But lots of rapes are committed by 'friends' where guys take no to mean persuade me further. Consent classes would certainly help in this area. .

I NEVER made a claim that there was a prevalent rape culture....NEVER. I no longer take offence because I have, what I feel, is a better understanding of its meaning. I think you are referring to a culture of respect for women, I will let Irish women be judge of that. We have a culture of spoof also, like kissing the Blarney stone...

Like it or not there’s a massive area where the idea of rape is not simple he’d said/ she said. This case is a great example of it unfortunately and everyone lost as a result. Better communication skills are badly needed for men and women here, preferably done in a dispassionate way without the usual agendas in play.Reform of the legal system is also worth considering, but from both sides given how abysmally both the accused and accuser were failed here. I do think that the progressive side has scored a serious own goal on this case though. Death threats and mob rule is not the face they’ve looked to shownin the past and they frankly come out of this looking pretty bad

So lets recap for the cheap seats; Have we a rape culture in Ireland? How prevalent is it, would you think a large majority/small minoriy/insignificant number of Irish males subscrive to what would be called 'rape culture"? By all means, judge me on my respect for women; my mother, sisters, wife, daughters, exgirlfriends (except that Psycho one in Galway back in 98). Do you think Irish women are illserved by their menfolk in their "respect", notwithstanding any deficiencies in grooming, personal hygiene, or ahem, "technique".

I didn't fail to answer, it's like asking you how many decent men do you think are out there? I have no idea how large or small it is, how would I, we don't record stats on the matter, we don't know how many people go road bowling every year either, but it's part of our culture. No doubt your thinly veiled smugness will go down well with the mob on here, personally I find your posting style to be quiet odious!

Although using your rationale you might extrapolate its part not only of Irish culture, but in fact, its European. I mean, they were Europeans bowling... On a European road... And now youre upset because your "argument" has suffered a humiliating reductio ad absurdum , and you've attempted a few under the belt blows, not only at me, but at those in the front row. A wise man once said, you know youre winning an argument with a women, when they try and change the subject. We're done.
