Their remit is to prevent rape and to educate on the issues surrounding it. Rather than make this a conversation about personal responsibility for all young people socialising, they have climbed on to a feminist bandwagon and made it about men and male sporting organisations. A complete dereliction of their responsibilities imo.

If you do, theyre masking their norms very well. BTW, I dont condone it. But i just dont condemn it whether as a display of moral indignation and outrage, or genuine outrage.

MrsMum, seeing as Facehugger doesn't appear too willing to explore the theme further -- perhaps I might ask if you would be willing to answer on the below hypothesis. Would you be supportive of the following National Programme being implemented? 1. All citizens of the State shall submit their phones and other electronic devices to the nearest Garda station; 2. All devices will be screened along a rubric created by a panel of experts on public morality and decency. All social media companies will be legally ordered to store messages which are deleted so that they can be retrieved.; 3. Screening will include ALL private correspondence, including with family, spouses and friends. 4. All those who are found to have used terms or language in private conversation that can be deemed offensive to the public or a section of the public shall be automatically liable for expulsion from their jobs. In one fell swoop -- all those who have used degrading and offensive language will be cast out of their jobs. Only the morally righteous shall remain and the workplaces of Ireland shall be purified. The battle to embed political correctness and moral perfection in private conversations will have been won. Would you support this program?
