, rather than the effeminate snowflake he so obviously is.

Click baity article with a title very obviously designed to get the "hurr durr feminazis" brigade to angrily click on it. Good job ye all see through the system and haven't been duped! Better keep reading and sharing those articles in case the feminist-industrial complex tries to get anything past ye.

It's pretty funny to watch the frothing rage, such testosterone, so masculine, wow.

I think you are confusing rage with contempt.

Somebody on another thread said he shacked up with his former producer who is a lot younger than him so maybe that’s the answer to your question. To keep on her good side.

you'd think that he'd have a gander at his own show for a sec. he's had an excellent foodie who passed away, and then an excellent child psychologist who passed away. i'd put both of them down as pretty good role models.

if you try to cook the way Paolo Tullio talked about, or tried to parent the way David Carey talked about, you'd have a pretty good head start. the lasagne might take 3 hours to cook from scratch, but at least if you make carbonara, you won't be dicking about looking for cream, and it'll taste good. i'm not sure about others, but i'd have held both of those men in high esteem.

how the hell he equated brexit with a story on male dominance or lack thereof is beyond me though. having worked for years in UKIP territory, that was just about racism, no matter how they tried to dress it up.

I don't agree with the article as I think that male role models in the media have little bearing on our lives growing up in comparison to the real life role models we have and none as we reach maturity. The notion put forward that male role models are essentially McGregor or nothing is a bit laughable as well. Also, I don't know anyone that doesn't think that McGregor was anything but an absolute penis after that incident in New York - it's a hardly a move that's been celebrated by anybody. I think it's an badly thought out and ill-conceived article.

The 'argh feminazis' reaction is an absolute joke from Men's Rights Don Quixotes tilting at feminist windmills and gets pretty tiresome to read the same points being constantly trotted out on these forums. Women are emasculating you and you're not feeling the love anymore - we get it.

Equally annoying though is that 'such testosterone, so masculine, wow' reaction just to get a rise out of them and to paint the notion that, by virtue of being male, we can all be lumped into the one homogeneous to be sneered at.

Didn't realise David Carey died, he was great, I really liked his segment. RIP.

I'm not lumping ye all together. There was a post saying Sean's effeminate, therefore obviously lacking in testosterone and can't understand the awesome macho power of men with lots of the stuff. I'm assuming you don't fetishise testosterone, so I'm not sneering at you, but ridicule is the only appropriate response to that craic, it's hilarious.

They're still doing that so you think you're an adult rubbish, they should have thrown it on the scrap heap a long time ago.

Am under the impression it fits in somehow with his right on "caring" agenda as when he always takes the most extreme feminist side on gender issues. It begs the question, yet again, who is he trying to impress?

any time i've heard it, they always seem to give the exact opposite advice that i would give.

I don't expect you to understand the distinction but it doesn't beg the question it invites the question.

Begging the question is assuming your conclusion to be true. You are begging the question of his attempt to impress somebody (for example). Sorry to be pedantic but you should move to the Kruger national park because you are the personification of the Dunning Kruger effect.

For your own sake would you ever just ****ing listen to something else?

Sean will be playing a David Carey slot tomorrow, replacing the Parenting slot..

Say Your Number

Just heard the replayed interview with David Carey, that was a turbulent life he had, Sean sounded upset signing off, they didn't finish with things to do tonight.

Tell me how

Had been chatting to him for 10 years. Understandable that there would be upset.
Leaving out things to do was a simple but correct thing to do.

David was a psychologist who had certainly walked the walk. Must have been very interesting to work with him.

Not sure probably within an hour or two.

Sean giving out about Raised by the Village after is also worth a listen.

2smiggy

they gave 'Cobra Kai' a great review, it is well worth a watch if you were anyway a fan of the Karate Kid (the original one)

I gave Love Island a watch for the first time ever last night, it was strange, i knew it was pure trash, but i kept on watching it !!

Phrase means both these days. Indeed, the OED lists the "raises a point" meaning as the first sense. Wittgenstein fans, I'm afraid you'll just have to take the beating. Or switch to saying petitio principii fallacy instead. (Which unfortunately may lead to other beatings.)

Hadn't heard this until I noticed this comment, listening back to the item now. Very sad news. Though I did briefly wonder when Joanna Fortune was introduced as their regular child psychologist at the start of one of her recent appearances...

I dunno which "the most extreme feminist" side is even supposed to be, in many cases. On transgender issues, for example.

Meaningless attempt at an adverse characterisation of anyone whose views are slightly more progressive than that of the reactionary speaker, perhaps?
