Are men fools and clowns? Why media images of men matter : Comments

By Peter West, published 8/9/2014

The publicity officer of the NSW Teachers Federation said that she wanted to live in a world without men. This may please many women, but it doesn't offer much to men.

OTB, I worked in nursing homes for 10 years, so I don't need to be told by you what goes on there and why. I already know.
It is a fact that dementia often causes aggression in elderly males, that's all I am saying.

Phanto, if you don't agree that men in our world carry out the bulk of physical violence and death against others, then you can carry on living in denial.
I have stated what I think several times now, and I am finished with this subject.

The classic put-down. It seems you are not averse to a bit of aggression and hurtfulness yourself. It is enough to simply say you disagree with me.

No Phanto, I don't just disagree with you, I know I am right.
That is not being aggressive.
See you on another thread.

Have a lovely weekend.
Cheers,
Suse.

"That is not being aggressive."

Who are you trying to convince?

I’ve been away for a few days, so haven’t been following OLO, and this thread appears to have run its course. However, just in case you are still lurking …

‘Killarney, my views on feminism and women's rights are just as important as yours, yet you seem to conclude that only your views are right?
How terribly patriarchal of you!’

Of course your views are just as important! And my views are not ‘right’, just open ended.

I wouldn’t make those comments if I didn’t respect your views. When feminism criticises the patriarchy, that criticism is not limited to men. Women are also brainwashed by patriarchal attitudes and it’s important for feminists to hold women to account.

I may be wrong in my observation that you are condemning the woman you referred to as a ‘militant feminist’ because, like so many women living under a patriarchy, we are brainwashed to objectify women as ‘good’ and ‘bad’. However, I threw my observations to you as a possible challenge to make you think.

No offence (or patronisation) intended.
