Time For The "New Woman"

[Jim Smith]

part of the reason i got in to football was the drinking culture before and after the game!! but then im sure that leads back to the whole debate about girls not drinking pints doesnt it

I've nothing against women drinking pints (maybe not at three though). To paraphrase the greatest philosopher of our time:

"Ah sweet alcohol, where would my love life be without you?"

Take note, Jim Smith, if you don't keep your daughter away from football she'll turn out like Babysis!

I think girls drinking halfs is just a little bit creepy these days.

They're too expensive anyway.

[dahamsta]

You just expect them to take out embroidery or start talking about the Countrywoman's Association or something...

Women or halfs?
Or half women?

There are worse people she could turn out like (Supposedly)
Its not that bad, loving football, supporting my national team, and enjoying drinking. isn't it what every parent dreams their children will turn out like??

As for the whole drinking halfs, I actually do occassionally. See full of surprise, me!!

[niamh]

I think Babysis got it spot on tbh - each to their own. But there is nothing worst than men/women who want shout and rant about equal rights and but don't get up off their arse and do something about it on a daily basis.

No, most men wan their children to play for Ireland and stay away from the deamon drink!

We were talking about a half pint of beer, not a half pint of vodka!

Thank you very much. I went to uni in Bnrighton, and the main focus of my degree was women's history, which meant i was going to be on courss full of feminists Scary bunch in my opinion. Its easch to their own, but realisticcally we dont have it too bad nowadays at all. Well i dont anyway

[anto eile]

first of all im not sexist at all, i respect womens rights to the fullest extent that the law demands, but i firmly believe that women drinking pints is completely un-classy.it shouldnt be done.

Maybe, but it depends on which part of her heritage she is supporting. I love my children and the thought of them having the "character building experience" of supporting Scotland worries me deeply. That results in drinking to escape reality rather than enjoyment

Surely thats the same school of thought that says blokes should be real men and not take pride in their appeareance, cos if they do they must be gay

Classy?? What does it matter whether a girl is sitting enjoying a sociable drink, be it a pint or a pink thing with an umbrella in it.

Neither do I but I do have pints in the auld pint glasses...what can I say.
But those college feminists are a scary bunch of people...they have then in DCU too...Communications students!

Wouldn't say that about the ponces....

Personally I prefer the missus to drink pints - the price of mixers is ridiculous....

[Babysis]

well its each to their own. I just thinks it funny that blokes find it acceptable for a woman to drink 2 halfs but not a pint!! if its alcoholic I will probably drink it. but im taking on board everything that has been said, so at the next foot.ie drinks, mines a pina colada with a sparkler and umbrella, cheers.

We wont be meeting in the Lyric so then.

To be honest by the time ive cooked a dinner from scratch, and done all the cleaning, washing and ironing I doubt i will make it in time

You'll just have to learn how to do it all at once.

Or just find a bloke to do it. not really an issue for me, one of the benefits of living at home is the fact my mum is a great cook as Thommo, pat o and sylvo can confirm, so i dont have to cook a meal from scratch, so there is no fear of me missing a session
