A Man Has Sex with a Teenager? Not Allowed! A Woman? AH SURE IT’S FINE!

I haven’t posted in a while due to my college work stacking up and it all being due, and while I should be getting different paperwork together, I had a quick look at the news. And something infuriated me so badly, that I had to close down OpenOffice, and come on here to vent. What am I possibly talking about? Will I ever get to the point? Sure thing, here we go.

First thing first, my anger is in regards to this lovely news story I linked above. I know I know, I read the Daily Mail which itself should be a crime against humanity, but it’s a weakness. You don’t need to read the whole story to understand why I am mad here, and I can hear the internet trolls shouting at their screens:

“U MAD BRO!?!??!”

Oh yes, I am indeed. 

Why does a woman (who’s a teacher, which isn’t the important part of the story) get away with having sex with teenager and exchanging over 12,000 texts within seven damn months, and brings him away on a trip to then have sex with them. She also sent him sexual photos over the cancer that is Snapchat. 

Lets just think here for a second, it’s a man. It’s a male teacher who done all those things above to a 16 year old female. Now, what would be the result? Would it be the same? Would he walk free like she did? If you said yes, you’re wrong (and an idiot, sorry). The double standards are laughable, and they simply drive me up the wall. 

All you ever hear from damn feminists is “Oh we always get the short end of the stick” and all that other nonsense, what about now huh? How can a woman, walk free from having sex with a teenager when a man would be put in jail!? It doesn’t make sense, and just pisses me off beyond belief. 

Ring the feminists bell, they’ll be coming onto this blog post to say how I hate women and that my opinion is wrong.

Before you type your angry comments though, I have one last thing to say.

Welcome to my blog.

Us Irish Reinforce the Alcohol Stereotype

Unfortunately, it has.

When people think of Ireland, what do us Irish people want them to associate with it? Maybe it is our lovely food, or brilliant visual landmarks (not the Spire mind you). It would be nice if people actually thought that of Ireland when it was brought up, but I’d say the majority wouldn’t. What would people think about? Well, you probably know the answer from the title – alcohol. And that is unfortunate, because Ireland is way more than that.

Every now and again, I do see people saying “Why are we [Irish people] looked at as the drunks of Europe!” or something to this extent. And I wish, I really do, we weren’t. But we are, and it is because of days like Arthur Guinness Day, and St. Patrick’s Day. These are the two main days that reinforce the stereotype.

Arthur Guinness Day was actually a really good idea when it was celebrating Guinness’s 250th anniversary. But since then, it has nearly become a holiday here in Ireland, where every year people look forward to it for one reason, and one reason only: they have an excuse to get drunk. Why do we need to celebrate every year for Guinness? We don’t, but the majority of the Irish public like to think we should and that enough is a reason to drink. The day (or ‘holiday’ if you want to call it) is nothing but a cheap gimmick for people to drink, and you can say, “Well, it is the companies pushing and promoting the day” and that is true, but people still fall for it and love it.

Then we have St. Patrick’s Day, a day that is rich with history and actually has a purpose to be a holiday. In Dublin City Centre, you have a massive parade for adults and their children to enjoy for a day out! What could be wrong? Well, apart from the drinking culture taking over the entire day and ruining it, nothing else. Unfortunately (I’ve used that word a lot in this post) the day has turned into nothing more but a day off to get drunk. Parents think twice about going into town now with their kids for the parade, why? Because of the amount of drunks in there ruining it.

Let me get this straight, I have no problem with people in Ireland drinking and enjoying it, but we cannot say as a nation that we shouldn’t be looked at as the drunks of Europe (or the world, whatever you want) when we turn days into drinking sessions. We are the drinking nation, and it’s as simple as that.

Were we always the drunk nation? I don’t know, maybe we were.

Maybe you can tell me.

Until next time.
