I not a troubling sentiment in the story. Both of the examples involved females, the statement afterwards was the women experince X amount. Is this to say that males do not experince abuse, harrasment and bullying also?

Arthur didn't you know that us males do not have the luxury of human rights. ;)
Some feminist even regard us a being less than human. Posted by JamesH, Monday, 13 December 2010 11:23:50 AM

In actual fact the male suicide rate is much higher than that of females
http://www.livingisforeveryone.com.au/IgnitionSuite/uploads/docs/LIFE-Fact%20sheet%203.pdf As previously pointed out it seems to matter little to feminist. If they were serious about preventing violence they would surely deal with the roots (breakdown of family unit, fatherless kids, pornography) instead of banging on about male attitudes. This however would mean feminist dogma would also have to change. The more secular the more violence as simple as that folk Posted by runner, Monday, 13 December 2010 12:05:32 PM

The author conveniently ignores the fact that the Australian Human Rights Commission gets all its revenue by violence, bullying and harassment.

So what are you commenter's saying ? that this author has ignored that men are bullied and mistreated. The article is not about that I am sure the author would recognize that. This is not about feminism this is about what has occurred and cant be denied in Australian society.
The young girl in Tasmania of 12 tell her this is about nothing more than feminism. Her mother was the one who encouraged this and another person who happened to be male. Violence and bullying are in our society and something needs to be done and not having a go at someone who is bringing this issue to the forefront to discuss needs to be had a go at as a feminist like it is a bad thing. This issue is world wide and just about everyone has been affected by it.The stories that make the news are horrifying, this is up to men and women working together to stop this not just women and not just men. Both are just important for society and both can stop this. Maybe some have missed the points that have been raised in this article? How do you feel about the situations and topics that have been raised Posted by gothesca, Monday, 13 December 2010 1:22:32 PM
