Sandilands: offensive, and more : Comments

By Helen Pringle, published 5/12/2011

Intimidation and threats on the basis of race or sex are offensive and no path to equality.

Hasbeen,
That could be good advice, turn the TV off.

For any male bashing feminist or academic, they could instead listen to love songs, nearly all of which are sung by men.

Or they could read love stories, nearly all of which are written by men.

Or they could watch a love movie, nearly all of which are produced by men.

After that, they might even have something positive to say about men.

One can only hope they can overcome their bigotry and narrow mindedness about men.

I've deleted Vanna's last comment, and could have deleted more. It is completely off-topic.

On another note I think Runner has a point. Not often I agree with him, but I think there is something to be said for the idea that public discourse has coarsened to an extraordinary degree since say the 60s and that Kyle and Deveney are but the logical end points. The only difference between the two is the audience they appeal to.

I don't disagree that Kyle is sexist, but in a completely erratic manner, abusing both sexes. The sexism doesn't worry me too much as it is not much more than name calling. It's the name calling I find particularly offensive.

Perhaps I didn't make myself clear.

The only time I have seen the twit is in promos. That has been enough to ensure that I would never watch anything which featured him.

I can't believe, how anyone could think some nothing/no one like him was worth writing an article about.
