Louise O'Neill on manned mission to Mars: "Why not go to Venus?" (MOD Warning post 1)

Asks her Twitter followers to do her debating for her in relation to a question asked of her on Instagram about the gender pay gap. "I'm too tired to murder him right now, any takers?" IE I don't have the intellectual capacity to debate or back up my statements. https://twitter.com/oneilllo/status/928953179370328064 MOD…

Rosemary McCabe is a woman who went from high profile, well paying gig--to a gym trainer. Because the blogging thing didn't work out.

Cos that patreon didn't pay the bills like she thought it would. :rolleyes: (13 patrons and...counting...).

She currentl has a beef with Ray Shah...who's famous for pulling himself off on live telly.

'Projecting insecurities'. Sums you lot up to be fair

I skimmed that link.. and even at that I couldn't last more than about a minute or so!

It varies so wildly between Self-pitying, self-absorbed, and "go girl" nonsense from both of them that it's physically painful to listen to!

Both are desperate to get any semblance of relevancy - what was her high paying gig? hardly the blogging thing was pulling in much

Is that Mac Cabe woman anyway near as annoying as she looks in the thumbnail pic? Dunno if I can bring myself to listen despite my curiosity.

She used to work for one of the Irish fashion magazines. Worked as the editor of the magazine, until she went into 'blogging' and being an...ahem...social influencer.

Eventually, the blogging wasn't paying the bills-never enough updates for one. And she probably thought her 'message' would reach beyond Ireland and so allow her to make money. It didn't So cue patreon (she advertises it, but it doesn't make revenue) and no money there either-so she became a gym trainer.

To be honest it's none of our business who she is dating and from listening to Newstalk this fella comes across well and quite informative on what he does.

I don't agree with lot of **** for writes and she is a user and abuser in that regard but her personal life outside what she writes should be left to her and if the 2 get on that's between them

Oh God no-it's Writer's week there. I hope she's not ruining that too.

I imagine Germaine Greer saying rape is 'just bad sex' has probably left LON confined to bed today.
