    I'm sorry, I couldn't read the article due to the astounding victim complex in your post.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,651 ✭✭✭✭El Weirdo


    Are you not outraged, OP?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,292 ✭✭✭jiltloop


    You're right, it is utter horsesh!t but I don't find it offensive whatsoever. It just reads like an article in a teen magazine or something.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,375 ✭✭✭✭kunst nugget


    Is it an insecurity thing? An article like that wouldn't bother me at all. Half the points would seem to contradict themselves and it has all the feel of someone with half an hour to deadline trying to think of any auld shyte to write to fill copy.

    I prefer some unadulterated bishop bashing meself.

    I'd love a woman to bash me. Any takers ladies?????

    Meh. That columnist just makes herself look like a dope writing that kind of clichéd drivel.

    Crap like that makes her come off worse than the fictional man she’s clearly fantasizing about anyway. To say nothing of the racist undertones and outdated stereotyping!

    I’ll bet she’s a tedious bore in real life. quietly suffered by her family and friends, but quite likely idolized by her equally vacuous social media followers.

    Mental floss. Ignore the fool.

    The hang up some men have about 'men bashing' is utterly laughable. Try moaning about your anti-men complex to any women and she'll rightly and very quickly put you in your place when she asks you how you enjoy enduring period pain / childbirth / menopause .. and thats just what mother nature throws at women, dont get me started about how man has treated women since the dawn of time. Men get an extortionately easy time of it in every facet of life. If you dont like the article dont read it but you have absolutely zero right to feel that as a 'man' you are being, in any way, shape or form victimised because of your sex.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,971 ✭✭✭✭bear1


    Society has gotten so focused on this whole gender issue that any small things enrages either group.
    Anti male article? Pissed off men.
    Anti female article? Pissed off women.
    Both sides will never win the argument so to further enhance non issues to the extreme only makes things worse.
    Sad really.

    I can't get past the bit about Adil Rami getting the leg over Pam. Fair play.

    So, should I say a couple of decades of the rosary for having testicles?

    Article seems like it's written by a moron.

    Morons are allowed opinions too. By definition , half the world is below average intelligence. She seems to be safely accounted for in that lower half.

    Don't get annoyed at it. Just thank your lucky stars that you are also not a moron.

    Absolute horseshïtë

    Childbirth pain has been measured ( ADP to ATP conversion rates )at about 40-50 % of the pain a kick in the bo11ox.
    Evident in real life , as you'll never hear a man say, " I'd love another kick in the bo11ox",

    If I was her editor I would tell her to get out and only come back with something with substance and not some school magazine quality article.

    And BTW OP. Its a piśśtake article.
    Real men see it for what it is.

    No I dont think men should necessarily have to apologise for their gender but its pathetic to see men whinging about being put upon over an article. Really now, as a gender, women have had an atrocious time of it compared to men, there is simply no argument. If you are arguing the point and feeling victimised then you really dont understand what women have endured and continue to endure.

    Women give birth. It’s not easy or painless and nobody argues it is. Men in general appreciate what women go through and do for society in this regard.

    But do we have to listen to or read gutter-tripe like this as some kind of price we pay? Is that how it works now?

    We should stop procreating with needy attention whores like that columnist in that case. I suspect that might might be what’s happened to feed her bitterness anyway.

    Having children and raising a family doesn’t make you a victim.

    The jocund list paints a picture of a person everyone can hate, but who HAPPENS to be male.
    We can definitely unite as a species against #20.
    OP - why not say "challenge accepted" and churn out your list here on the thread of 20 things to watch out for with crazy chicks?

    It's just an extremely awful piece of writing - not having a go at men in general, just a particular type of man.

    I agree though, no way would you find the reverse, but it's too terrible a load of rubbish to be that bothered by. Is it in the "entertainment" section or some sh1t like that?

    Be more specific as to which men have treated women badly - hasn't happened to me.

    And it's an absolute joke to say that men get an extortionately easy time of it in every facet of life. Like war? Extremely difficult and dangerous jobs? Parental rights? Recognition if they're being or have been abused? Male sex abuse survivors - is life a walk in the park suddenly when they become men? Marital breakdown?

    You're equating childbirth to a kick in the nads ? Totter off into any maternity ward and watch a live delivery ... then come back to me. The arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking.

    A great illustration of how a man reacts to an article he doesnt agree with .. he calls the writer a 'needy attention whore'. Would you use the same terminology if it had been a male author writing an article that incensed you in equal measure. No.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,372 ✭✭✭✭branie2


    I think the article has a point.

    Lets talk about basic human rights. The right to work, the right to an education , the right to leave the house without a male chaperone, the right to marry the man of one's choosing .... 100s of millions of women globally do not have any of these fundamental human rights. So yes I stand squarely behind the fact that men have it easy and have had it easy in comparison to women.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,779 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock


    Once there is a number of items in a list form, you know you're dealing with a self-important journalist that the editor is keeping at arm's length.

    And it's not make bashing. If it was anti-women the op would be having a go at faminists making mountains out molehills instead of doing it himself

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    But what you say doesn't apply in the West and I think the distinction needs to be made.
