"A man could always supply a character reference to get a job and earn money and pay tax.

That's what men are good for.

I'll leave you as an after thought".

Vanna. I'm reasonably intelligent if a few bits of paper from the ANU are any indicator, but your last post that I've pasted above made absolutely no sense to me at all.

If you are trying to portray me as a man-hater, then like Briar Rose you have the wrong woman. Same life partner for quarter of a century, adult sons, and a range of male friends both new and old who I've never had the slightest doubt about in anyway re them being 'safe' males. They like women too. You could try it sometime.

However taking a hostile and pretty strange approach to people who express what I thought was a fairly benign opinion on public forums seems to be your thing, so go for it. I won't waste anymore time on it.

The plot thickens, either he is a dam good actor or the interview I just saw was fairdinkum.

And more details are emerging about McInnes, and Fraser Kirk, it would appear that Fraser Kirk is after blood, even though McInnes apologised.

I guess feminists blood lust wont be satisified until they manage to lynch these two men from the nearest tree and if they cant get these two blokes, there will be some sucker somewhere that cant defend himself very well that they will have a feeding frenzy on.

"Ms Fraser-Kirk is suing David Jones, Mark McInnes and nine company directors, seeking $37 million in punitive damages."

"In papers lodged with the Federal Court, Mr McInnes admits he hugged Ms Fraser-Kirk at one function but says he was saying goodbye to her and other staff and it was not a sexual advance."

I think $37 million is just not enough if an evil male tries to kiss a woman. $50 million should be the starting price for a kiss.

Perhaps $37 million if an evil male comes within 5 metres of a woman.

Vanna, I'm beginning to accept that nobody can post a comment on anything to do with male/female relations on these forums without incurring torrents of abuse from you.

It doesn't even matter if the argument they put forward is positive - you'll spin it and abuse them anyway.

Then there's your issues with academics and universities -

And when its a female academic expressing an opinion, you go nuclear.

I don't know where you're coming from, Vanna, but judging by your posts it doesn't sound like a good place.

Stop stereotyping people. And if you're looking to be offended, you'll find something in the most innocuous opinion to offend you.

Cornflower, thanks for apologising.

I think we must agree to disagree on this topic for the time being, as I'm travelling and won't be checking in.

Cheers

Briar rose,
I haven’t abused, or been intolerant of anyone, except men.

But it is annoying when someone writes the word “men” in brackets, as in “women (and men)".

They really should leave the word “men” out, and just write “women”.
