‘With his blonde hair, an orange hoodie, blue jeans and maroon sneakers, David Glynn looked more like a boyband star than the country’s brightest Leaving Certificate student on Wednesday’
Brainy and purty?
Impossible.

If a female student had scored 9 A1s in the leaving and then be described as looking “more like a girlband star than the country’s brightest Leaving Certificate student” I imagine there would be uproar…
FIGHT!
Repeat.
FIGHT!

Read it in a Father Stack voice.
David Glynn clearly jealous as fook.
What’s a leaveing cert?
Comes after the groupe cert.
David Glynn has a bright future ahead of him and indeed a bright present. Well done the chungfella.
That kid looks super well-adjusted and right happy, deservedly so.
So he’s a good looking teenager. What’s wrong with pointing that out? Or have we come so far now with the men’s rights that we can’t make lingering references to a boy’s physical appearance in a national newspaper without some virginal neckbeard piping up and spoiling the fun.
Sure, can’t he take a compliment the sexy little minx?
Steady on. I think he projects unbridled wholesomeness and accomplishment.
A future Mayo Rose, perhaps?
Look, if I’m going to objectify him, I’m going to do a proper job of it.
You’d rip it off him and hand it back to him in a sock?
I’m a perv, not a monster
Easy on now m’luv. I’m not spoiling any fun. My point is purely that if the same comparisons were made about a female there would be outrage.
That outrage would be as unjustified as being outraged at this article about this young man.
Well well. Seems pretty watertight. Got all the angles locked down. Open and shut.
Alright Feminazis, stand down. Time to let the Gotcha Squad clean up.
Yay!
Imagine if it really was that simple. Ah well.
*puts bra back on*
I was expecting the student with the nine A1s to be a girl, to be honest. My white male privilege needs some fine tuning.
whats a virginal neck beard???
A smug person who thinks he’s come up with a devastating rebuttal to feminism, and is insisting you acknowledge it with the guileless enthusiasm of a toddler having filled its first potty.
No that is a bearded lady-boy
I decided not to pick up on that personal attack on my sexuality Caroline. It was very immature.
Smellyer, you’re wrong, I guess you were reading that hoping and praying that they used a word like sexy or gorgeous or hot, but they didn’t. Instead they used boy band and you still thought it was enough to create outrage. Give it a rest!
Not outraged at all.
Were you outraged there was no outrage?
I got the outrage outrage. The best kind of outrage.
NERD.
wow inverse sexism wow wow so real wow
hairist
Fair play to him. Wonder why he chose Japanese.
Hope he enjoys his night, whatever he does!
Could be “Turning Japanese”?
Imagine the uproar if the reanimated corpse of Hitler got 600 points in the leaving cert and was described in terms which flattered his appearance, “with his flat black hair and brown shirt…”
Just imagine it!
…
WOW!
And all of it totally unjustified for some reason.
STOP FIGHTING!
I think we can all agree he’s insufferable and we all hate him for getting 900 points in a contest where the max you’ll ever need is 600 and that extra 300 is just to rub all us norm’s faces in the poo.
is shieler a bender
spectacularly condescending
Now this would be REAL bad, but more relevant ‘Student achieves significantly above average Leaving Cert in prep for inevitable emigration’
The year I finished school at least 4 of my friends alone got the full 600, while one got 900 and another got 800. It takes serious work. Congratulations to all the lads and ladies.
in my day they gave you a tiny wee bit of yella paper with the results
…and the king would give a brand new shilling to the best in class.
Reports indicate that infact he still didn’t get his hole last night
You’ve been warned about lurking in those bushes already!
Maybe you’re just not his type.
