Dear Suze,

Thanks so much - I'm glad that someone else saw what this author is trying to say.

RObert,

You thinking like a Western man - which is perfectly understandable.
But we're dealing with an entirely different world here - a world
that for most of us - we can't even begin to comprehend.

Lexi I'd noticed that, I've tried to comprehend what the author is saying and acknowledge that I don't think I'm getting it. There are still bit's that I do get and bit's I don't.

I've tried to keep my comments relevant to stuff that I think should hold regardless of those constraints.

Luciana,
I think I know what you are getting at, and I think I know what the author is getting at.

I think what the author is suggesting (or wants), is that women should be given special privileges.

But in the case of refuges, men could simply say that they were female, and then get special privileges.

Indeed some years ago, the only people left in detention centres in Australia were men, and all the women were taken out. So it would have been worthwhile for the men to say that they were women, and then get released.

The author would have to be feminist influenced by quoting people such as Andrea Dworkin, but typically fails to mention one good think about men.

I don’t think Andrea Dworkin did either.

Such as the number of men who risked their lives ,or lost their lives trying to end the atrocities in places such as Bosnia.

The words bigotry and feminism are interchangeable.

I'm going to look up countries which are female dominated from politics to business, from religion to education to see how differently men are treated there.

I'll let y'all know what I discover.... when I discover such countries.

;P

Dear RObert,

Fair enough.

Ammonite,

"female dominated from politics to business"

Have you ever wondered why?

If women were more inclined to politics and business, they should have floated to the surface a long time ago, and now would dominate everything from politics to business.

The focus now, is why do women continuously highlight anything bad men do, but never praise anything good men do.

Is this because of their education?

No of course not.

It couldn't be because of their education.
