OZGIRL, nicely said. There are issues which need addressing but trying to turn it into a gender war is very harmfull.

Michael, what was your last post about? Have I missed some history to your comments because they seemed completely out of context with OZGIRLS comments.

What's with the generalised attack on this country? Do you need to start a "Dissing Australia" thread on the general discussion comments? I'm sure that you'll get plenty of takers with your opening salvo.

RObert, no attack on anyone and a country in general, but a realistic response to messages provided by the leaving on a different planet, true-blue-“fair go” Anglo- Australians, that is a only pattern impersonated with “Aussies” locally.

For a long time their was only a few female role-models for women in the western world.

Women are so used to it that when they see one female character they assume that character stands for all women.

Men know better. If one dude is a creep then he's a creep. what's he got to do with them?

A whole bunch of jerk characters around actually make him look better when he turns out to be such a good guy.

Good guy-bad guy, but reproduction rules!

Negative portrayals of men in the media and arts, particularly how men behave with other men, have been around for a long time. Look at the bible with Cain and Able. Even early silent films have depicted men treating each other poorly.

I have created a site to find positive portrayals of men's friendships
without destructive behavior, and one can find the link to it on
Michael Flood's XY web site.
