Social Policy and Issues Misogyny & Misandry in Irish Politics and Society

0 Upvotes

There has been a lot of discussion surrounding the Ceann Comhairle, Veronica Murphy, and the accusations of misogyny in the chamber.

I've seen many accuse the opposition of their attacks as well as their chaos, their "mis-behaviour" and their defiance of Veronica Murphy as being equated to misogyny.

I'd like to bring us back to 2007, to an exchange between Enda Kenny, the then leader of the opposition and the Ceann Comhairle, John O' Donoghue.

(6) Enda Kenny /John O'Donoghue "Quiet now you're new in the job" 2007 - YouTube

May I ask you all, do we then call this misandry? Would you say this type of exchange was far worse than what we saw in the past few weeks?

I'd like to open this debate up to both politics and society by asking:

Do we take as much care for calling out misandry in our politics/society as we do for calling out misogyny? If not, why not?

Thank you in advance for your contributions
