    Genius is making complex ideas simple, not making simple ideas complex.

    Feminism caused all the stuff that’s going wrong in our politics today is certainly a simple concept.

    Feminism? Not really, although it does play a significant role. You can't go around discussing and demanding changes in social perception about identity, and not bear some responsibility for the aftershock changes.

    Identity politics in the US was encouraged by the feminist lecturers/researchers in US academia, as a platform to put forward their own views on gender/sex, gender roles, society, etc.

    Same with the embracing of hardline/extremist feminist viewpoints which came along with Fourth wave, which encouraged the intolerance of viewpoints that differed. I'm sure you've seen the way that feminist groups or SJW (which tend to have many of the more hardline feminists involved) groups, handle differing opinions/viewpoints on US campuses over the last decade or so? Yes?

    Feminist isn't terrible in itself, and TBH I feel we give it too much credit for the amount of change. However, feminism did create momentum. Like a mud slide on a mountain. Yes, there was the initial changes for women's issues, but the slide brings down a lot of other issues too.. many justified, but many others being destructive to society.

    "The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers"

    Socrates (469–399 B.C.)

    The more things change etc. etc.

    That child dancing for adult men should be taken into care and his parents prosecuted.

    Unfortunately Desmond Napoles [aka The Amazing Desmond] the boy in question lives in NY which has gone as ridiculously Liberal as California. His "parents" [pimps seems more appropriate since they're letting him associate with pedophiles and drug dealers]has been investigated several times for neglect, but CPS never finds anything wrong [despite him being malnourished enough to look like a starving Ethiopian child that you see in those charity advertisements around Christmas] mostly because they're afraid of being homophobes and such.

    Very true. The next generation will probably look at how we treated the homeless or those in Direct Provision the way we look at industrial schools.

    What a ridiculous statement - for starters the people in Dp shouldn’t even be on this island if the correct asylum process was followed, and as for the homeless...are you referring to genuine rough sleepers or the parasites with their hands out living in hotel rooms? Would be good to get a distinction there on where you think we are failing them

    Thankfully, the UN will be policing speech just in case we use use "problematic" terms...

    The backlash to this nonsense may happen sooner than we think...this tweet got a lot of attention...and not the good kind.

    This is the UN....in the middle of a global pandemic.

    The organization with many Countries guilty of Human Rights violations and Members. Those same Countries also head their Human Rights Council.

    Even when I lived in NY I always thought that UN land would make a great parking lot.

    It's not just something that happens in the US or online.

    Last year Deansgrange Library was due to host an event where Drag Queens from the Glitter Hole collective would read stories to young children.

    People questioned whether this was appropriate and the event was cancelled by DLR Country Council.

    The Council's first statement was that the event was not age appropriate or family friendly. Glitter Hole reacted with fury. Although Glitter Hole's logo is an idealised naked male arse they were adamant there was nothing sexual or age inappropriate about their show for young children

    DLR, most likely petrified of being denounced as homophobic, issued a new statement claiming that the event was a safety risk due to online hate speech; smoothly changing to narrative to one about the alt-right bogeyman.

    I find your view both strange and hilarious. For those of you who arent familiar with the "inappropriate" logo that CrankyHaus is referencing:

    KlhoLRWJ_400x400.jpg

    Are you sure its an "idealised" male behind? I cant say I spent much time looking at it to be sure. Nor would I have considered it sexual. Do you think Patricks bum from the kids Spongebob Squarepants would be be considered too sexy and offensive too?

    Your peers in the 50s thought the Magdalene girls were getting better than they deserved for being such tramps.

    His peers? You're comparing the 50s with modern Ireland? :rolleyes:

    The Magdalene Laundries come up far too much on boards, often being used inappropriate comparisons. There is no realistic comparison between the Laundries with either DP or the homeless situation. Honestly, I find it rather insensitive (I could use stronger words) considering what happened. (and if anyone from the next few generations thinks that there is a reasonable comparison, then they need their heads checked).

    Unless you're going to talk about aspects that weren't part of what made the laundries so bad in the first place?
