benk I doubt that severin cares at all about the long length skirt etc, she used those words to paint a picture of religious busy bodies who spend their time trying to impose their own concept of morals on others. What Robert Heinlein used to call Mr's Grundy. One christian writer I enjoy referred to his churches "spot it and stop it" committee to describe such people.

MTR and possibly Abigale (based on two articles by her published on OLO so far) seem to try and use a superficial dressing of feminism and the worst portrayal of an issue they can find to attack sexual freedom for others. Like runner and others they perhaps should have a good hard look at just how much of their efforts are spend thinking about what they imagine other peoples depravities to be.

For those who take the bible seriously perhaps they could take the following a little more seriously "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworlthy - think about such things." Philippians 4:8

A constant focus on what they believe other sexual lives are like does not really seem to fit unless they think all of that is noble, right, pure and lovely.

Very well said, R0bert.

benk, you seem to have a different understanding of what constitutes 'feminism' than most of us. Would you mind elaborating on what you take the ideolog/ies to include, and how the activities of Coc de Mer 'sell them out'?

Yes well... the only thing I found vaguely interesting about this article was the statement <" “Betony Vernon Sado Chic Masturbation Mirror” liberates your sexuality so that you can “Observe your own pleasure and watch as you reach the heights of sexual ecstasy”."

Not much use if your eyes are closed though... :)

Other posters obviously got more out of this mindless article than I did.

Al Rich found Islam and the Tower of Babylon in the article? Right.

Benk thinks the whole porn, sex toy industry was brought on by those vile feminists. Men, of course, are never involved in this sort of depravity.

Runner is upset about the 'amoral Green voters'.
Not sure what that means Runner?
Are all Green voters amoral followers of porn and sex toys are they?
None of the people from other political parties are involved then

Excellent post - nice to know when one has been understood.

I agree this is one of the lamest articles yet to be excreted from those earnest Christians MTR et al.

How long since OLO has had any articles from real women? I suppose I should qualify what I mean by 'real women' but ones who aren't aligned with any political parties or religions. Maybe an actual female journalist (yeah, radical); I acknowledge the recent contributions from Nina Funnell, but would love to see some work from the calibre of Jenny Brockie, Geraldine Doogue or Monika Attard.

Severin:

You want articles written by "real women?"

Female journalists employed by SBS and the ABC are the only "real women" saying anything worth listening to?

What are you talking about? I really want to know. You're point of view is unique.

Secularist are winning with dirty little cultures destroying families. None more obvious than the example being set by the likes of Branson whose staff are only following their leader. No wonder no kids are safe as perverts feed their lusts and want others to join in.
