Stay away from Here
Here NI is “a place for lesbian and bisexual women” in Belfast. Its most recent Facebook post, six hours ago:
One, it carefully omits “sex” from the “regardless of” bit. Two, the image is of a woman brandishing her fist at a cringing shaking man while shouting at him.
To repeat: it calls itself “a place for lesbian and bisexual women.”
This really reminds me of those people who contend that the sexual abuse of women by men isn’t actually an issue, because “men get abused just as much, they just don’t complain about it all the time.”
Maybe Irish. women are demons and Irish men are timid, shrinking wallflowers? Tigger can weigh in I guess. I mean, I’ve heard of physically abusive women, and certainly verbally so, but shit, it’s hard to take portrayals like this seriously given the well established pattern of abuse in societies worldwide.
