‘At that time the assumption was that men were the better sex and better at everything.’ There were no assumptions. The reality was that the married man was the breadwinner. Married men received higher wages in jobs such as the civil and public service. Women and SINGLE MEN received less. The radical feminists did not change Irish laws. These changes came in through the EU. If a married man was widowed ‘at that time’ he did not get a widow’s pension. Radical feminists are man haters. They are in control of the RTÉ narrative and did not allow discussion of the contentious Micheál Ó Leidhin court conviction. Silence. They feared a public outcry.

This case can be found in two online researched articles by Kevin Myers. Myers comes back when the need arises.
