‘Societal response’ required to fight epidemic of violence against women, says Taoiseach [Irish Prime Minister]. Such hype/language could potentially lead to too much focus on violence against women, when a lot of deaths are likely very difficult to prevent.

Far more men are murdered than women, yet the “epidemic” is women being killed, men’s deaths apparently not mattering.

Violence against men?

BEEZY086 · 2026-07-10T22:21:33+00:00

This shit is beyond frustrating. The article only mentions that so far this year theres more female murders than last year. Theres no numbers from previous years to prove that this is becoming an epidemic. Stats should be mandatory for bold claims such as this. But its intentionally omitted so they can paint thier narrative through this hateful propaganda. I feel awful for the women and thier families. But fuck 40 people. That shit aint no epidemic. Howbout this for an epidemic:

In 2022, there were 500 registered deaths by suicide in Ireland. Males accounted for 77.8% of these deaths, which equals 389 male suicides. The Central Statistics Office provides these exact records.

This violence against women? The same violence against women she and her woke cult are facilitating?

I don’t know the percentage but a significant proportion of violent deaths of women reported in the Irish media* are not from current or former partners, but [adult] sons who may be unstable for one reason or another, including from drugs and/or alcohol, or psychiatric problems.

*There are approximately 9 a year so probably close to all violent deaths get mentioned in the media. Very often the reporting says the police are not looking for anyone else in relation to the death so it’s not difficult to know who the killer is

That figure of 40 women includes murder and manslaughter. If you research the same figure for men it’s over 200. Seems like women are a lot safer than men in Ireland. Social media and Politicians response. 🤷‍♂️

FYI work place deaths for past 4 years in Ireland, over 140 men have died and 14 women. You’d think 150 work place deaths in a country so small that 40 murders is deemed an epidemic would get some attention. Politicians response 🤷‍♂️.

The problem is Irish media plays to the crowd. So you’ll see multiple reports in media and social media highlighting “the epidemic of misogyny” anytime a woman dies. It’s been shown the identity of the man determines how much media attention it gets. Racist attack - lots of attention. Regular Irish man demonstrably less. It has to be something unique, e.g. the farmer who disappeared, to get attention. And social media, like Reddit, will magnify that disproportionate response hugely. Multiple posts to have the same discussion about how shocked we all are and how unsafe it is for women in response to the same incident.

Likewise mainstream and social media if someone convicted of assault on a woman gets any part of their sentence suspended. It will also always be misreported as a suspended sentence to get the blood boiling. But in the same day/week the same sentences will be handed out to criminals who assault men with no big media push on it. Irish people, especially those online, like to view themselves as progressive and have the same biases you’d expect from people who think they are but aren’t.

Ireland has a massive “everything is misogyny” issue. Look at the way the teachers, who were caught out upgrading girls and downgrading boys during COVID, get away with attacking teenage boys. Calling them generically misogynistic and making unsupported claims they’re all watching Andrew Tait and Manosphere content. The only research done not only doesn’t support this it directly contradicts it.

Which is why you’ll find the move against children online is couched as being part of dealing with the claim of an epidemic of misogyny in Irish society. Look at the main Ireland sub on Reddit and you’ll find rabid hatred for teenage boys is indulged. Including comments calling for violence against them being upvoted and allowed to stay. Including women claiming to be teachers, men claiming to be teachers (which is very interesting because the number of men teachers in Ireland is really low) and claiming to be “friends” or “family” of teachers, repeating the same rabid anti boys message over and over. (Without the slightest touch of self awareness to realise that the education system, when it contains so many like this, is actually the alienation point for boys, not the manosphere, which there is no evidence boys are even engaging with on any kind of scale).

Mainstream casual sexism towards men is common and the reason it’s allowed, just pick from the full range of mental gymnastics, is why the same things happening to men but on a comparatively industrial scale attracts no attention. Or even worse gets the “but that’s men attacking men” dismissal. Followed by the usual passive aggressive nonsense to pretend they aren’t saying it matters less when it’s exactly what they’re saying.

This is exactly the kind of performative stuff objective Irish people are used to seeing. And it’s genuinely based off perception and personal bias, being treated as empirical fact. When the facts actually contradict the message.

It might help if they stop massive importing from countries that view women as property and are encouraged to rape white Christian girls by their religion.

as an irish im dissappointed.

Last year in Ireland 3x as many men were murdered as women. Also the number of women killed by dangerous driving was higher than the number killed by DV. That doesnt mean that DV shouldn’t be addressed, but in terms of both numbers of deaths and ability to have an effect things like driving, alcohol and drugs should be higher priorities.

Societal response has been rather one sided over the last few decades. You cannot go on favouring women (half of society) institutionally and not expect the other half (the men) to simply accept. In this sense government and societal systems are losing relevance and influence. Society has been taking men for granted for too long and has been hurting the interests of men. Without adresing this glaring inconsistency in policy and taking an inclusive and holistic approach the problem is only going to increase.

Death easy to prevent, allow men to leave relationships without financial hurdles :

Abolish child support(unless the man signed that he was gonna take care of it, that way this will reduce the amount the men who were graped and have to take care of their grapists),

Abolish alimony,

Abolish common-law marriage,

Abolish the use of the proxy violence of the state that women use against men!

Done!

Ireland? You mean the country whose Minister of Justice told the citizenry to report their friends and neighbors to the police for referring to the country as a "police state" is engaging in authoritarian bullshit?

Next thing you're going to tell me is that water is wet!
