Racist, sexist choice in music

Instead of just screaming racism and sexism why don't they look at the real reasons they are top ?

I don't think music fans give a sh1t about the race or sex of the artist - if the music is good , it's good simple as that.

Maybe most top artists are white and male as this is the largest demographic in Ireland in the music industry anyway ?

I'm tired of this 'looking for issues where there is none' nonsense.

So white people affair make pretend that is now woke and diverse; white people stop caring and woke diverse people don't really care about this make pretend.

Who would have thought that it works like that in the real world?

GALWAY CAMOGIE CAPTAIN Sarah Dervan says the financial inequality between men and women in sport is “Stone Age” stuff and says she wants to see more parity between the genders.

It was revealed that male players in the GAA receive over €3m in Government grants while their female counterparts are given just over €700,000 annually.

'It's hard to see how men got €3m and women only got €700,000... Stone Age stuff'

This old chestnut again.

It’s obvious why the pay gap in sport between men and women is - more people watch men’s sport ! The closest the women come to the men for viewers is tennis and they don’t even play 5 sets

Amazing the way people pretend not to see this, surely the likes of Megan Rapinoe when she says "I earn way less than Messi, JUST BECAUSE I AM A WOMAN" - realise it's a crock of shyte ?

She must understand basic economics ?

Can't be emphasised enough. Middle-class and rich folk in ivory towers have no business telling a poor white person in Ohio or a poor black person in South Carolina what to think.

How many men play GAA compared to women ?
What was the average grant per player as thats the main thing to look at not the overall amount.

Mens GAA also generates more revenue both direct and indirect for the Government so thats also a factor as to why it may get a higher grant award.

The gaa and camogie association are fully different organisations.

GAA comprises male gaelic football, female too under lgfa, and and then hurling.

A load of comogie clubs are within a gaa club using their grounds and facilities, as well as the large stadiums for important matches.

It can't be simplified as men get this vs women get less, expecially when there women in the gaa and even outside those outside it benefit.

Whatever happened to this?

Quick scan through the article says anyone who wasn't onboard with a black female 007 is a "far right racist" and a "sickening troll"

"We've seen similar backlash in other properties to other actors who are not straight white men"

"Though nothing had been confirmed, far right toxic fans complained that a Black woman had been given the title of 007, which had previously only been used by white men"

I don't see an issue with Doctor Who being female, as the character is a shapeshifter.

Ghostbusters remade as all female - cringey pandering which you couldn't pay me to watch, but still, not illogical.

Black James Bond - fine by me at this stage since the original stories with him as a white man are long done.

But a female James Bond - just no.

Its a female 007 not a female Bond in the new film.
Bond will never be a woman.

I wouldn't have a problem with a female 007 if the character was in some way realistic but most of these female heroines are Mary Sue's.
120lb women wearing high heels beating the daylights out of 220lb men without barely a scratch, I'm not buying that.

Roger Moore was 51 years of age when he was wheezing his way around Moonraker. I find that pretty hard to buy tbh.

Not sure what weight Katie Taylor is, but I'd wager she'd beat the sh*te out of a lot blokes I know.

He was 57 when he finished up with A View to a Kill.
He had wanted to finish up his run as Bond much earlier as he felt he was too old but the producers kept asking him to return.
He was almost twice the age of his female co star (Tanya Roberts) in A View to a Kill.
Carole Bouquet was only 24 in For Your Eyes Only, Moore was 53 !
It became a running joke.

Maybe it will be as successful as female Ghostbusters. I think about 27 people went to see that movie. 9 of which left after 39 mins

Woke - broke.

007 is synonymous with Bond.

008 or 009 or whoever being a female secret agent though - I don't see an issue with that idea, but I can only imagine the cringey way it'd be handled.

Want there already a Jane Bond?

Anyway, as far as I know, it's meant to be a pseudonym - different people taking the identity of the 'James Bond' name as well as the 007 license.

Ive seen the names Emma Thompson and Gillian Anderson touted - neither of whom are young.

Watched Rosamund Pike in I Care A Lot - she could do a job. She's already been in a Bind movie, too.

Now, who to play Mr. Moneypenny...

Rather strangely my dad had a handbag in the eighties. A little leather one. He would use it during the summer when he didn't have enough pockets.

This is a rather large rugby player type from the country. So not very effeminate.

Sorry not relevant but a strange memory now I think about it. You often see French men with them as well.

Maybe men should have handbags. They have backpacks, why not.

Sorry this is off topic, but you've just reminded me of being in America several years ago, and trying to rent a car. I was with a friend, sitting across the table from this middle-aged American, big lump of a man – this was in the state of Wisconsin, they eat a lot of cheese, so you can imagine. Anyway, I think his name was Nick, took our drivers' licences and payment, stroked his beard for just a moment, and agreed that everything seemed to be in order. He said "Follow me, I'll show your your car"
Then he got up, picked up something, I can only describe it as a clutch purse with a short strap, which he unceremoniously tried to squeeze over one of his enormous shoulders. I got an awful fit of giggles.

It wasnt the handbag itself, it was just so unexpected.i think he used the handbag to carry all the keys. They probably are quite useful!

inforfun · 02-05-2021 9:23am

I remember these things being rather popular some decades ago.
Handy enough for family dads on holidays to keep all the passports and other crap in before everything went digital and you were somewhere where it was shorts and t-shirt weather.
But a full size handbag... get out of here.

Here's her stats. A massive 5 foot 5 inches tall.

Rodger Moore was 6 foot 2 inches.

I'm sure she cudda given him a black eye providing she had a ladder handy.
