to have commented on this?

Cousin of mine. Male, 40's, married with kids, Irish so not massively feminist but a fella who works with women (nurse) and has a wife he appears to love (although I have my doubts about certain aspects of this).

has just posted a picture equivalent to this

Not the exact one but a female DJ with the same caption. Tagging a fellow male cousin who has "hahahahahd" all over it

I commented, "I don't get the joke."

I know, I know, FB is the work of the devil but I'm still as surely what people write on FB is representative of society?

Disclaimer: I only have 60 friends and as a huge feminist/LGBT supporter none are bigots. Or so I thought.

Oh, and apparently Irish women are more likely to get equal pay, although that's started going backwards in the last couple of years unfortunately.

Great post, you complain about a picture that stereotypes women and then stereotype all Irish men!?

this thread is funny. it's like when you find out your problem is a whole different one than you though it was.

it reminds me of the time in high school when i made a sarky dig at the whole class about how they lick another girl's arse all the time (to me it was so obvious and thought there would be a few others who could see it too) only to have one girl respond "you know, you really are very cold and sarcastic booyhoo. it's not nice" and the rest of the class all nodding and agreeing.

that was uncomfortable.

i'm over it now, but have ever since curbed the sarcasm

I can point to umpteen people in my Irish rural life who would discredit your offensive statement. I suggest you surround yourself with less fucknuggets m'dear.....

I thought it was funny, it struck me in the sense that, some people still do hold on to the 'women must stay in kitchen, ug' thing, but things are not that way anymore, hence the female d.j. I quite liked it, I didn't see it as being anti-feminist, not from my point of view anyway.

But yeah, much funnier stuff on facebook that doesn't make one look like a knob.

Well I laughed... Sorry

I thought it was funny, its just the sort of thing I would post on my fb profile

I am Irish too, where I am from in semi rural Ireland most of my friends are wahm. I find that post mildly amusing in that, meant to be offensive but still mildly amusing way. What I was whinging about to my husband yesterday was how virtually every sweeping brush, hoover, washing machine, cleaning agent ever is marketed towards women as if a man has never lifed one before. That I find upholds a cultural stereotype and I find it offensive.

And in fact, because of the way the Irish tax system works, I suspect there are more SAHD's in Ireland than there are in many other countries.

I think you are right there I could be wrong but I am sure I heard that we have more women working in our economy than men for the first time ever since the demise of the construction industy and high male unemployment.

I think its funny too.
