Single women buying more houses than single men

Electro, women and girls make up 50.2% of the total population (Census 2006). What percentage of Ireland's wealth is owned by women? What percentage of the workforce are they? What percentage of businesses are owned by women? What percentage of companies are headed by women? What percentage of elected representatives are women? What percentage of judges are women?

Basically I'm asking you to supply some statistics which prove your contention that Ireland is now a matriarchy.

If you can show that women own more of Ireland's wealth than men do, participate in the labour force more than men, own and control more companies than men and are more likely to make the laws (either as elected representative/judges) and develop public policy than men, then you'll have proved yourself right.

If you can't then you're just another whinger.

Spot on JFK, spot on.

look at the country.

we bought into the western world American style consumerist economy model. to do that you have to have women , or whoever's raising the kids really, to be out there in the workplace and you need to concentrate on the value of acquiring "things" over "worthless" activities like child rearing and social cohesion

30yrs ago the social model of this country was one person buying a house , supporting a partner and raising on average 4 to 6 kids. everyone went to mass and no one got divorced. hence the demographic that made us the youngest population in Europe.

now?

BOTH partners are required to purchase a home . on average were having 1.5 kids or none. the other partner that WAS raising kids is now forced into the workplace to keep a roof over their head and were all up to our arses in debt on credit cards buying "things" and the biggest growing demographic in the country is divorced people

the net result? the country's dying. by that i mean were not replacing ourselves and if it wasn't for the immigrants the population would be falling in real terms and were now barreling towards a pension crisis which'll mean a complete THIRD of the population will be retired by 2030.

ALL so a bunch of greedy business types could cash in on one generation. after all what do you think happens to all those failed marriages? yup someone makes a buck out of it. generally the gov in terms of extra revenues from tax paid by people now being forced to work who didnt before and their builder mates who make a fortune flogging appartments to em and gov. yet again making more of the consequent taxes in them having to run another home. its a lovely little money earner.

its not just here, look at italy. half its population is over 50 and the rest of the western world is heading down the same road. hell australia and france are PAYING people to have kids now. its no coincidence that the countries in europe that ARE growing are the ones like poland that are pretty much what WE were in the 1970s in terms of social norms. (by the way im NOT advocating holy catholic irleand or any of that, im just pointing out what the changes FROM that resulted in)

it took various political parties 30yrs but theyve suceeded in turing us into an economy NOT a society. thats why you wont hear a politician use the word anymore. chalie mcreevy even made it official with tax individualisation and the media rolled right on in behind it, purportedly on grounds of female liberation but in fact it was based on ad revenue grounds, which is the medias bread and butter, and floggin it to a whole new demographic. "desperate single women"

christ we even had an ex president in the form of mary robinson come out and basically say if a woman had a degree and was raising a family she was a failour.

you might try to get your facts right before typing

Ireland's population growth rate is rising, Poland's is falling - any simple google search will show you this

yeah, due to IMMIGRATION.

check the CSO for indigenous births. our fertility rates are less than 2:1 which is whats required to replace the population. why do you think the politicians are banging on about pensions if theres no problem? to check it out go to the CSO site and type in "average age 2006" in the search engine. the third link down gives you a PDF with the figures. i tried to stick a link up for ya but it wouldnt work for some reason.

our rates are the highest in europe but thats like saying were on the top floor of the titanic.

Lonely women and lonely men,with bricks and mortar and partying.
Men ape women and women ape men as pre nups, divorce and rot set in.

Best not take the risk at all and live alone in a single home.
No longer trusting, but thrusting, no longer loving but grasping.

Sad collateral from the sexual revolution and the deconstruction of marriage and the family.
The sexes no longer know how to love each other. Come back Jane Austen, hated you in school,
now I see you were right. Back to virtue, its the only thing that can save both sexes.
