    Yet these groups (particularly feminists it would seem) are presented as homogenous lumps of ideology. Most mainstream feminism would concentrate on equality for both sexes but a lot of people seem to ignore that.

    What about in the case of 2 teenagers having underage consensual sex where the young lad could end up hauled before the courts?

    There was a woman from one of these womens groups saying on Matt Coopers show a while back the she was ok that the law favoured the girl at the moment which was a fairly shocking thing to say.

    I wonder how she would feel if it was her own son in this situation?

    And that is one person's opinion on it which most people wouldn't agree with and doesn't represent the opinion of every woman out there. What's your point?

    My point is ther is no push by womens groups to change a law that affects their sons lives.

    Your previous post mentioned they want equality which is good, but is this not a blatent case of inequality?

    I think his point is when one group of feminists comes out with a view that other groups disagree with the other groups tend to stay very quiet and dont publicly voice any opposition, might be why sometimes feminist groups all get tarred with the same brush. Im not saying generalising like this is right just why it sometimes happens

    Never explain yourself to someone who resorts to trolling. :)

    Trolling? I prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt here. I've certainly seen worse.

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

    That new Daft Punk song is distinctively mediocre.

    Yep. Loved it the first listen, liked it the second and now I've had my fill. Hoping the album is less flash in the pan.

    The Tron Legacy Soundtrack is only three years old. The songs a bit of an earworm. It's infectious but so is the winter vomiting bug.

    I actually like Windows 8.

    I don't think the Dark Knight was that good of a movie...it was decent - that is all

    I totally agree! But everyone loves it, for some reason.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,425 ✭✭✭Festy


    Smells like teen spirit is the most overrated song ever,Heart shaped box is 100 times better.

    Metallica are overrated,they have 3 good songs at best.Just because your were one of the first metal bands doesn't make you best. PS - please retire your past it not that you were ever any good in the first place.

    I'm sick listening to abortion every time I turn on the radio or TV, both sides shouting down the opposing person and for what because neither side will change their mind.

    We should just have a referendum to shut the lot of them up once and for all.

    Tommy Tiernan is NOT funny
    Mario Rosenstock as Michael Flatley is

    And what it does, I hope all abortion ads are banned from the airwaves. And that goes for both sides.

    I think Star Trek is deeply philosophical.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    Taximen get a right lashing on boards.ie

    But I love the banter with them and have great chats about all sorts of things. The foreign guys don't tend to talk, that's ok but the banter is great when it's there also.


    True there is always the odd asshole.
    But look around your workplace, your football team, your college class....there is always one!

    Taximen are no better or worse then any other group in Irish society.
    Just working men trying to earn money, that's all.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,012 ✭✭✭Kerplunk124


    I know this has probably been said a few times but dammit, I hate The Big Bang Theory
