Good one Sam, you're probably right.
Why are women becoming more aggressive? There have been numerous violent attacks in past few years that have included women as the perpetrators. I can’t recall this happening before. These feminist Nazis don’ even know the difference between sexism and misogyny. Softening the difference is an insult to the women who have been victims of misogyny. That whole dreadful campaign of accusation against Abbott, who has a wife, 3 daughters and a lesbian sister who he gets on well with all. One award winning Australian author, Wayne Grogan (crime writer) who knows the real meaning of misogyny, as he has written about it, has since challenged Gillard. Good on him, I say! www.storycentral.com.au/.../terror-australis-author-takes-aim-at-gillar... http://www.6pr.com.au/blogs/6pr-perth-blog/misogyny-defined-for-pm/20121105-28uco.html I’m not even going to watch the video the author is talking about because I can easily guess what to expect. It would only rile me. Now we have the Slut Walk which I find terribly degrading to women. Hope they all trip over. These women are incredibly stupid. These women are all neurotic. Feminism has created monsters. I know, and experience it in the public service every day. Although I have come across a handful of good female managers, most of them are just about psychopathic. I’ve discussed this with males and females from all walks of life who agree with me. The female executives and managers lack morals and will go to the endth degree to please their upper dictators. They make it incredibly hard for workers and are so devious. I met a woman recently who use to attend all the feminist protests once since it all started happening. She has completely changed her mind about the whole shebang. She said what I already knew, “We got it all wrong”. A nightmare for me is working in an all female environment. All Feminism is doing, is dehumanising males. No wonder mental health issues, particularly for males is growing by the minute. Society is becoming more and more divided. Denying the differences between the genders is supremely unwise and goes against human nature. Posted by Constance, Friday, 15 February 2013 8:21:36 AM

The 'man prayer' initiative may well be a load of rubbish, but there is no denying the fact that men are responsible for the bulk of the violence in our society.
There is nothing wrong with trying to decrease the violence in our society by concentrating on the worst offenders first, and then moving on to other causes. I think there are now way too many overly sensitive men who feel threatened by women finally standing up for themselves. They forget that most women have male relatives they love and would like to see the violence in everyone's lives banished... Posted by Suseonline, Friday, 15 February 2013 9:20:17 AM

"Yes, women (and men) are violently raped and beaten far too often - a single victim is one too many - but the way to reduce this violence is to fight against ALL violence, wholly and inclusively, against all people, male or female, white or black, Muslim or Christian or atheist, old or young, straight or gay, rich or poor. And to do so in a way that doesn't attack or stereotype any other group. And to not promote misinformation in the process."
I could not have said it better myself. Also Suseonline, what is wrong with trying to reduce violence in a holistic way, reduce all violence = reduce specific violence. I am not a violent person, yet I am highly offended by women who say "men" (as a collective term) are violent. It has nothing to do with "women finally standing up for themselves" but rather the shotgun scatter, they are all the same so who cares mentality that offends me. A small percentage of any ethnic minority (just like any other part of the community) commit crimes yet imagine the uproar if I were to say that they all do. However I am forced to put up with the same thing from women, painting me as a violent individual just because I am male. It is in no way acceptable and that is why I am offended. It's time to find some new words Suseonline, the ones in use now are out of date! Posted by Arthur N, Friday, 15 February 2013 11:02:57 AM

...The truth is it’s an ineffective male that cannot lend himself to a bit of violence when violence is called for, (e.g. in times of self-defense and war for example).
...There is definitely a place for violence in this world and it is a role best served by the male of the species! Discrediting violence in the male is simply a further feminist step along the road towards a world of the subservient “effeminate” and ineffectual male, and one more advance towards homosexuality as the norm not the exception; another of the feminist love affairs!

Don't be offended by me Arthur, as of course everyone wants all violence reduced, not just you.
No one is saying all men are violent, or that all women are rabid feminists out to disempower men! But I don't see why stating that male v male violence, and male v female violence is by far the most evident in our society is so threatening to you. Check the police data if you don't believe me. Unless some men get off their high horse and admit there are problems only they can solve, then we will get no where. Posted by Suseonline, Friday, 15 February 2013 9:44:03 PM

leave this alone mate...they are not us, and we are not them...
its another female organized thing...where one event is used to spear head a legal change that eventually empowers females...and females group on bandwagon automatically(I include theior obedient male faithfuls here) refuse to reason the situation...as doing so will defeat their ultimate hidden goal...so just bag on on the official line and spout unprovable facts to support the claim and organize mass rallies, and once goal achieved keep at it escalating its power reach and scale till it removes almost all accountability of their own acts, and makes them guaranteed victims in any situation and so full governmental free support and benefits...so do whatever they want eg here dress any way, send any sexual signals...flirt and encourage...till in private...then wait for the moment...to claim rape...and guaranteed to succeed...while legal ramifications to the male of 'rape' is kept to its original severe crime status and fully enforced...so thats their justice huh?...
eg India now, and how rape definition is being widened to include even touching without permission...worse attempting to corrupted established legal process by using some government 'committee' to bring in changes that by law excludes any past evidence of woman to be included...so she could be a serial "rape' accuser and carry on winning...as these events its usually only the two alone...
and abortion...it started with a specific focal situation where womans health was at risk...and this was a very high standard to meet legally...since theyve been plugging to now...just now wanting the unborn baby is enough to kill without any further requirement bar some superficial counselling if any...
domestic violence, equal employment...and any other woman organized and achieved...when one looks at it closely...the same pattern arises...and conclusion is its not about equality or vulnerability...but furthering power and control by monitoring and enforcing...
so leave it alone...these things have a natural cycle of their own...all "cyles" end...
