Woman in ireland are treated extremely well in international and historical terms. Our we moving from MOPE ( most oppressed people ever) to MOWE? I suspect you are taking the piss.

Mrs Shuttleworth wrote: » The entire fallacy of "love" and "romance" is based initially on sex, and not on connections in any other way. Men sleep with women first then decide if they want to get to know them beyond that. Those who aren't very good at the "merry go round at the carnival" (to quote the defendants) get left behind. This case proves that quite probably they are better off.

Sidebaro wrote: » I would question that given what I've seen on this thread, if you were to equate the ratio here to the ratio of the male population of Ireland. Women disbelieved when they say they've been raped (not the trial, a poster on boards), the woman in the trial labelled a slut and a liar, 'all lads talk like that, what can you do?', etc. I know that you'll say that's only a few but it's enough that I would question the claim of VAST majority. I know you'll say that women are bad too, of course they are but that's not what's being discussed. If you are blind to how ignorant a lot of comments directed at women have been then fine, I guess you don't think there's a problem but a lot of my female friends, not ones who protest or post hashtags, are intimidated by males in general. A lot of the time it's unwarranted but sometimes their fears are proved right and it's not the vast majority of the time. The flat out refusal of this, as if all posters only know good and honest men, is as unhelpful as it is expected.
