Shirtfronting: the dangerous diplomacy of hypermasculine Australian politics : Comments

By Rob Cover, published 15/10/2014

In past decades, the most ideal form of masculinity in Australia was, indeed, epitomised by strength, brawn, roughness, larrikin behaviour and the refusal to let women and 'less-masculine men' dominate.

Yes there is some interesting stuff in the current edition of Uncensored Magazine (and all over the internet too) which describes how the downing of the Malaysian airplane was a deliberate "false flag" operation. And that the Ukraine crisis is also a deliberately fabricated exercise in extending USA hegemony and keeping Russia "in its place".

As far as I know Putin is a highly accomplished Judo practitioner. As such he would make very short work of the strutting speedo budgie.

Dear Mr Rob COVER...

Would you please define what's meant by this odd term of 'shirtfronting' ? As a gentleman who's obviously very well credentialed in matters of academia I was wondering if this term has some psychological or sociological importance ? I can't find either the term 'shirtfront' or 'shirtfronting' in the Oxford Dictionary, so how can it be so risky or hazardous ? If such a word, doesn't exist ? Please explain if you will Sir or sorry, Doctor ?

"Hegemonic masculinity", what a load of arse.
Rob Cover is a man hating Feminist ,like the Islamic convert the male Feminist always has to go that step further into extremist rhetoric to prove his commitment to the cause.

A snide, uncalled for, and dishonest attack by Rob Cover on the Prime Minister, even stooping to application of the baseless “misogynist” label.

Tony Abbot works best on strategy, and organisation, and is sometimes lacking in public relations, but he is the best and most effective PM we have had since Howard. We can do without Cover’s petty, vacuous effort.
