Won it? I had to follow my better instincts and vote yes despite the dark joy it would bring to my heart to see the likes of LON digest a No victory. It is a shame LON and the No campaigners cannot both lose.

Well if it's a landslide victory for Yes then they do both lose.

The No people lose the election.

People like LON have to accept that loads men in Ireland fully support their position and give up their "men controlling our bodies" BS.

Yes and no. Normal people didn't need the new data from the referendum result. People like LON will never accept "men" as an institution are anything other than hostile threats.

'If nothing else, we have started a national conversation about women and how Ireland has treated them, how men in positions of power conspired to control our bodies and police our sexuality.'

I would be fairly sure no man wants to have any involvement with LON's sexuality. She lives at home with her long suffering mother doing her washing.

Ah, the opinion pieces always have a few doozies, but overall it is a decent paper.

Agree, they've been click baiting for years.

They're really no different to any other paper.

unfortunately...yeah, the opinion pieces are where the loonies go to claim they're being oppressed by envelopes... (You have to lick em-and even if you use the self seal ones they are designed to remind ppl of wombs, because you put stuff in em, and take stuff out).

I mean, Lon is the one who claimed Sweet Valley High and barbies created her eating disorder...

Never mind boys were playing with He-man and GI Joes...and didn't have that issue.

A great day for country, not so LON.

She now has to accept what she shouts out is BS.

I'm sure she find another avenue though, but she be crying tomorrow, but not in happiness, no matter what she says.

You still have to go to a doctor to get a termination. And he might be a man-so oppression.

She has the 'pay gap' to whine about-and Toxic masculinity-but yeah, this is a spanner in the works.
Until the next rape case where the man proves beyond all reasonable doubt he was in Spain at the time of a woman being 'raped' in Belfast and thus is completely innocent-then she can whine about the 'rape culture' in Ireland...even though we have nothing to do with Northern Ireland.

But facts don't help Lon.

I'd say that will be her next campaign now. In a way she's probably disappointed today, one less thing for her to whine and pretend to be oppressed about.

65 percent of men voted yes-70 percent of women.

Despite the margin of error based on data and calculations which would put that on an even keel--it's oppression.

There's a lot of 'feminist' bloggers who'll find their brand is in trouble now-without the 8th, many of their careers are dead.
Unless of course legislation isn't to their liking.

You'd swear by some of the social media posts that women have won a victory over men. " so proud of the women of Ireland" etc

Do they even realise that men voted yes too?

Engreat souls condemned for all eternity,
Sustained by immoral observance a domineering deity,

Could see her duetting with Tom Araya on this track...

Shackled
My princess
Dangling in distress
Here
To discipline
My sole purpose never ends
Bleeding
On your knees
My satisfaction is what I need
The urge
To take my fist
And violate every orifice

€105 fine? Sounds like a bit of a saving over the Tubridy licence.

That article is something else. She seems to be a very paranoid person. Suspicious of her grandfather, now she's wondering which of her neighbours are against her...

That's a bargain-the licence is 160. I'd say don't pay it again, save yourself 55 euros.

(Joking-in case the boards crew get legal threats. This is a joke).

Ah, just a bad joke about me being too busy over the winter watching tv to get a license..e5 fine and e100 costs..

Worth every penny of it if it keeps tubs in the job..I'm hoping Louise might knock another documentary or two out of the oppressed weaker sex this year too..

Money well spent..

Yeah, I'd already bought the license too..

It’s like the women’s march she was going on and on about saying ‘let’s burn the place down’ And then she doesn’t go as she had appointments (and made sure it was with female docs/shrinks etc)
