Tristan by all means, gaze at your navel all you like, just do it in your own time.

Your gazing will be about as useful as people who breed racehorses. Very interesting to people who bet on them, but a basically useless activity. However they, unlike your lot, don't expect to get funded by taxpayers to indulge in their interest.

Better than you, they have established an industry indulging in their hobby. Are they smarter than you, or not as arrogant as to believe their hobby is important to everyone.

Even more importantly, race horse breeders don't have some fool idea that their chattering makes them somehow superior to the majority. At least they have some proof that their ideas on horse genetics has a basis in science by their results, where not one of you can point to any proof of a single thing you promote.

In fact I think it fair to say that in humanities failures in both education & the rehabilitation of criminals, we have solid proof that you are mostly talking garbage.

Do be careful to disguise your arrogance a little, it is not becoming.

In simple terms there are only two areas of study the Sciences and the Humanities. One increases our understanding of the natural world, the other advises us how to manage ourselves.

At present, the humanities are dominated by Business Studies. Imagine, in the midst of this overwhelming glut of stuff and waste, we are focusing our children on how to best increase demand for more stuff and more waste.

As exampled by many posters here, Man's brute survival instincts resist civilizing. Our society continues to seduced by the alpha male adolescent. This stunted version of humanity sits in all the seats of power in our Governments, in our Public and Private companies.

Naturally, the semblance of what remains of the real humanities has donned the garb of the aggrieved female: post modernist and theorists.

Ah god save us. Clowns to the left of me Jokers to the right

Yebiga you really are hallucinating now:

"Our society continues to seduced by the alpha male adolescent. This stunted version of humanity sits in all the seats of power in our Governments, in our Public and Private companies."

Adam Bandt.

Every male in the ALP.

Clive Hamilton.

Hell, the more I think about it the snivelling beta drongo is everywhere.

Are you a 'male' Yebiga?

As I said
The minority response to the dominant alpha male is the aggrieved feminine
I think adam plAys the role well

My our gender should be irrelevant don't you think

"My our gender should be irrelevant don't you think"

The left never fail to astound me.

The left are lock stock and barrel behind AGW and the spin-off concepts of nature knows best, sustainability and the rest of this garbage. Now sexual differentiation is the basis of nature and how organisms reproduce, at least in the 'higher' animals and organisms; agamogenesis may exist in the single cell species but we'll leave Green politicians out of it.

So, if you advocate nature strongly then you'll have to accept men and women, mums and dads and the rest of it. So yes, your gender is relevant.

As for feminism in Marxism I do not subscribe to the prevailing view that Marxist was a cross-dresser.

Gender is of course very relevant in infinite ways.

Not sure it matters what the gender is of anonymous posters to a political thread. For a moment, I considered specifying this limitation on my previous post but dismissed it on the grounds of it being unnecessarily pedantic. Seems I was wrong.

I hope this helps you to anchor your focus.
