The Irish Legal System - In favour of females? (1 Viewer)

[vermilliona]

This is just an idea that seems to me (I'm not claiming to know anything about law) that the law seems to favour women in pretty much every aspect in Ireland. This principle would appear to me to be unfair. Obviously certain crimes are more common in certain circumstances but the minority in Ireland seem to have a really hard time of it.

For example in the 'new anti female condom' thread it was mentioned about how it is much harder to prove rape of a man by a woman that the reverse.

Also the difficulty single fathers have if they want to get access to their children unless the mother is co-operative. I'm sure there are more examples I'm just wondering if people agree or disagree with me?

it's an honest question

 

[Gambra]

Fair enough but people with a lot, lot more knowledge than me are going to wade in soon

I don't know anything about legal issues either I was asking for opinions.

But surely you should know somthing about the ins & outs of the system if your coming up with pretty big statements such as the thread title.

is this thread anything to do with this?

 

[vermilliona]

I stated that I didnt know anything about the law. I read a post on another thread (The anti rape condom thread) that was part of the Irish constitution. I know bits that I've read out of interest on these topics but I'm sure there are more qualified than me. Hence the question mark at the end of my question not 'statement.

Woah! Where do you think you are - the internet or something?! It's all verified legalese and well thought out argument on here!

 

[Gambra]

Fair enough. Just asking questions meself

My girlfriend has been studying law for the past few years and she has said that a lot of Irish law IS unfairly biased in favour of women.

Family law almost always takes the side of the woman for example in divorce cases. Its because they try and do whats best for the child and traditionally the belief is that a child is better off with its mother.

Men often get a raw deal when it comes to divorce and access to the children etc

I think there should be a system in place where men can have access to discount superhero costume hire, in the event that the courts discriminate against them

 

[oh shit]

the answer is definitely not
the reasons are extensive, and available in many hundreds of books and articles available in libraries across the land.

I think a bigger question we need to ask is if Thumped is in favour of females?

there may be specific instances where gender bias preferentially favours women
rape isn't one of them

I'd disagree. The basis for my answers are also available in many bukes and shit.

no- not rape

I was thinking of child custody, division of property type stuff

They're alright. I like the way they smell but sometimes they're mean.

I really like that song "Womankind" by Little Angels. It really captures what women are about and mean, as a whole.

 

[Unicron]

I am wholeheartedly in favour of the idea of females, as a concept.
