Swept Under The Rug: Toxic Masculinity in the Royal Ulster Constabulary

from Stray Bullets · host E.S. Haggan

Some succinct recollections about how some females were treated in the RUC, at the time a very patriarchal organisation. Also, to conclude a brief look at Irish right-wing groups and the maintenance of tribal hatreds. I may expand on the latter in a future episode. I have shifted the proposed episode about the Irish Language to an episode of its own as I have slightly more material and in mind of current political posturing and culture wars - the lies for your vote is on, or 'I'll give you a fistful of grievances and victimhood you didn't know you needed - I'll throw in some confirmation bias for free, too!   Click here if you’d like to send me a comment or question.

In this weekly podcast, screenwriters Chris Derrick (STAR TREK: PICARD) & Steven Bagatourian (AMERICAN GUN) discuss favorite books, runs, and creators.The Bronze Age is — for us —  the greatest era in comics history. This time period was defined by a weird rift in the fabric of spacetime that allowed an industry in flux to reimagine what was possible. We all remember the eye-popping results: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, WATCHMEN, CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS, LOVE & ROCKETS, MAUS, etc.…But what of the lesser-known gems of this era: THRILLER, GRIMJACK, NEXUS, CONCRETE, MR. MONSTER, SCOUT, STRAY TOASTERS, and so many others!? These comics and their creators blazed radical new trails that changed the course of comics forever but often are left out of today’s discourse.COMICS ROT YOUR BRAIN! exists to celebrate and reckon with the extraordinary legacy of 1980s American comics — all o The Speaking Frankly Football Show Frank Hughes & AJ Vergette Hello and welcome to The Speaking Frankly Football Show.Hosted by Frank Hughes, Chairman of Skelmersdale United FC & AJ Vergette, Skelmersdale United Press Officer.We concentrate mainly on matters of non league football, but occasionally we stray and cover other controversial subjects in football as well.We give in depth analysis on the North West Counties Football League.Interviews, opinions, controversial issues and much more!We are Speaking Frankly.
