Hysteria takes no prisoners and solves no problems : Comments

By John Slater, published 18/7/2016

Waleed went on to criticize Price's word choice because the semantic origins of hysterical meant women 'were irrational or incapable of being rational because they had ovaries.'

I'd have to largely agree with John on this one.

I think we would all agree that domestic violence needs to stop the current practice of treating all men as violent sex crazed thugs is not going to help

Not to worry.

Q&A is so PC ABC, by Lefty wets, for wet Lefties.

The ABC , its' political programs and particularly many of those "progressive Elites" have become irrelevant in todays world.

"Todays world " starts 2 k outside of any Capital City in Australia

A good article that tells the truth. Social disadvantage due to lack of work, homelessness, poverty and the consequent educational disadvantage makes people angry, frustrated, depressed, and ready to snap and blame whoever is nearest. You can see it an all animal species...when they feel trapped, they lash out.
Reducing social services, lowering pensions, sub standard housing and overcrowding, sending jobs off shore, destroying the manufacturing sector and the satisfying jobs that went with it, all in the name of economic rationalism that makes the rich richer and the poor very much poorer, is a recipe for social divisiveness, violence and what we are now seeing. Most family violence isn't sexist, it's pure desperation finding an outlet.

yep when the abc has a feminist who once claimed that Bindy Irwin at the age of about 13 needed to get laid she was cheered. Usually anyone that speaks truth and exposes the lies of the feminist/polictical elite is booed on Q&A. Only our unis could produce such down self righteous fools. I am sure many of them belong to the getup drongos. It is all about sides to them. On one occasion one of their favourite daughters says Gillard has a big bum and they all laugh. Steve Price tells a hysterical blubbermouth women not to be hysterical and they act in shock. I am totally against dv but after listening to that woman I understand it.

Most of the hysteria about hysteria could've been avoided if Price had clarified to Van that it was nothing to do with her ovaries.

It is't really a left v right issue; more a disagreement among individuals about the link between banter and attitudes to women.

Hysteria is Def Leppard's best album, but in other contexts it's usually worth avoiding.
