    Indeed. However... they're fierce concerned about misogyny by Muslims/the blacks. Fierce concerned all of a sudden then.

    That is a pathetic equivalence to make. Seriously, get a grip.

    Agree, she grew her arse in the first place just so she could get this claim, so she did.




    Opportunism my friend.
    The easily offended thrive on it.you see an opening and you milk it.
    Off work now with the “social anxiety” is my bet.
    She will be cured miraculously after the court case though

    And what about the lad slapping her, any thoughts on that whole part of it?

    I hope she gets a fortune from him. You can clearly see him drop his shoulder as he approaches her, he knew exactly what he was doing.

    Maybe some men don't see the problem here? The more people sue for this sort of thing the better. maybe the message will get through.

    Would you feel confident and comfortable going back on live/national television after being disrespected & humiliated like that for all to see?

    More protection on your part, regardless.

    She did nothing wrong, the guy who touched her did, and yet here you are badmouthing her, a 23 year old woman you've never met. Guys like you clearly do exist. Interesting, thanks.

    What does her age have to do with anything?

    No it isn't.

    I have a problem with all misogyny, no matter who it's by. I don't pick and choose according to nationality/religion.

    Of course there is a scale and women definitely get treated far far worse in the Arab world and Africa than they do in the West.

    But it looks downright disingenuous to obsessively refuse to acknowledge - and downplay/ridicule - crappy treatment of a woman like the folks I'm talking about do. And express blatant hostility towards women. And whatabout like their lives depend on it. And then to claim to be concerned about misogyny elsewhere. Particularly when they don't want those mistreated women and girls to be given refuge here. It's exactly the equivalent of the feminist crowd who refuse to acknowledge terrible treatment of women by muslims/travellers.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,239 ✭✭✭Sonics2k


    I am absolutely mind blown by people saying she needs to get over this.

    I'm more than sure that most men in here would be the very first to throw a punch at someone if they slapped the arse of their wife or daughter randomly on the street.

    To be named and shamed world wide for slapping a girls ass is completely over the top.

    Had he murdered her on camera then fair enough. The punishment far out weighs the crime here. Yes he was completely wrong to do what he did.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,817 ✭✭✭Raconteuse


    She’s a yank that was reared in a country that invented the compo nation.
    Nothing to do with her being a woman or man.
    I 100 percent guarantee money will change hands over that.
    I dunno coz I'm not a mind reader.

    Well I hate to point out the blindingly obvious but he did it on live TV right in front of the camera. What did he expect would happen the dope.

    Aaah, there we have it.

    Make sure to pick up your mask before you go.

    It was on Live TV. He brought this entirely on himself.

    She was confident and assertive enough to have tweeted in the aftermath...
    To the man who smacked my butt on live TV this morning: You violated, objectified, and embarrassed me. No woman should EVER have to put up with this at work or anywhere!! Do better.

    ... and good for her.

    But do people who are really disrespected and humiliated go on Twitter ? I don't think so. More than any other cohort in society, media types know that for every statement you make on social media, a certain portion of people will mercilessly... disrespect and humiliate you.

    I think when something like that happens in a public sphere and you're someone with something of a profile you're damned if you do, damned if you don't


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 632 ✭✭✭Sorry about that

    Put a tiny piece of paper on top of the 23 year old bit and it shouldn't bother you. And your position is obvious on the subject by the way.

    He probably shouldn't have slapped her ass live on tv then, the fucking egit

    I'm just curious as to why you felt the need to mention her age that's all. It isnt relevant.

    People need to drop this stuff same way people shouldn't assault other people. We need to cut out the acceptance of crime in society.

    Can I ask though why is she entitled to a fortune?

    First they came for the socialists...

    And what about it, if he didn't go slappin' asses that he shouldn't be slappin' - we wouldn't even be discussing this.

    See: actions = consequences

    Why are you so curious?


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,215 ✭✭✭✭Suckit


    Fcking ridiculous, the whole thing. Every bit of it.
    Him smacking her ass, stupid.
    The awful news report about it is worse.
    Him being named and shamed worldwide including his social media profile and any side activities, is beyond ridiculous.

    I have had my ass smacked in public, by a random stranger. Never did I feel humiliated or assaulted. I felt confused for about 3 minutes, and then forgot about it mostly until now.

    Trying to discredit you.

    Their first post to this thread is "Oh ffs. Get over it" .

    Well, ok, you've elaborated your point very succinctly, and it would be stupid to argue with anything you've said there, in terms of how people should behave decently to others.

    I imagine you're as well aware as I am though, that the faintest whiff of the immigration issue - on either side - is often fatal to a thread on here.

    How on earth is it edgy? :confused:

    It's one of the more reasonable posts actually.

    By 'fortune' I was really just using a figure of speech, but I hope he has to pay financially in some way, since I expect it is highly unlikely any police action will follow. His 'apology' shows he still doesn't get that he did anything wrong. A few bob out of his bank account might drive it home.
