"As a society, we're all wildly sexually hypocritical" - E. Weinstein

Pre-thread cliff notes:

The gist of this thread in a line:

Female ministers in parliament have for the first time in Irish history, authority to implement all the right decisions - but are failing to do so, because of their own covert instability/hypocrisy - that's what I'm saying.

And that's why I posted this in "current affairs".

I actually struggle to make it through an interview unless there's some kind of visual interface.

Someone posted this a while ago and I never listened cause it was an audio link.

But here's the full she-bang.



1:01:40 - is the time, cause lame ass boards.ie web formatting doesn't facilitate time stamping.

For the uninitiated, Eric Weinstein is some kind of intellectual guru, and Ashley Mathews is a skin flick actress.

As to the statement, so beautifully put.

"As a society, we're all wildly sexually hypocritical - and that's normal.
It's how the civilian world has always been, and is likely to be that way for the foreseeable future".

So, you may know from such other threads as,

- "Helen McEntee and friends".
- "Francis Fitzgerald and friends".
- "Jennifer Carrol McNeill and friends".
- "Catherine Martin + others".

i.e. I'm blatantly targeting female members of the Irish parliament.

Reason being, dudes can implement decisions, but often times not the right ones.

"Behind every great man is a great woman" - whilst a little oversimplified, the general allusion is that women have predisposed sensitivity (in general) to determine suitable decision making, and the dudes have predisposed authority/assertion (in general) to actually carry out the decisions.

It could equally be said that, "behind every great woman is a great man" - but the general allusion here is that, addressing societal and national hypocrisy in policy and therefore national well being, is ultimately rooted in that which we all think about, all the time - non-stop - pretty much underpins our entire functioning, but refuse to acknowledge and if asked outright, will flatly deny;



This is what Weinstein means when he says, "as a society, we're wildly sexually hypocritical".

In fact I can basically anticipate a slew of responses to this OP to the effect of, "mate, get your mind out of the gutter - do you never stop thinking about this depravity?" - meanwhile, they probably have pornhub open on another tab.
