The Amazons and bints are not interested in equality: supremacy is the goal. They will get it, too, if it's left up to lefty limp males and silly old men fantasising that are still attractive to women.

Alison jane,
i watched that thing for want of a better description waffle on, giving Nancy Pelosi a run for her money. At first glance it actually looked like Abbott in drag !

Thanks Cindy McGarvie for the article- long over due.

Bettina Arndt- AM is also good value in this area.

Alan B said "One woman a week dies at the hands of a controlling partner!"

Answer- I wonder how many men die from suicide due to the current ideological nightmare of feminism in policy and law.

In old times the woman got the children and the man got the property- so both sides lost something if things didn't work out- so they tried to work it out. A man that was a womanizer was an outcast in the community. Now the woman gets the children and the property and the earnings of the man for the term of his natural life. In this regime there doesn't seem to be much incentive for the woman to work out the problems.

It seems that this feminist experiment will end western civilization- I hope that the feminist communists and their "useful idiot" hanger-on-ers will be happy when the end comes- Communist Cultural Hegemony.

Women can also be abusive in the family- see Munchhausen Syndrome by Proxy.

Solving family problems by the blunt instrument of government agencies run largely in favor of women's interests (hiding behind the interest of the child) sounds like a recipe for male slavery. But men don't complain because that is not how they deal with things. Feminist's say that Men should give up their pride... well no.

In the animal kingdom male's are the soldiers, hunters, protectors; female's are the nurturers, gatherers, homemakers- this seems to be hardwired. Males and Females have different roles in group behavior and survival. Human's are not the same as animals but they are subject to the same evolutionary influences.

There are those that believe in the Tabula rasa theory of gender nihilism- this is similar to other theories of "class nihilism" present in Communism.

I don't agree with everything here but it covers the subject reasonably well. http://iep.utm.edu/nihilism/

Family issues are complex and emotive and ultimately may be unsolvable. Hopefully as a society Australia will be able to return to some level of sanity with more traditional cultural norms where all parties can reach some sort of closure- however painfully- and continue with their lives wiser and more productive.

Thanks again Cindy McGarvie for the article.

Today for their part men, after some hesitancy,
have generally reacted positively to the growing
equality of women. In fact, their own roles, being
complimentary to those of women, are inevitably in
some flux also. Men are now permitted a more gentle
and expressive personality than would have been
considered appropriate a few decades ago.

The 1950s "John Wayne" image of manhood has less and
less appeal to both sexes. Like the feminine role,
the masculine role is now more ambiguous, more
flexible, more subject to interpretation by the
individual.

Resolving this kind of ambiguity is part of the
challenge of social and cultural change. Under the old
system, everyone knew what their roles were, and most
people unquestionably behaved as they were "supposed"
to. The system constrained people, but it freed them from
the need to make choices. There are fewer constraints today,
but the individual now has the liberty (or the burden) to
choose his or her own path to self-fulfillment.

Our society today is more individualistic and highly
open to change and experimentation. Today men and women are
exploring a wide variety of possible roles.

True liberation from the restriction of gender would mean
that all possible options would be open and equally
acceptable for both sexes. Then a person's individual
human qualities, rather than his or her biological sex,
would be the primary measure of that person's worth and
achievement.

I look forward to "Foxy" explaining us all to its version of evolution etc...!
