That's disturbing reading. Cult like behaviour.

Absolutely.
I'll caveat it by a response I left in my other comment.
80 to 90pc of the people were cool n quite reasonable. N patient with my ignorance.
It was the loudest n most neurotic 10pc that reinforced the bully and us v them mentality.
Most of those seem to have trouble making friends in general in regular life. Lots of codependent tendencies. Anger, youth and low self esteem make a volatile combination.

Louise O Neill is just annoying , and probably mad she cant get a man to actually stick with her ( Imagine any poor soul that would try)

I lovingly label her " Ireland's hemorrhoid" :pac:

professore

My first experience of a feminist was back in the late 80s in college in Dublin. A rather fat journalist student started telling me about fish and bicycles and all kinds of hate towards men in general. She had a sound flatmate who by the end of the year was as fat and bitter as she was. After that I steered clear of women who introduced themselves as feminists.

In latter years they could be spotted by instantly ignoring my wife in any conversations because she stopped working outside the home when our kids were smaller to mind them. Ironically my wife is a qualified engineer and smarter than 99% of them.

I'm sure there are some reasonable ones, I like Christina Hoff Sommers, but in haven't met any in real life.

I cannot think of a single instance of a man of my acquaintance describing someone as a "cool girl".

You might say 'nah she's cool' as in the context that she is sound, easy going friendly, not a bitch basically, etc, but according to Looney Lou, its because she is good for 'oral sex and farting' :eek:

The mind boggles how did idiot is in mainstream media. A dangerous, poisonous and warped raving lunatic. As for her gombeen idiot editor Mr Boland..... jesus wept.

With these Grade A losers in such publicly oriented jobs (and presumably well paid) it gives me hope too that i can steal a living and if i keep believing my opening will come

Gluten: can't drink beer. Vegan: can't drink lattes.

Afflicted with extreme cognitive dissonance. Can do all of the above while getting hysterically offended that you pointed out a fairly basic logical flaw in the argument?

All of womankind. At least he seems to think they're all hanging on his every word.

Jeremy Clarkson is funny though and most of his stuff is pure satire. LON is deadly serious.

The comparisons with Clarkson and Myers don't work as the former is satire and the latter is well researched. And both can string a sentence together.

Ye’re missing my point. She doesn’t have to be exactly like them or anything like them. My point was that newspapers have always tried to have provocative writers on the payroll. The way they provoke may vary.

His 300 followers.....most of whom are probably inactive anyway.

Ergo...he's talking to the wall.

I go on twitter once every few months and have a look at some of my friend's twitters. Daily posts without any likes or retweets. I suppose talking anonymously on a message board is just as weird to some people.

I'm still confused by the actual title of her latest rant: "What whats constitutes being a 'cool girl'".

Is it a typo by a sub-editor?

Pretty much. Men are so terrible y'know. Potential rapists, even the "woke" ones.* The self flagellation of the male "feminist" in full flow.

There's another Irish writer muppet whose name mercifully escapes, who goes on about hating the smell of his own maleness and how he tried to wash it off in his adolescence. Oh and that quarter wit was part of a panel offering help and guidance to young men at gigs and festivals.






*anyone over the age of 30 using the term "woke" in earnest should be taken out and summarily executed for the good of humanity.

It kind of makes you wish for some global catastrophic event. Then we'd see who steps up to the plate to rebuild. I wonder will it be the gender studies majors and the "woke" males?

What the hell is a woke male?

Was I one an hour ago?

It almost certainly wouldn't be. People and nebulous name gazing philosophies like that can only exist in times of comfort and safety, some might suggest times of over comfort.

And they only appear in the most open and free societies, which they then proceed to tear to shreds.

I suspect it's another phase in the life cycle of civilisations, or at least social philosophies within them. In this case a coming to the end of one phase. When more and more people become more and more unsure and lack confidence in their culture a reset is on the way. Great cultures and empires are built on self confidence and fall when that leaks away.

Can it be contained at this stage? Is it terminal? It's very hard to have confidence in ones culture when everything is relative, there is no truth and the western academia has been focused on pulling down the very society which allowed it to flourish for 40 years. Maybe it would be no harm if the reset button was hit.

Male feminists are groomers. Trying to soften their image, trying to say "I'm different, I understand you", to get them onside, to get beyond the woman's defense mechanism. They show all the same traits as child groomers.

Roger Hassenforder

Men are very simple and will try anything to get their hole, usually a situational deployment of whichever behaviour is thought to have the best probability of getting into a ladies pants. Any behaviour of a male is attributable to him trying to ride someone somewhere, or appear more rideable.

"Woke" is the latest tactic for championship players, finding themselves in a cup draw and trying to score against premier league opposition.



I may be utterly utterly wrong.

Uniformly creepy anemic types

I have a conspiracy theory that says the vast majority of these feminist twitter accounts are not actually backed by real people but are infact autonomous AI agents that have become self aware in some server farm owned by the Almighty GOOG. They're trying to cause the extinction of mankind by attempting to phase out heterosexual relationships.
