Again, if a man beats up a woman for touching his bottom, would you say it is of her own making?

It would probably be a disproportionate response. Do you think the man was beaten up? More to the point; do you know how analogies work? LOL

Now forgive me for not taking this without a massive pinch of salt but an article entitled "Why men hate women" is not something I would even consider to be a balanced or fair article.

If you surround yourself with, and propagate disgustingly unbalanced articles like that, it's no wonder you can not and should not be taken seriously as was said to you previously

It's also a little bit self congratulotory. 'Men hate me because they are so desious of me'.

I wonder in a few months will you be calling this man a rapist in the same way your calling that guy a stalker? :rolleyes:

I honestly think there should be laws against exagerating 'sex' crimes tbh as you end up with the above posters absurdity.

there should certainly be laws against downplaying sexual crimes. that is rampant here.

That person is quite obviously the same person who has registered multiple accounts, each showing a blatant, overwhelming bias towards the male gender, and making wild claims like Ireland is recognised abroad as the most woman-hating nation on earth, hatred of women is an Irish tradition passed down through generations, and other utterly vitriolic rubbish.

I saw this in a research article today , it said:

"Psychoanalysts opine that deep down, men are convinced of a woman’s inferiority, and are traumatised when she seems to hold power over them through her sexuality. The act of sex brings out the worst in men because men fear the sexual power a woman holds over them. A man’s desire and need for a woman, brings with it his dependence on her, and he fears she may reduce the male sense of power and control, which he wields in almost every sphere of life — politics, society, home, office. And so, he sees her as the enemy who must be beaten down, subjugated in order to establish his own sway."

That's not a "research article." It's a six-year-old opinion piece by Vinita Dawra Nangia, executive editor of the Times of India.

Possibly this reflects the author's experience of life in India—which has a hierarchical social order based around caste and gender, and thus very different norms for the treatment of women—but it's a huge leap to propose that this describes Ireland in 2019.

It takes quite a fevered radical feminist imagination to propose with a straight face that men see women as their enemy.

Most Irish couples I know are both working, paying mortgages, raising kids together, and supporting one another through life's ups and downs. It's certainly the case in a minority of unfortunate relationships that one partner may be "beaten down and subjugated" — although the abuser is not always the man, and such relationships are not the norm.

Probably written but one of Sarahs Buddies. And she has the cheek to write about men hating women when she has professed nothing but vitriol and hate about men throughout the entire thread

I shouldn't give negative attention a second time, but I am curious what you meant by this comment? I doubt you will answer, but you never know. You might show some kind of intelligience.

Hey.. less of the insults.. I'm playing nice, you should too.

Since you asked though, I will explain:

Are you Irish - native, out of interest? -

Basically - my post was a shorter version of "what the hell has that got to do with the price of turnips?" as in - "what relevance does your question or statement have to do with the current discussion?"

I don't need to go on...

Ah, my mistake. I thought you were implying I was a farmer or something and, I was about to say there's nothing wrong with creating food and safety for your family wiht hard labour.

Sorry for the insult. If you want I can delete it?

To answer the question, I have picked the hard power version of what the woman is doing. You could say reverse everything, but, truth be told, I feel like women have less to fear in regard to being portrayed as a predator, being brought to court and, perhaps, percentage wise, have less to fear in losing their jobs due to more support in regards to homeless shelters, goverment bodies, and, again percentage wise, are not the sole breadwinner.

So, the mention of 'hard power' was I guess the 'male version' of an absurd sadistic punishment.

Oh god no, I am bog-dwelling semi-farm stock so wouldn't be against a bit of work. All in all a bit of a bumpkin to be honest.

Nah, not insulted at all - wouldn't fret

I wouldnt totally disagree with you on the above, but what I do disagree with is any notion against the fact that the ass slapper in this incident 100% brought absolutely everything on himself by slapping her on live tv for all the world to see. She's just a (unfortunate, unsuspecting) vessel for his own stupidity.

Oh i'm not suggesting you have a mental illness. I'm just suggesting that you ran out of sensible things to say and now you're down to making off the wall analogies like "if a man beats up a woman for touching his bottom, would you say it is of her own making?".

If you had remotely relevant things to say, you'd probably just say them instead of this kind of nonsense.

Oh yes, woman on man violence is taken less seriously than man on woman violence. Even to the point of Gardai taking it less seriously. One reason was demonstrated by the clown a couple of pages ago who called men who would report being slapped/grabbed a "snowflake" and similar. That's precisely the kind of thing that reduces the chances of men reporting these things and having it taken more seriously.

The simple difference is that over the years enough women have stood firm and demanded to have their concerns taken seriously. Men would benefit from doing the same and not ridiculing those who take the first step.

It's interesting how you'll never fail to notice when a men's issue is taken less seriously than a women's issue, and never fail to miss the reasons why it happens.

I’ve only read a few pages of this thread but I can honestly say, of the pages I have read and of all the posts you have put up, I haven’t the faintest f*cking idea what you are trying to say or what point you are trying to make.

LaFuton · 17-12-2019 07:01PM

has her ass given an impact statement yet

does it have its own channel

maybe it identifies as a hand

OK. I don't think it's that complicated.

If you want to know, you'll probably ask.

The same sense of entitlement that allowed that runner to believe he could slap her ass without repercussions is the same as that which killed Nadine Lott and allowed her murderer to offer a sorry when charged with her murder! :mad:

JanaMay · 19-12-2019 01:41AM

I've only skimmed the responses on here, but going back to the original point: the professional jounalist was at work and someone (for all intents and purposes, a client) touched her arse. So should all women at work accept 'a pat on the arse' from our customers? It happened to me me in my workplace, and yes I took the ****er to court... turned out he'd been giving 'pats on the arse' to his female colleagues for years! Prick!

Ah, look, It all seems to have gone a bit mad.

Salient facts are these:
A bloke slapped a woman on the arse thinking it was funny.
Turns out its not funny but it is a criminal offense.
Some people dispute that it should be a criminal offense for reasons.
Slapping arses without consent remains a crime and the bloke is being charged appropriately.
The end

Runner that slapped reporters ass, is facing criminal charges
