Blindboy on the Late Late: “Let a woman pay for your dinner and see how you feel about that”

Tony Cuddihy

This man has an incredible way with words.

If you’re as sick as us of people who refuse to take Blindboy Boatclub seriously because of his facial attire, then read on, because this is one of Ireland’s most articulate voices.

The Rubber Bandit was on The Late Late Show on Friday night talking about how Irish men need to embrace feminism.

Discussing conversations with young men suffering from depression and anxiety, young men who expressed how they felt worthless because they couldn’t provide for a female partner, Blindboy had some very interesting points to make.

“Let a woman pay for your dinner and see how you feel about that,” he told Ryan Tubridy. “If you’re cool with that you’re a feminist. If you’re not, you need to look at yourself.”

Blindboy also spoke about why nobody he knows owns a house, and why the divide between rich and poor is so great.
