Pet Peeves

[Blackout]

I managed to walk past the protest too and believe me none of those hairy man-hating yobs are getting harrased.

Doing wonders for the "not all men" cause there alright! 

I'm not part of the "not all men" clique or any other hash tag a bunch of raging morons are a part of. I'm just tired of constantly being branded evil for being a man and most of all, I have a particular hatred for men who sympathise with these man hating gobshites because let's face it, these idiots were devoid of any female attention before they jumped on the "men r trash" bandwagon.

Agreed. You are unlikely to see David Goggins marching in purple and questioning masculinity.

You are very likely, on the other hand, to see limp wristed limpets with murky proclivities of the loin (sorry, I've been up to my neck in Nabokov all week)
who haven't had a ride in months donning the sash, so to speak.

There is certainly no lack of people of both/all genders in the world who are a little too fond of just stating any old thing that pops into their head without the slightest concern for whether it reflects reality or not.

Most men who advocate for this kind of thing are doing so in the vain hope that they might one day get their little chap in some where.

It can't be both and all, grammar forbids it (Jaysus he's a grammar Nazi as well as a Nazi lads).

See that's the thing, there's nothing but male bashing in the media currently.

Newstalk had a woman on this morning who spoke very eloquently about the problems some women face but was basically saying the odds of these terrible things happening are minimal. Why are all of the radio stations, newspaper outlets etc etc flooded with these constant stories vilifying men for all sorts?

Another popular way of skewing things was that violence is committed by men 90 percent of the time. Yeah OK let's discuss another statistic; what are the percentages of false rape/sexual accusations between men and women? I'd wager that it would be heavily weighted towards women but I would never use it as a stick to beat ALL women with.

Apparently same sex couples have higher rates of domestic violence than opposite sex couples.

[Caomhaoin]

BBC Sport blow up every ALLEGED racist remark made on a (usually) soccer field as if it is the most heinous crime imaginable, provided the injured party is not white.

There are now in existence several sacred groups who must never be challenged, abused or disagreed with, the exceptions being outliers who go against the grain like Candace Owens, Wilfred Zaha or whomever. You're white, you're a man, you like a bit of tuna salad over a curry wurst, move over and kiss the ring. Simple as that.  The consequences of this will reveal themselves with time.

I can prove that what you say is true.

David goggins is a steroid taking psychopath who's only goal on life is to run it seems. Have a pint and a sausage roll once in a while ya cunt!

[Caomhaoin]

I don't think he takes steroids, he's as lean as fuck, but he is not mentally stable. Still though, going from a fat 23 stone mess into what he is now is unbelievable. He has a few guided workouts on YouTube, the last one I did I got three blood blisters and I didn't step outside the front room.

The owner of some NFL team (a totally average physical specimen) invited him to live with him for a month as his personal trainer had me in stitches on the Joe Rogan show.

'He made me run 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours' 😂😂😂

[Blackout]

I have no idea what that would achieve except bad hips and knees when you get older.  I'm happy doing my 10k twice a week to justify my binge eating/drinking habits.

[astfgyl]

I'm sort of peeved at how bad all you health freaks are making me feel about myself. 30 years on the fags, about 20 on the green and several cans a night as well as eating whatever the fuck and driving everywhere is starting to make me feel a bit unfit and I know the time is coming as evidenced by the beginnings of a fat belly coming on in the last few months. Getting close to the magic 40 now and something must be done I suppose or I'll just be one of those fat and broke up auld cunts. See ye all soon in the fitness thread I suppose

[Eoin McLove]

I grow ever more irritated by the format of TV shows like  TheGreat British Bakeoff, The Great British Menu and The Great Pottery Throwdown. Why do they feel the need to shoehorn in a comedian/comedienne as an extra presenter on these shows? I see there's a new one coming out soon about jewellery making, 
which could be really interesting, but of course they have that unfunny Yank one wedged in for pointless, unfunny comedic value. The ad already has me put off.

He entire schtick is that she's very straight faced, she has a kid and she's an alcoholic. Really cutting edge stuff.

[Carnage]

Who's that? If it's Katherine Ryan then she's quite shite, yeah.
