Lad Culture

Robsweezie

what do you make of the whole 'lad culture' phenomenon? is this a thing that goes on in boards as well as real life? is laddishness a harmless thing or does it delve too much into sexism and misogyny? it originates from England but has this become an aspect of irish culture as well??

Do bloggers in CiF have to sign some sort of contact before contributing whereby they agree to blame liberal economics for everything that's wrong with the world?

This thread was started by a man. Most contributions are by men. A few weeks ago, women were complaining about misogyny on boards and you came on all guns blazing demanding examples not willing to listen to anyone.

You have serious issues. You're not the only one on Boards though.

Fcuk this ****.

If you have to resort to ad hominem attacks, frankly you're not worth my time, you've already lost.

Might I suggest a glass of water. See you in your next reincarnation.

There is nothing to be ashamed of for being part of the majority of people; straight, financially comfortable, into sports, enjoys alcohol. Let the boys play, it may be silly or reckless but if it doesn't harm anyone then there is no legitimate issue.

Does 'Lad Culture' apply to camp people leering over other lads, and making lewd offensive jokes about them, or is it only towards women?

How many people complained when 'Girl Power' et al came around? None.

Plenty did, and the funniest thing about it was they thought they were doing anything new or revolutionary! It was a sad cliché really, but not half as bad as the sex and the city phenomenon that came after it. Fcuk me that was annoying!

But hey, let's start the male bashing threads again, it's starting to become an all too common occurrence in AH.

By all means start a feedback thread about it so if you feel that strongly about it. If a certain culture of men behaving like cocks annoys me, I think people are entitled to call them out on behaving like twats. I wouldn't get too worked up about it though, it's not as facepalm inducing yet as the "cheeky chappy" phenomenon...

That "Ladbrokes life" advertising campaign is still shìte though, and Ladbrokes only have themselves to blame for that.

Thread started by a male poster and most contributions are from men. You should probably sort it out amongst yourselves.
