Rosemary Mac Cabe suggests #yesallmen...then claims she was joking

Faugheen

Am I the only one that sees something very wrong here yet people aren't taking her to task?

https://twitter.com/rosemarymaccabe/status/952634437585592321

She's spewing her man-hating nonsense, now suggesting that all men are involved.

She followed it up with this:

https://twitter.com/rosemarymaccabe/status/952634754289070081

This suggests to me that she is very, very serious. Anyway, someone from 98fm seemed to get in touch with her, because then she tweeted this:

https://twitter.com/rosemarymaccabe/status/952817254131032066

...how can she joke about something like this? James Corden made Weinstein jokes and was rightly criticised, this woman then suggests all men are involved and claims a joke yet nothing.

She has thousands of followers yet continues to get away with hate-filled nonsense like this. Why have none of the media done anything?

She needs to be taken to task over this yet it seems people are afraid to because it would look like they're attacking women. She doesn't deserve to be spoken about in the same breath as feminists and what they're fighting for.

apparently it's the end of civilization.

Here's a rule of thumb on boards. The people who post about feminism are the people who dislike feminism. the people who post about cyclists are the people who hate cyclists. The people who post about islam... well, you get my drift.

This thread will be a group of people claiming that she's a nazi or discriminates against people. They'll compare her to Stalin or Mao or someone. They'll get all wound up and after a few pages it'll die.

Until tomorrow when a new tweet is found for them to get outraged about.

Of course at this point in reading this someone is already preparing to quote me and say "Why don't you actually supply an opinion" or "This should matter"

This is a tweet. By someone that most of us have never hear of. Posted by someone who was looking for a reason to be outraged. It's a non news item and shouldn't be thought of twice.


BTW, The OP asks why the media aren't doing anything about this. Well apparently from his own post it's going to be on the radio.

I have no idea who she is. The world contains many people who you should ignore or give no credence to. People say all kinds of nonsense every day. They're best just ignored in the most part. The fact she has thousands of 'followers' on twitter means nothing to me and won't have any impact on my life, so let her waffle on.

I'd say the people most likely to be outraged by this are also the people who are outraged that other people feel outrage at some other outrage.

There's going to be outrage, is what I'm saying.

Thankfully beyond the internet in this country, none of this carry-on has any impact in day to day life for the normal person.

Complete nobody says something stupid on twitter.....im more interested in why people get bothered by these random comments than the comments themselves.

I love the snowflake emoji in her name.

Oh my isn't she the little catch !

We have to be outraged or people will appear here outraged at the fact that we aren't outraged by this. Sometimes you just can't do right for doing wrong.

She's a cabbage. Anyone giving her much attention, for or against, is also a cabbage. The end.

She makes Louise O'Neill look reasonable.

I think she needs a good all fashioned rogering, with expressed written consent of course.

A nobody said something controversial and stupid on Twitter.

THIS IS UNPRECEDENTED. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO???!!!11

Get on Twitter and ask your followers. It appears tweeted opinions are all that matter now.

I think some people need to stay off Twitter, lest they be triggered by some randomer no one has ever heard of making a joke they don't like. Some people need to grow thicker skin.

Whats a "twitter"? :pac:

Is there going to be a thread each for every moron on Twitter who posts something insipid?

Here's another rule of thumb on Boards.

There is always at least one poster who thinks they can read minds and predict the future, proceeds to try and is actually really terrible at it.

I for one am outraged that this Nazi woman, who looks like Stalin but sounds like Mao, is discriminating against men. I hope she tweets again tomorrow.

Why don't you actually supply an opinion? This stuff obviously matters enough for you to comment on it.

I don't suppose you know what next weeks winning lottery numbers will be?

Probably a strong case for a stickie to keep them all prominent lest we miss them.

The kind of snowflake that cares about this is the same kind of snowflake who is outraged and offended at all the snowflakes out there.*


*That's right. I put offended, outrage, and snowflake in the same sentence.

I swear to God most of the threads on this forum these days are about identity politics b*llocks; something that rarely comes up in discussion amongst normal people in real life.

As long as none of the vital insights are lost forever that's the main thing.

Seriously daft. I found my mood got a lot better when I stopped giving morons like this attention. Whether people agree with them or not, as long as they keep clicking ad revenue increased encouraging more of the same.

Never heard of her. She's a nobody so I don't care what she says.

Yes but the kind of snowflake that cares that other snowflakes care about this is the same kind of snowflake who is outraged and offended at all the snowflakes who are outraged and offended at all the snowflakes out there.

It's snowflakes all the way down.

Free country, say what she likes.

I don't follow her on twitter but I've taken a look just now and she kept the #yesallmen going for quite some time, some guy rightly challenged her on it and she backed her points up. She only played the "it was a joke" card when 98FM called her bluff.
Pathetic stuff really.

You could say that for all of Twitter to be honest. If anyone of actual import has anything meaningful or worth listening to to say then it'll be on the news.

I wouldn't worry. Her original tweet got 22 likes so the complete horse manure she spouts is no threat to society just yet.
Gas how she backtracked once someone wanted to discuss it with her though.

But... but... but... what about her 'thousands of followers'?

bullvine

She posted that disgraceful article about "Why I did not report my rapist?" around a year ago..

Then within a few days posted a pic of herself crying, what sort of person takes a selfie of themselves with tears in their eyes.

I shall demonstrate how little I care about this by informing you all that I do not care about this.

Since I do not care, you should all follow my lead and not care.

Did I mention how little I care? I care exactly zero. You can tell because I can't stop telling you how little I care.

Now excuse me while I go and thank all the other posts that express how little they care about this irrelevant topic.

I care that we've reached the stage where somebody obviously cares enough to start a thread about something none of us should care about.

KERSPLAT!

Come on lads, all this "someone said something on twitter, who cares" crap. She has 30k followers so it's not your standard eejit talking shyte. They may all be the same as her, and tbh I've no interest in what she's saying, but all of this instant dismissal is dangerous in itself IMO. If she's spewing hateful/ignorant bullsh!t she should be called out on it.

edit: "and tbh I've no interest in what she's saying," that's a complete oxymoron. My issue is with the dismissal of her as being just another tweeter. She should be called out on her tweets.

razorblunt

On a serious note though if she's that flippant I'd have serious doubts of using her employer's facilities.

Never heard of her tbh.

Don't I know it! I might open a Twitter account and rant about it sometime.

Sartre was right: Hell is other people.

Twitterati feminists should be locked in the same room with board's easily offended men rights activists and they can whinge about each other to death.
