Honest question Buzzo, how comes you only ever post on these Female rights threads on Eirecore?
Eirecore is much more than Female rights threads....let's talk about other stuff too.
I don't like most of the bands that people talk about round here. I don't really post much on Thumped either these days Janer, but I wanted to show Nooly some solidarity when I saw the reaction to her post as I felt shit last time I ended up fighting this on my own. I couldn't give a shit anymore to be honest. I'll fight to the death, and happily, as I am avoiding my thesis (which deals with violence against women, surprise surprise!!).
Ed- I have corroborated your point that men are damaged and affected by sexual abuse too, I just don't want to dwell on it in a conversation about sexism where I'm trying to make the point that it's something that affects women rather than men. Sexism. Not childhood abuse, sexism. If someone was making child abuse jokes, I would feel the need to point out that anyone- male or female- on the forum is affected by it. If I feel the joke is sexist, I'll point out how it affects women. That's my point. If you want to have a conversation about childhood sexual abuse, I'll happily engage, but somewhere else. Generally any conversations about gender inequality is usurped by this shit and I feel reluctant to engage in it.
Oly- sorry...that thicko thing was meant as a joke. I know you know I'm flabbergastingly intelligent. For reals. I'm not actually taking any of this personally. I'll try to send you some links about the abuse- I'll have to have a look so gimme a day or two. Check the Women's Aid Annual Report for this year anyway, I think it's mentioned in there. It's pretty bats of you to imply that I suggested it's common among Irish men! I'm saying it's a common form of abuse, in that it happens to many women. Not per head of the population, like.
