    Just listening to Live Line there (I know), and a mother was on saying her son who is in his 30s won't be voting on Friday because it 'doesn't affect him' because he's single (?). Eh, why does it not affect him? Why does he not want to help females he knows or family members to have a choice in difficult situations?

    Also another man in his 70s called in to say he won't be voting on Friday because 'his family have luckily never had to deal with something like this' (as far as he knows I would imagine) and that by the time his grandchildren are of 'childbearing ages, sure I'll be long gone(!)'.

    LIKE, WTAF!?!

    Men! Get out and vote! Jaysus Christ!!!!

    I thought it was a Liveline thing. Vote for your favourite on Funny Friday?

    This about Irish men going out to vote either way. It's about men who think it's nothing to do with them, when it absolutely does.

    What if they go out and vote no? Will you be alright with that OP?

    Don't be shocked when 30% of the electorate don't vote OP. And believe it or not it won't be all men who don't vote.
