She is in the same way that Milo Yiannopoulos is playing a character. While they do believe what they are saying to a degree, they overstate it for shock value.

I took this loon to task over her insane tweet about Rory Best and surprise surprise im now blocked :rolleyes: Imagine having an agenda but an inability to debate that agenda? Mentally damaged loons.

What's your issue with it? He has gone to support the Irish rugby lads. He says he wants to be called as a character witness for the boys.
I think some people have issue with this, that it would have been better to be neutral.

Does anyone possibly think it is bad to harrass a girl and demean her for months on a forum?

In fairness, she's a woman, not a girl. Well able to dish it out too.

Shes in her thirties and she knows a thing or two about demeaning people.

She puts herself in the public sphere, fair game no?

She had no problem going on the radio, writing in her column and tweeting, slaughtering the men in the UCD Ag-Soc about the non-existent rating and ranking list that caused her to elicit a gutteral, visceral scream.

It's free publicity, I'd say she's happy out. There's only one thing worse than people talking about you...

Maybe you should stop abusing women then? That 'we' includes you I gather. Yeah, so just stop it. Thanks.

Rosemary McCabe - whose an attention seeker, changing her story’s from an event a number of years back, but she’s not as prominent like Lou Lou, just an ‘influencer’ which some strange people like - the soy boys-woke baes and third wave feminists

There’s a thread on her if you put it in search engine

Enough lunacy right here in this thread to keep me occupied for a while

soiseztomabel

Another perpetually outraged fool from Twitter.

Has a need to hitch her cart to every trendy issue to get attention and content and generate a few quid because she cant be arsed getting a proper full time job.

Twitter and lifting weights with the idiots who follow you online doesn't count

And yet the hypocritical gaping asshole has no problem objectifying men herself in the media.

greatest hypocrite ever from this interview

here are some "gems"
#SquadGoals / three people you'd invite to a dinner party?
Amy Schumer, Kristen Wiig, and Max Irons for my sexual pleasure. I will objectify him all day every day

The most annoying quality in people?
Standing too close to me on public transport. Oh, and when they don't agree with every word I say. That really irritates me.
And the best?
I find most people to be inherently kind. (I also like to when they agree with every word I say.)

Any goals for 2017?
Same as every year. I want to be healthy and happy. And to get the shift of Max Irons. WHERE ARE YOU, MAX? WHERE ARE YOU?
Dream sandwich?
Me, Max Irons, and Alex Pettyfer.

Reverse what she says to a guy saying this about a woman - she'd be having her daily meltdown on twitter over it

Thanks for the answers earlier.

I thought it was just an Irish saying. I googled it and found out what is "not" a woke bae.

I wonder would the hardliners like O'Neill and MacCabe approve of the way Trudeau pandered to their ilk by using "humankind"? Or would they see past his piss poor effort to appear virtuous.

John Waters has been a bit quiet of late. She's filling a gap in the market.

You're probably confusing it with the Corkonian 'wake up bai', an expression used to bring a sleeping lad from Cork from a slumber to an alert state. Can be used when late for school, or when being asked to leave a very late bar.

Easy mistake.

It’s harassment to call someone out on blatant misandry now? Should the same rule be applied to misogyny? (Or rather the new definition of it that’s being pushed by certain folk)

Do you believe someone should be accountable for their bad behavior? Without exceptions based on things like gender?

A number of the items on that list are just ****ing nuts

And that’s in a fairly mainstream magazine

And then seems to have a huge problem when it came to apologizing after it turned out to be complete nonsense

Yeah. Bonkers:

14. He cries "not all men" when you talk about rape culture or objectification. And sure, we're not saying all men are X or Y. But derailing a very important conversation just to protect the image of men is undermining and frustrating.

Oh. Sorry for frustrating you. Please feel free to lump me into a group of sex offenders so that you feel better. That's really going to get me on your side. FFS.

My opinion is that a lot of these hardcore feminists belittle sex crimes. They fail to see how utterly horrible it is for a person to be associated with such crimes and as you say be lumped in with sex offenders.

If they cannot see that they cannot possibly understand the seriousness of these crimes.

Sky King

I see the same arguement over and over again:

Feminist: men are so rapey.
Man: Hang on... I'm not rapey. We're not all rapey. Why are you implying I'm rapey?
Feminist: OMG I KNOW YOU ARE NOT RAPEY BUT THIS IS AN IMPORTANT DISCUSSION TO HAVE [goes to twitter] #notallmen
Man: WTF?

I still haven't resolved this. Maybe someone can explain it to me.
