Indi, it is perverse but not all Feminists are women, a great number are Men and they're the most wretched and deranged of all:

The relatively new "Toxic Masculinity" meme is beyond the pale, this whole White Ribbon nonsense has to stop, the guys in that video actually come right out and say that male Feminists are worshippers of women.

AU women have lost the plot. There are hundreds of asian women coming to AU as wives, and they make good wives, old style and very possessive.

I'm wondering if anybody else noticed a post by Rosarium early in the thread. http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=16039&page=0#278102

In particular
"Women are powerful, but their power lies in their virtue, in their maternal gifts (whether they are mothers or not)and in their role as the moral arbiters of society."

I get the impression that the sentiments expressed there have a lot in common with the sexism of the dominance feminists. A belief that women are somehow better people than men.

I've not seen any evidence that either gender holds a monopoly on decency, ethics, morality, virtue etc. At most women may generally be fonder of particular sexual morals which suit their own needs.

The genders do have differences in the tools we choose to achieve our objectives, we do have different drives but on balance I don't think a case can credibly be made to suggest one gender is or should be regarded as more virtuous.

Both genders have their greats and those who try to plumb the depths of low.

Good point, R0bert. Neither sex has a monopoly on morality or virtue. Though women do have a monopoly on nurturing a child from conception until birth, and that is a responsibility that does indeed set women apart from men.

Many of us have married while on overseas postings or while travelling. I can recommend Southern Italian: beautiful, forever slim, into cooking, home crafts and family (not jealous about 'his' extended family as applies so often in Oz, where some/many have inherited US female's jealousy of in-laws), multilingual, travelled and will work P/T.

Great to be able to sit around a huge table groaning with Mediterranean food here in Oz or O/T and all are welcomed. We all contribute and there isn't that beefing/confusion/awkwardness about roles and bitchiness.

I wasn't the only one who was fortunate, there are many of us about. :)

While there are many nice women in Oz and many of those can be found via water sports like lifesaving and sailing, there seems to be a lot of baggage around and in young singles too. Oz women just don't seem to know what they want and many are controlling, but directionless. I hate to say it but there is a heck of a lot of egocentrism and entitlement, 'Me, me, me' and laziness in Oz. The young men are not immune from that and so many are unsure of their role.

Go travel, guys ;)

Will "Feminism Gone Wild" be the movement that brings society crashing down?
