well, it was an example, to illustrate a point. And while this has nothing to do with baby killing (talk about inflamatory language) you also don't have to dig too deep in some areas of Irish society to find extreme sexism. I come across it in work all the time and I just cannot believe I'm not judged on my merits but by my gender. I know a woman who was patted on the head by a man in a meeting recently. That however hasn't got anything to do with the issue at hand, but it does have bearing on Jane's arguement that there is sexism and anti-woman sentiment buried in society.
pete said:But you don't have to dig very deep to find the anti-english sentiment in ireland, do you? It's not like people who are cheering for anyone but that lot in the world cup will be puzzled by their own actions.
Discounting the rather more obvious baby killing angle in preference to a waaay cooler, waaay more complicated, deeply buried, unspoken sociological reason just seems.... somewhat unnecessary.
And I can think this without denying the level of sexism in society... go figure.
