Pope Francis has called for the world to “act decisively” to stamp out human trafficking and female genital mutilation, which he called a “scourge.” The comments were made on Sunday as the Pope gave his weekly Angelus address to crowds at Saint Peter’s Square. “Today is the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital […]
Hollywood actor Sean Penn has said that men are “cowardly” for giving up their masculinity, saying that males should not have to become “feminised” to show respect to women. The remarks were made last week during an interview with the Independent, where Penn was asked about prior remarks he had made regarding masculinity in society. […]
Independent Cork TD Michael Collins has hit out at politicians who he claims seized on the death of Ashling Murphy to advance “sad points of view.” Following the killing of Murphy, a 23-year-old Offaly native, People Before Profit TD Bríd Smith took to the Dáil to lay culpability at the feet of Catholic schools for […]
Speaking in the Dáil this week, Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald decided to give it to the entire nation of Ireland with both barrels, dubbing the country’s past and present “ugly and dangerous.” “The roots of sexism and misogyny run deep,” she said. “The Ireland of religious dogma, that defined women as men’s property, […]

“Mainstream feminism supports root causes of sexual violence.”
In fairness, every other left wing hobby horse lobby group in Ireland already gets taxpayer funding, so why should the prostitutes, of all people, be left out? Well, they’re left out no longer. The full, ahem, ins and outs of how the money was channelled from your pockets into the pockets of the campaign to […]
“So, I have to conclude that it happened because I am a woman. Would this have happened if I had worn a suit, and a tie?”
The big problem about writing about “period poverty”, as a man, is that, well, men don’t have periods. While some of us may, on occasion, have been deputised to purchase sanitary items for the women in our lives, we don’t need, or use them, ourselves. So the idea that period poverty is an all-pervasive issue […]
Interesting fact of the day, for those of you who don’t think so much about the words you use: “Amen”, which christian people customarily say at the end of a prayer, doesn’t actually have anything to do with men.
