Ireland: "Men should stop whining about gender quotas"

Article here. Excerpt:

'There’s something particularly annoying about male politicians giving out. Is it their voices? That high-pitched whining? Or is it just their general air of hysteria? I mean they sound pretty hysterical to me. I can’t even understand what they’re saying! It’s their emotional nature I suppose, and their fragility.

I’m not sure how we expect these delicate creatures to make tough decisions. Particularly if it’s that time of the month. They’re probably more concerned about what they’re wearing than actually being politicians. Let me tell you something, you have to be very wary about ambitious men. And don’t they kill each other too with pure bitchiness? Sure they’d stab each other in the back before they’d shake a hand. You know what? Sometimes I think other men are men’s own worst enemies.

The ear-piercing dog whistle-level of men whining ruptures ear drums when it comes to the discussion around gender quotas. On current affairs television programmes and radio shows, the merits of gender quotas in politics are still being debated. Why? Quotas for candidates in the next election are already in place. As much as the media may have a misplaced desire for a confrontational bunfight on this topic, the “debate” is an extinct one. It’s already happening, and the reasons are pretty obvious.'
