Allison Morris is on RTÉ radio fairly often and clearly has the same 'blind eye to the telescope' attitude to the new misogyny. Huge silence and denial.
It is different from, but reminiscent of, a sad incident late in Gay Byrne's Radio 1 career. On the radio and on the Late Late show he gave a voice to so many people, particularly women, on the changing attitudes to sex, sexuality, pregnancy, authority, religion, etc etc etc. The public conversation he facilitated had a huge influence on the opening of the collective mind around social issues.
Some time in the late 1990s came the morning he introduced a guest we'd all be interested to hear. A middle aged paedophile 'Stephen' who liked picking up 14 year old boys for sex. He whinged on about his feelings and his needs, Gaybo fawned on him, the hair on my arms stood up. And then later, not sure whether the next day or that day, after the interview, Byrne's fury. People were still so intolerant in Ireland, when 'Stephen' left the studio he found some listener had phoned the cops, and there were two officers waiting to take him for an chat.
I have no idea how that went, but found the indignant wittering comparing him to people who used contraception and to gays and to divorcees and to unmarried women who had children both horrific and revealing.
The old joke used to be the Irishman stranded on a desert island asking 'is there a government here? I'm against it!'. We seem to have evolved a commentariat (often supported by public money) who ask 'are there protections for women and children? I'm against them!'
Sex is good, anyone who tells a man to keep it in his pants is bad.
