    maybe it's just me but there seems to be a dearth of good-looking women on irish TV lately


    irish politics is a complete write-off in that department

    has the equality pendulum swung too much in favour of older or less-attractive but competent ladies?

    You're really reaching to pin this on equality.

    You're right. Gone are the days of the Playboy bunnies running the country :(

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    RTE does not employ females on their looks, although their charter says that they aspire to a minimum standard of "possibly from behind."

    It's hardly raining good-looking men either.

    Not that I would know what makes a man good-looking or anything.

    This kind of casual sexism isn't to be tolerated here.
