Do men need a license to be allowed socialise (MOD NOTE IN OP)

That is called mitigation, it is based on facts, not emotion

That's not why we wear seat belts

How did the.media get it so wrong? How are they so.far removed from ordinary people in the street?

Is it.going to take everybody emailing/complaining for them to see how wrong they are?

In a thread where the vast majority of posters are saying that the don't agree with the media narrative, that posters are sticking up for the men that they know, you think it's completely ok to come on and put down Irish women, completely generalising women from different countries by your own stereotypical thinking?

'neither are all women'

And then you completely generalise women and suggest that they are all the same based on nationality🙄

As with most things on the internet, what is said is rarely representative of the real world. Oh, don't get me wrong. I think a lot of people spend so much time on the internet that they start to believe the opposite, and feel that the echo chambers they participate in, justify their views.. it's one of the big dangers of the internet. It's also one of the reasons I'm glad I'm old enough to remember society when the internet wasn't a common thing. Gives some perspective.

I'd say that most Irish women are still firmly rooted in the ground, not prone to the flights of fancy and without the overly dramatic views that is common online. Most know the men in their lives are good people. And they, themselves, don't have the wide range of negatives experiences claimed to be so common. etc. Because such behaviors aren't that common in Ireland. They're common in other countries but that's just women adopting the negatives from elsewhere to justify their harsh expectations. Feminist propaganda has a lot to answer for, as does the influence that marketing has had on social conditioning. Globalisation of ideas/concepts due to the internet, as if the experiences of people in America reflects heavily on the experiences in Ireland. It's a shame that the conditioning has been allowed to continue for so long without resistance. The very institutions that should be examining, and fighting against mass generalisations, double standards, and lies, have long been focused on promoting the ideology. However, I would say that Irish women are still capable of recognising the difference between the BS and the reality of the situation. For now.

The problem for Ireland, though, is that the media has decided to champion certain agendas, and they throw out loads of reports or one sided discussions on TV or the Radio, battering people with their messages, that women are living in a world where they're victimized. It will take a while before this changes most women's views, but it's certainly having an effect on the younger generations. Then throw in the attention to women's studies courses in places like Trinity, which exaggerate issues, teaches them as gospel, and that's another range of conditioning to shape the future.

As for Eastern Europeans, they're simply behind the curve, and will, eventually, adopt the same crap that is going on here. Personally, I'd loved Asian women for the same reasons you mentioned, but the truth is that they're also behind the curve, and many are very enthusiastic to accept/believe that they're victims due to their gender, and that men are the enemy. Feminist drivel at it's finest.

But for now, at least, I don't believe Irish women are there yet. Oh sure, there's some who have fully embraced the feminist agenda, but many more are allied to the original concept of being a feminist, being more interested in equality, and less interested in playing the victim, regardless of all the benefits involved. I don't see that lasting, due to the internet, and the media, but for now, there's still a significant portion of Irish women willing to apply common sense rather than embracing emotional outrage.
