By Sylvia Else, published 19/5/2005

Sylvia Else argues society should bear more of the cost of marriage breakdowns to encourage us to have more children.

kalweb,
That’s very interesting about feminists in universities, but I can assure you that such male-hate feminist lecturers are still in the university system, and a number of them seem to be trying to spread their anti-male sentiments within nursing courses for some reason.

However I have never known a feminist (of any version) to say how much abortion is too much, or how much male suicide is too much, or how much divorce is too much, or how much welfare is to much, or how many single female parent families are too many, or how many children who hardly see their fathers are too many. It seems that their philosophy is the more the better.

I also think that feminists have now begun to paint women into a corner. Through their propaganda, they have devalued men, fathers, marriage and children. So this only leaves work for women, but many women are now finding work to be not all that satisfying, particularly if they are single and have no family, and will have to work until they are 65 or older.

Most things go in circles, and I would even bet that feminists will start to say that they actually like men, fathers, marriage and children, now that they see what is left in life after those things are removed.

Yes Timkins I agree with you 100%! I hold some Feminist values and I hold many Traditional values - of which I am vehemently proud.

I must be different from most other women. I really like men - singular - and as a group. I find men are more loyal in friendships. They do not compete with me and I do not compete with them. In fact, my best mates/friends are male and I would not have it any other way.

I know I am generalising as most people do - but at least I am being honest. I think men overall are more honest than women. They get straight to the point - eliminate the b....... Women, from my experience, are manipulators of the highest order.

When I have an argument with a male I feel safe! Men get to the point - stick to it - get it over and done with - and bury whatever the issue is. I cannot say the same for the female species.

Wow Timkins! The Feminists will no doubt have my guts for garters on the grounds that I do not understand their brand of feminism (lower case).

And you are spot on re female nurse academics! Many dangerous people in that regard.

Cheers
Kay

hello trade215, me being "SEXIST" probably has helped a few old ladies and men off the bus etc, and made some unexpected smiles etc . it's probably led to me having a fairly big family with its attendent responsibilities . however i'll admit it ,some of my wife's nursing mates would probably like to choke me at times. most also say that while they remain married , [and middle aged ] they most likely would not marry again. is this hormones, or lack of them talking i wonder ? we are just blokes ...what's wrong with that ??

young men can no longer rely on the committment to long term marriage in Australia of a large percentage of young women .sadly it appears that Australian men are now looking to women of other nationalities to be wives and mothers of their children . unmarried and childless is no good for either sex or our society , i believe it weakens it and that's not good .

Personally, l will always help a person if l FEEL like it, which is almost always.

l do it because it is respectful and courteous and makes me feel good.

l dont really care about the silly politics but l will not go out of my way to be thanked in the form of sniggering condascension by the politically brainwashed who read non-existent psuedo-intellectual/political/psychoanalytical garbage into a simple act of connecting with the human beings around me.

l know exactly who those sniggering fools are and my only thoughts about them is that the might be happy if they could just get over themselves.
