It is a tribute to feminism and the university system that a person can be employed in TWO universities, and can wander through those universities and not notice that they have been built by men, and then wander through the libraries and not notice that the vast majority of textbooks have been written by men, and then form the conclusion that men are over-sexed and in need of medication.

I have offered this exercise to over a dozen different people on OLO over time and not one has ever been able to complete the exercise.

Can you find an article published by an academic feminist in an Australian university that says one good thing about the male gender (best of luck in finding it).

I also think it is important to note some of the drugs that are being prescribed for women

For example: -

SYNAREL / LUCRIN / ORGALUTRAN / CETROTIDE: -Suppresses the ovaries and controls ovulation and therefore enables the doctor to time the intervention into the cycle more precisely and thus collect better quality eggs for fertilisation.

Side effects: -You may experience hot flushes, dizziness, bone pain, headaches, redness and itching around the injection site, nausea, breast tenderness and swelling.

The author very much supports IVF that uses these drugs, and while the author seems to oppose drugs to increase a woman’s sexual libido, the author shows no opposition to the drugs that are being used during IVF to conceive without sexual intercourse with a man.

I doubt that this was just an oversight by the author.

Vanna, how on earth do you know what the author did or did not think about while wandering the corridors of universities?

Can you find 'proof' that she didn't think about the men who built that building? No of course not.

I imagine that as an academic she would be impressed by the architecture of the the universities, regardless of who built them!

I don't agree at all with the author re dulling men's sexual urges, unless they are dangerous urges- such as those men who rape women or children.

As for IVF, what on earth is your problem there?
I suppose it is a religious objection you have? Many religious men don't like losing control of women's fertility.
Is that your opinion?

Women attending IVF clinics are often there because their men want to have children with them. Quite often it is the male sperm that is the problem with them getting pregnant.
Does this make it any easier for you to accept?

It almost always has NOTHING to do with the woman not wanting to have sex with a man. Most of the women I know like to have sex with their partners.

Suzie have a better look at the nature of those posts from benq and how unfair they were. benq had set out to try and portray all of us who consider the CSA to act with bias to only do so because we are unwilling to support our children and because decisions went the other against us. Is that really fair?

I'd been attacked for not being able to present clear evidence of bias to support my opinion but the reality is that bias is often very hard to prove externally. Benq had behaved in a way clearly targetted to shut down our opinions about CSA by fathers who feel that it acts with gender bias. We are not one size fit's all, not all of us have tried to avoid legitimate responsibilities for children and some of us are capable of trying to look at things with some objectivity.

Would you have me pop into a thread and tell vanna or formersnag how wonderful they are because they are getting a hammering from other posters regardless of the role they had played in the debate?

I've noticed that vanna imagines all sorts of dire things about what happens in universities, but shows little evidence of ever having set foot in one.

R0bert - benq hasn't participated in this thread. What does your beef with their comments in another discussion entirely have to do with Cannold's rather ordinary article?

C J Morgan,
I have often thought that the most pitiful display of a male (and perhaps of a human-being) would be the weak-kneed, limp-wristed, jelly-bellied wonders who call themselves male, and are employed in a university, but do not object to the continuous denigration of the male gender by feminists at the university.

It has now reached the situation where a feminist is employed by TWO universities as a medical ethicist, and suggests that males should be medicated because they are over-sexed, but the weak kneed, limp-wristed, jelly-bellied wonders who call themselves male still raise no objection.

Next these weak kneed, limp-wristed, jelly-bellied wonders who call themselves male will line up and volunteer to take medication to reduce their sex drive, so as to please the feminist.

Also note that Suzanonline is now the last person in a growing list that could not find any literature from an academic feminist at an Australian university that says one good thing about the male gender.

Far from being a means to expand the mind, universities are actually one of the main centers for discrimination inside the country, if denigration of the male gender is regarded as discrimination.

vannakins, when were you last at a university? You really don't seem to have a clue how they work. Lots of people have appointments at several universities these days. Besides which, universities are places where diversity of opinion is encouraged.

What was that university subject about relieving men of their money and semen that you claimed existed? Don't tell me, it's taught at those universities where you've never been, which is why you can't provide any details about it.
