Fair comment, CHERFUL, and sorry about my tone.

For what it's worth, I don't think the new measure against single mums is the spitefulness of the "Goddess-in-Prada sisters".
It's about the economy, pure and simple.
The economy was why women were driven out into the workforce, and now single mums. It was never about empowerment for women; that's just the spin.
The economy must grow and it takes increasingly more cashed-up consumers to service it. The dole is just a drain on the public purse and it doesn't provide any real spending power or, ergo, any economic growth.
In Labor's case, they can rationalise the measure as a way to create jobs, which they see as their (impossible) mandate.
We should long since have entered a phase whereby jobs and salaries are shared on part-time bases, but the same problem; the money would just be spread around more thinly and the economy would be deflated. Thus everything is pitched at keeping the system vicious and lean, even while we get fatter (62% now of the population).
It's all about the economy and nothing to do with gender or age.

Our getting fatter is another economic outcome. Paltry as the dole is, it's vacuumed up by bottom-feeders; fast food, soft drink, cheap booze vendors and the like. Thus we have, what did I hear yesterday, some 450,000 Queenslanders alone "living in poverty", even while they get fatter, drunker and more cracked.
The wealthy elite of course--the Gods and Goddesses in Prada--are protected from all such viciousness as paying tax, eating junk food or getting fat, thoroughly distasteful all of them.

Dear Squeers,

Couldn't agree more with your assessment of the snouts in the
trough. The rest of us are merely gun fodder they keep around,
to put between them and any invading or perceived enemies, plus the money they can make out of us.

They and their children of course will be nowhere near the gun fodder
ranks.

Not all women are nice people and not all nice women are nice all the time.

If other citizens are labelled misogynists and treated with disrespect for saying so then there will be no justice in society and ultimately a very costly breakdown in social order.

All citizens should be judged by their behaviour, and yes decency of dress and language are important behaviours. You cannot exclude them from judging social conflicts out of fear of being legally deemed a misogyist. That is a mockery of justice. Only lawyers (mostly alpha males) & their political masters could find this acceptable in modern society. It simply transfers judicial power from the people to the rich in society, using women as a bullwark.
Women will be no better off. They will just find themselves abused by the rich more often than they are now while attempts at legal justice fall on deaf ears!

Its nothing new. Its called aristocracy (let them eat cake syndrome) and its been around since the dawn of time.

The Only upside is it ALWAYS get its up-commance in the end and at great social cost. Always!

ITM women are attracted to evil men. Its part of evolution and breeding. Women call it 'EASY Street' for God's sake. When they get hurt and dumped the only men they can hook & get hold of for revenge are decent citizens with good hearts. It would be hilarious if it weren't so tragic.

Police and justice officials need to be trained better to spot these situations not just in the name of justice but in order to maintain social harmony. To allow women the right to hook and abuse reasonable citizens as pure revenge for being hurt by others is in itself a crime and an abrogation of basic decency. It renders the term misogyny TOTALLY irrelevant and the search for the 'Qui Bono' (who's benefitting from the situation) the NEW imperative.

And another thing!

On the topic of 'Qui Bono', Barry O'Greiner's sudden push for the billion dollar Packer Casino cathedral in Sydney (see today's Herald) is relevant here.

It will be a chick magnet with women looking for high rollers and bad boys. And when these women get hurt and fleeced, guess where they will head?
Down to the local supermarket to bag some decent blokes out of revenge.

Fancy a NSW leader trying to run a State by feeding off the weaknesses of its own citizens. In the long run the social costs will far outweigh any profit except for a few conniving ghouls!

Shame on you Barry for this short term and vested interest thinking!

Here's a tip ladies - when you lose at the new casino, take your mysogyny-rage out on Barry at his home address.
