Here in America there was no mention of “International” Women’s Day. Like everyone has mentioned, it doesn’t make sense for women to want to be “equal” with men, but then have a day to celebrate their differences?

I’m with the camp that has the idea that men and women ARE different, and for very good reasons. Why would I want to be equal with a man? It’s impossible.

Equality between men and women is a load of bollix*

Cool. If they can get pregnant with a turkey baster or a quick visit to LIDL’s maternity aisle then so much the better.

If its come down to needing men only as a second salary and in order to buy a suitable property then why should men bother with the traditional ball and chain that marriage entails?

Man up, guys. Go explore the world, go fishing, stand on the lip of an active volcano. Beats living a shorter life span through stress of marriage, kids and so on.

The problem with American men is that they have no lead in their pencil. Now, if you were in Ireland………

There have been a couple of debates lately about the lack of women in Irish politics, and my answer is that if the current crop are anything to go by, then it's best to keep 'em out! There are a couple of exceptions, but frankly Harney, Cooper Flynn, Coughlan and their ilk don't do much for the image of their gender.

As for your vision of the future where women can happily go out and do all the work while the men stay at home and do fuck all, then bring it on.

Hang on... That describes my life now. Heh!

Still, I hope that longed for day soon dawns when women no longer need men at all and then marriage as an institution can fall by the wayside.

I mean- if women can fund the world, have a career, raise a family and don’t need a man for any of it is this necessarily bad news?

Don’t know about the rest of the lads reading this but they are welcome to all that. Just let me know when I can invest in a new fishing rod, ladies. Its alllllllll yours.

I feel a bit sorry for Irish women. There must be a load of them who would be good public representatives but just won’t even attempt to put themselves forward because they know that a certain family in their area has a grip on the local party so there’s no point. That goes for FF, FG and Labour.

Also, who the fuck would want to follow Mary Harney and Mary Coughlan in an equality line-up?

Mary Coughlan is only in the cabinet because she wouldn’t have a hope of launching a leadership bid (thank fuck) and thats why Cowen put her in as Tanaiste. Its a lot more secure for Clowen to have that unfortunate gobshite there than someone like Michael Martin looking over his shoulder.

Only problem is that she’s rather obviously poorly educated, incompetent, has never had her Department under control and is steadily just adding to the foul-ups, bloops and blunders pile.

As for Harney? Well, Harney is long past her sell-by date.
