Why women covet everything traditionally reserved for men.

Fortunately I am at a stage of life where I don't care what women want, think, or like. As for cycling, anyone who does it amongst motor vehicles is nuts, male or female. And if motorists are 4 times more likely to mow down female cyclists, how stupid does that make the females! Do they crave victimhood that badly?

Perhaps they could all go to Melbourne, where people often complain about Dan's bike lanes; they came up quite a lot during the election campaign. Or, maybe that's where frustrated right wing motorists are trying to mow down girlies-for-Dan-on-bikes.

Don't see much of a problem here. In fact, would welcome some role reversal in many areas. If only to establish certainty about what her indoors wants!

As for men's sheds, the blokes need to start turning up at CWA association meetings. If only to underline the need for some gender specific associations/meeting places/clubs.

It is blatantly obviously how public administration is falling apart in Queensland. Important areas such as health ambulance, police public transport all suffering.

It should come as no surprise this has followed public administration in the state becoming a girls club, with most of the ladies promoted to their 3Rd or 4Th level of incompetence, as against most bureaucrat males reaching only their first level of incompetence.

It’s the fault of men really.

They misunderstand the necessary moment to remove the old dog from the house, and tie it up umder a tree.

“Women thinks about theyselves when menfolk aren’t around”.
TTH.

Study this link for the answer why blokes need to escape, many of them permanently.

Well Bettina,
I do agree that men should have their own sheds
Men need to spend time with other men just as women need to spend time with other women. I personally have furnished a room where I can sew or play ukuele for 2-3 hours.

I don't agree with men with penises being in women's dressing rooms
Too dangerous for my children and grandchildren.

I think the Western world has become overfeminised. It makes an attack by countries like China more probable when they sense that weakness in our armies.

Blokes have always ruled the planet. And blokes have always had fellow-travellers like Bettina, to make their fragile egos feel better.

As per the famous aphorism: 'Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.'

One of the issues i have is the reverse discrimination is allowed, you're allowed to have women only spaces because women might feel threatened. Women only swimming enclosures, womens only gyms etc are all allowed.

Down at Moreton Bay there are groups of cyclists every weekend, packs of 20 or more at times, 9 out of 10 are men, I see no problem. Here is Ms Arndt fabricating another non-issue. "Why do so many women have it in for male cyclists?" Didn't hear that one on the 6 o'clock news.

"Fortunately I am at a stage of life where I don't care what women want, think, or like." Are you saying you can't accommodate them anyway? Plenty of old men who act like old women on the Forum, they must be seeking gender equality in their twilight years.

I see results showing that education in Queensland has fallen through the floor to the lowest state in the country. Another area taken over completely by the girls club.
