    There’s no amount of dogs abuse enough for Kelly. She’s a hack of the highest order.

    I’m talking about Boards.ie. Another discussion in this forum has to do with abusing Laura Whitmore for trying to earn a crust.

    So you choose to ignore the women who are critical of bloggers because it doesn’t fit your narrative.

    Maeve Higgins, Alison Spittle, and every other Irish female comedian as well on the various comedy threads. There’s a serious waft of misogyny from a relatively small cohort of angry men around here.

    That’s absolute rubbish. People, both sexes, are slated if they’re terrible. The way it’s always been.

    I wonder whether many women consider Alison Spittle funny?

    It’s typical of the Patriarchy that only judges women on their looks: the women who aren’t judged to be conventionally beautiful are judged too harshly in a manner no man would ever be judged and women who are considered to be conventionally beautiful who post on social media are deemed to be whores or slappers.

    Yes because women never judge other women. Any if they do, it is internalised patriarchy, right?

    Though I often don't agree with the bugger, he's often more right than wrong and nails it here.

    I’d say a fair few enjoyed her tv show ‘Nowhere Fast’, it was decent enough.

    Although, I’m sure there’ll be a few along give the “credit” to her, male, co-writing partner.

    The tide is turning…

    Women do judge other women, often by standards determined by the Patriarchy, yes. It’s internalised misogyny.

    As does Ray Darcy. And the person who gets most abuse is Joe Duffy.

    There isn't always a gender agenda.

    Don't forget Tubridy!

    Sarah McInerney gets a lot of praise and rightly so as she is doing a terrific job.

    So it's very lazy of that poster to bring gender into it.

    The overwhelming majority of criticism aimed towards female public figures is based on their looks or by using gender-specific slurs.

    If you mean Rocky’s wife, she mentions patriarchy or misogyny in ever second post.

    Lads, are you seriously saying that a man posted this:

    JohnnyFlash just loves saying ''angry men'' over and over again and has a little tickle in his belly when EmmetSpiceland thanks it, which is always.

    It's a gimmick at this stage.

    What idiot thought people reviewing free stuff would give us honest reviews. Their only qualifications being their looks or the fact they pretend struggle with the same issues as the idiots watching them.

    And now they play up to teenagers claiming sexism or some plop to give their fans a cause to fight.

    Fools and their money are easily parted, tv shows used to tell idiots what they needed to buy. The products from the companies who paid the tv shows. Its just a new way to take money from idiots.

    I'm pretty sure you've just described advertising, in a few different forms, but all the same thing really.
