Yes. There was a lot of anger in 2023. Maybe the Leftists/Marxists/Communists sensing that the tide just might be turning against them?

Clementine Ford? Yuck! Is she still around?

People like her only exist because of an audience that most of us are not part of: very small, very stupid losers who hate everything, including themselves.

There are to queer groups that hate gender specific groups. As the author notes.

One group are man hating hairy legged "females". The other an equally small group of effeminate/self-loathing/self-denial homosexuals, who as a group, hate females. D.D.?

Is it competition, as it would seem, for desired sexual partners/lovers?

The author could fit very well into the latter category? As she attacks female sexually abused females.

Is it all about money for this "female", or are we missing something? Something that comes across as (ground hog day) broken record repetition, crusading zeal?

I find myself in agreeance with Fords conclusions.
The abysmal state of womanhood is only exceeded by the pathetically introverted and conceited state of manhood.

The worth of the male is only valued in his usefulness in supplying dollars towards the upkeep of Women’s fantasies.

A woman has always a greater value to men than the reverse, so keep on with the truth Clementine.

Nobody is asking why?
We all have instincts to do all sorts of things.
Why are harmful instincts sometimes so strongly represented in a persons 'character'?
In this case, does financial gain play a part?
Does anybody know?

Poor Bettina
Such a triggered snowflake.

Saw a report by a church organisation on this subject matter. And like them I see a fair bit of tongue in cheek in the comment and not to be taken quite so literally as the "lady" has.

Not very many women are domestic monsters bashing spouse, children and beloved pets alike, in an effort to enslave their partners and have a compliant slave that obeys all commands, especially on the topic of sex.

All they want and demand is their partner open the legs and allow full penetration on demand.

A horse or cow is more valued.

My Sister was bashed within an inch of her life and spent months is hospital undergoing facial reconstruction and complete dental replacement with new in gum dentures.

Broken jaw, cheekbone and what remained of her teeth were just broken stumps.

She saved and worked into the night to find a deposit for a new home and a car. Her money put food on the table and paid all the household bills, all while he pissed his up against the wall.

Anita would probably have defended this knuckle dragging sub-human/Nazi monster? But not for anything more than the notoriety and a handsome fee?

Or are we seeing a mutual admiration society!?

Her spirited defence makes one wonder!

Dearest Al.

Our male hating contender in this article, is on the right track for the wrong selfish reasons I believe. My research.

The family unit has been demolished by ideologues of the Communist type, driving wedges between partners who otherwise could work out domestic un-bliss without murder the main tool.

Positive incentive for mutual family unity ,which incorporates a combined input of both partners to achieve a progressive and incremental march towards an inclusive bonding of the family unit based on work ethic and mutual respect', was a previous offering in society from a Christian belief system embraced for the purpose.

Society has abandoned that offering, and seems now to be attaching itself to Islam in increasing numbers, leading it in the wrong direction to accomodate less violence rather than more.

What utter hypocrisy.

If 2023 was indeed “the year of living angrily … characteristic of personal immaturity, it was by its nature opportunistic, rushing to the target of the moment, like a child rushing to a new toy”, as Henry Ergas claimed, then Bettina Arndt is surely part of the problem, as her deceptive and spiteful columns attacking Brittany Higgins, Grace Tame et al demonstrate repeatedly.

Arndt’s column concludes: “Let's start the New Year by working to rein in this woman's divisive bile.” I hope she was looking in the mirror as she wrote it

I don't like Clementine Ford- but she may be changing her tune. Obviously her historical comment of "kill all men" (or all men are complicit in a culture of rape/ all white people are complicit in racism) is murderously bigoted. Often I see Ford as the archetypical angry female teenager- "you're not the boss of me". She seems to demonstrate the failures of Arts faculties- in her case at The University Of Adelaide- in her lack of worldly understanding but extreme commitment to the academy's communist push.

Generally I've liked Bettina Arndt at least since she has been advocating for male/ female partnerships rather than warfare

I don’t like Clementine Ford either. But it’s important to recognise the genre she writes in. It is often a form of polemic – deliberately using excessive and shocking language to get her message across. Specifically, it is “ironic misandry”. In my view it’s a stupid and nasty genre and she does it badly. But it is wrong to assume she means it literally when she says “kill all men”, or that she expects her readers to take her literally, or that they actually do.
