A boonch a fookin shite thes es!
Will the whining never end? Not two weeks ago, some carping harpy was
bellowing in my face because Aussie men don't stand for preggos on
busses, and now this comes out of Ireland (Presumably the RPI).
The way they write about it, you'd think Irish men were shirking some
unstated obligation by not stopping for their soft little bottoms. But
they have no such duty. They stopped in the past out of generosity,
and women became so accustomed to that generosity that it's now some
sort of crime to withhold it.
And how are we supposed to consider these idiots "equal" if they still
whine of what we don't do for them? If we have to do it for them, then
by extension, we can do it, and they can't. How equal is that? And
does an Irish man whine because no woman stopped to help him change a
tire? I doubt his mates would tolerate much of that at the pub.
Rather, he changed it himself and got going, or called some service to
do it. But you can be certain he didn't use the woman's method of
changing a tire, which is to walk to the side of the road and stand.
And has it ever occurred to these self-important bimbos that maybe we'd
still do things for them if they'd treat us with an ounce of respect?
To ask is to answer. Rather, they insult us at every opportunity,
claim to be equal, then bleat when we don't do for them what they
presumably can't do for themselves.
