Susan McKay quits as head of National Wimmin's Council

[greengoose2]

Is there a National Men's Council ?

Yes, it's called Dail Eireann.

No hate at all, beyond calling someone you don't know 'a right whinger with a royal sense of entitlement'. Do you think that a journalistic career spent writing about the position of women in Irish society (among other things) might just be connected to her getting a job with an organisation concerned with the position of women in society? Or is there a conspiracy?

I'm off anyway. No more reading childish nicknames such as 'wimmin' and 'right whinger', 'feminista' ad nauseum.

Before you go - could you answer darkhorse's question ?

I believe all pressure groups should be self-funded. It's not fair that some groups are funded by the state to push their political agenda while others are not. 400k gives them a huge advantage over those who disagree with them.

The section of the community which are male and which are in a minority have an nearly ninety pc control of the Dail 'to push their political agenda'. Is that 'fair'?

You have no idea whether I know her or not. Who cares how she managed to pick up the cushy number at this quango in the first place? The fact that you think she is not a whinger doesn't mean that she is not.

I'd say she resigned because she would have to accept a 35% wages cut, I mean like how could she live on that?

The poor dear!!!!!!!!

Please provide proof of that.

Yawn. There are multiple threads on that already. Now go.

So now there is a vacancy there can anyone apply or just those with a vajayjay?

Good point. Will the minority be disadvantaged? Howl of indignation and outrage.

We already have the equality authority for that, Unless you think we should set a National men's council. Where is this male dominated agenda please provide any acts or statues that favoured men more than women.

Part of what ails the west is the publically funded opression industry. Personally, I think the idea of a women's council is as outdated as the notion of labour unions. Laws exist now which provide cover and more for ever single issue both organisations were founded to fight for. They're nothing but make-work quangos and a waste of money.
