I was listening to the radio earlier and Moncrief was on talking to the oul one and the gay lad who are a regular fixture, giving relationship advice. Someone was complaining that a girl he fancied wouldn't go out with him because she wasn't attracted to men who wear makeup. Of course they start going on at how stupid a reason that is for not going out with someone, "sure everyone is fine and happy with the fact that gender and sexuality are totally fluid now", was their reasoning. Well, maybe most people are fine with that (generally among the younger and woker cohort), but what has that got to do with attraction? People have all sorts of foibles and quirks in who they will or won't be attracted to, but now it's a form of oppression to not want to go out with someone who acts in a way that doesn't appeal to their taste? Unreal.

What station was that bud?


The absolute fuckin state of those 2 cunts. That and yer wan giving the parental advice on a Tuesday were an immediate switch for me.

Pair of absolute wafflers who seem about as expert as an oul one hanging over her garden gate. I think the child expert is good (her squeaky voice can maybe grate a bit) because she is an actual expert and has real, solid advice to offer. The other two are just acting the maggot.

Newstalk is pure ragebait. That cunt ciara kelly along with spoofer French looking twat Coleman are insufferable tabloid trash.

Figured you'd like the parental one alright given your own status. No value to me.

Ya, Ciara Kelly is cuntish. She was worse at lunchtime on her own though.

Here's a thought that's no longer relevant. Remember when men retired at 65 and lazy women retired at 60? What if this gender business was as big now as it was then, could you legally be allowed to claim your pension and retire early if you said you identify as a woman?

Those fellas back then missed a trick.

This is an interesting one, I don't know if anyone remembers the story but it was a shitstorm back in November when people on social media claimed girls in a school in Carlow were told what to wear during PE because they were 'distracting' the male teachers, several politicians like Hazel Chu and Ruth Coppinger spread the story, as well as journalists from the likes of The Irish Times and The Journal.

If I was one of the male teachers I'd be looking at legal action as the reporting and social media posts heavily implied labelling them as paedophiles when it turns out nothing of the sort was said.

Typically, the ruling that there's no actual evidence of it happening has largely been ignored by the people who spread the story in the first place.

Like many cases of its type, the "no smoke without fire" excuse will be used and that will be that.

I see new Zealand have entered a 43 year old transwoman laurel hubbard into the women's weightlifting team which no doubt will spark a bit of excitement. Perhaps a bit old for weightlifting but I wonder if only transitioning 9 years ago will keep the male advantages?

I really can't wait for it to become the norm for transgender athletes to compete with females in these competitions. It'll definitely get more eyeballs on the product in a 'two dogs fucking on the side of a road and I can't look away' curiosity way.

Must go back and see what we were saying about it in here. I remember it though and I think a lot of people were saying it was overblown from the beginning although I don't think I was one of those.

And then the Journal went and deleted all the comments calling them out for being one of the chief ringleaders in the cicrus that followed the initial story.

It'll get to a stage whereby all it takes is some fella getting wrongly accused and ending his life over these types of accusations. Nobody will give a shit either as evidenced by the lack of empathy on the part of the multiple accusers in this case.
