Catholic priests urged men to beat their wives to keep them under control LOL, where do you get this? Publications of the Naiad Press? Charley and MSB, Are you disputing this unique claim or the general environment for women (both historically and recently) in Ireland? I believe Ireland is oppressive for women even today, but has improved greatly from only 40 years ago (when they sent women to prison or to the convent for promiscuity). A number of high tech firms have opened up shop in Dublin and the issue of the "accepted lifestyle" for single women has become a concern. If you are pregnant and single, you can't get an apartment. If you are a single woman and have a male over for the night, you will likely be evicted - stuff like that. This is all mandated by "the church" (as if it is some sort of regulatory agency). Really, its fairly common knowledge that Ireland for women is fairly oppressive. I'm surprised you would dispute that? One thing that always bothered me about the church as everyones policeman is that they blame everything on the women in society - EVERYTHING.
