Ballot papers for the recent presidential election being sorted into first preference piles in Saggart, Dublin last week
After opening the ballot boxes, we always read of the presence or absence of tallymen.
Never a mention of tallywomen or tallychildren. Do women or children not count?
Dermot O’Rourke,
Lucan,
Co Dublin.
FIGHT!
Don’t say the tallyman . . . (The Irish Times letters page)

Enough.
You mean enough-man.
Time-waster is a non-genderised term. That one okay for you Dermot?
We have ‘Broad’-sheet.
What about Blokesheet?
There’s also de MAMmaries, why not de DADeries?
When, oh when will this cruel world change for the better!?!
Stop that.
Pretty sure ol’ Dermot was trying for the same sort of sick burn on PC culture you guys are trying to deliver back to him. Thus is the circle complete.
WHAT AN EDGELORD
LOL
Tally me bananas.
I can’t stop giggling at this.
Day-oh!
daylight come and me wanna go home
While we’re at it, can’t believe the neck of Joan FreeMAN using that gendered name in this day and age
An outrageous womanoeuvre
I think it was just an innocent joke, like you’d have had in the letter pages of the Beano.
