Riddle me this, D'orio:
Would you go into a pub in Ireland and sit on your own?
This is the fulcrum. This is the crux.

In the other thread you call the men 'weaklings'.
What is wrong with you?
I have.
Given I don't live in Ireland, it is rare, but I have.
That's one perception, I suppose.
The other is that people assume there's something wrong.
You sit in a pub alone and you have no shortage of assholes thinking you have a sign up saying 'come over and annoy the shit out of me, will you?'.
If it's a evening, rather than afternoon, the likelihood increases 10 times over, with the added generous sprinkle of alcohol bravado.
Do you know the shit a women takes when she asks to be left alone, and some fella has had a load of beer?
This is stuff that men in a pub alone have no experience of, I would imagine.
Women don't tend to sit alone in a bar, because they'd prefer not to put up with the shit.
Which is fair enough, I'd say.
very sexist attitude tbh. "stupid men, drunk all the time and hassling women"
It's a mans world.
Women don't tend to sit alone in a bar, because they'd prefer not to put up with the shit.
Which is fair enough, I'd say.
You think this is assumption? Remember, the scenario was an Irish pub, not a day-time café or bar.
This is experience, Loz.
Sorry, but it is not just my experience either.
It is very, very rare that I or many women can go for a drink alone in a pub and not be annoyed to some degree. From mild, to harassment.
