(I lean left on most things) Target jobs and or any sponsors of anyone deemed "they enemy" and this will not stop at these players it will bleed into anyone that goes against their ideas as a means to silence them. Wife follows a guy from a certain hotel in Dublin, he expressed an opinion around the #ibelieveher protests as being dangerous, which he is allowed to do, he points out that this has went through the court of law, due process has been carried out and now we have protesters who do not have all the facts, they where not part of the jury these last few months who are now protesting against the outcome. He had a woman come into his hotel whilst people where eating breakfast in the last two days, basically stand up address the guests to tell them that the owner of the hotel is "pro rape" and that they should not be spending their money in his hotel...... This happened in the last two days.... So essentially if I started a protest tomorrow #Idon'tbelieveher you will have people in our society try and paint me to be "pro-rape" and do their best to get me fired from my job....... There is some crazy feminist logic happening at the moment that is border line insane!

Same seems to go for both (extreme) sides of the whole 8th argument etc. etc. etc. It just seems to be the way things are done these days. Don't reason and try to convince but shout down and bully. It's dangerous and worrying indeed.

I know I'm not a racist, so it didn't bother me having to go to that course. But a consent class for a man is assuming that all men are rapists? The class in itself no. The fact that anyone would suggest men need such classes, yes. At the very least it implies that you believe men are inherently rape oriented and need to be taught how not to do it. Quite demeaning really.

One thing tough if these guys contracts are cancelled could it happen in other areas apart from sports? If a school teacher used similar language in a what's app group chat and somebody informed the department of education could he/she be fired because teachers can be role models to students. It could also be possible in lots of professions.

And I don't mean "How not to Rape 101" for men, and "How not to get Raped 101" for women. Treat everyone the ****ing same, everyone is capable of horrendous ****, teach people how to avoid it, and what to do if it does happen. People of all races can be racist.

And dare say that a woman gets dressed up for men, you'd be shot.

I don't snapchat I just watched it this morning on wifes phone, he goes through what happened in the hotel with their CCTV footage. I think the woman who came in to do this was actually a journalist.

I don’t agree with the women ambushing his guests eating their lunch, but I believe he tweeted a stupid joke from his business account, rather than his own personal account, which is why his cafe is getting targeted and spammed with 1* reviews on Facebook. He also has encouraged his following to leave 1* reviews on the pages of those who have disagreed with him in the past. So he’s getting his just deserts if you ask me.

They have been found not guilty in a court and now people want them to lose out on a career over texts that were private. People have a right to discretion, a private life and to engage in as crass a humour as they see fit among their friends, once they and their friends deem it acceptable among each other. If Jackson was in a scuffle on cctv outside a Mcdonalds ( ala mike philips of welsh rugby fame) then the role model angle can be played. They were private texts which unfortunately for them have now entered the public domain. They didn't nail a sheet with "we are all top shaggers" to the door of the town hall .

Thinking he is an @sshole or deciding not to go to his hotel is one thing. Having a journalist come in and tell guest he is "pro-rape" of the back of that tweet is another. It is a tactic by crazy feminists, it makes people who join these rallies look like "crazy feminists" when things like this happen off the back of it. Maybe he should try and get her fired for defamatory comments or even charged, calling someone "pro-rape" he might actually have a case.
