Bravo Romany you're now associated with this....

From Wikipedia, re the VM...
'In "The Little Coochie Snorcher that Could", a lesbian encounter between a very young woman (13 originally, 16 in revised versions) and a mature woman uses the line: "If it was rape, it was good rape."'

'But proud to be ranked alongside Fonda, Morrisette, Blanchett and inslet - brave, strong women all....'

I did respect them, once upon a time, Alanis impressed me and my fellow security guards (all with penises) when we escorted her to a radio interview. She was charming, down-to-earth but then I saw this....

Alanis re: c**ts

So glad you're ranked along side her Romany? Have you ever watched any of your heroines perform this play?

A workmate of mine attends a christian mens group that meets in the Blue Mountains. Up to 2500 men attend and they talk about the need to be good fathers, good providers, good role models and the challenges involved in doing so but without the victimhood. It never makes the papers because it's not sensational enough, it's just white heterosexual men doing what they do best, or worst according to your lot. Perhaps if they talked endlessly about their c**ks or minced lewdly through the city streets then they'd be taken seriously. Another thing that would get them noticed would be to criticize women but they never do.

This is what I imagined feminism to be about, quietly achieving results, earning respect due to meritous actions but no, it's now a victimhood cult, no-one forces women to behave the way Mary describes.

If you ever wonder why young women are becoming what they are then consider this...

Garbage like this is performed in 'places of higher learning' throughout the western world. What sort of role models are they? This play is meant to be, among other things about stopping violence against women. Seeing this would anyone take it seriously?

Well you, Mary, Frank and few others may,

Tell us more about your recital Romany, I'd love to hear about it.

Good to see you posting JamesH

So, Carnifex, you would “love to hear” about my, uh "little recital", huh?

Well, I did speak about childhood sexual abuse experiences. And getting expelled from my exclusive boarding school when I reported the priest for doing the same. I also spoke about getting raped at 17. And being sodomised and having cigarettes stomped out on my body.

I mentioned having my children woken up in the night so they could witness their father beating me against walls and telling them that all women are sluts. And other marital anecdotes which would probably offend your sensibilites.

I also spoke about being thrown into an African jail; about trying to escape from a war zone with two dependant children; about hiding and starving and changing our names and running for two years - and being betrayed every step of the way.

But mostly I described life on the bones of our backsides when we got here while providing sanctuary for street boys: - and standing up to their “fences”; and colluding with the police to uncover rackets involving these kids. I spoke about being evicted because of this and being homeless; - but still sitting my first semester exams in Uni, working pro-bono for Mental Health and lecturing at night about male suicide.

I talked of the doco I made about the old men and women Australia casts aside to live in the streets. And living on $160 a week while studying and coping with my sons problems: - but constantly writing articles and plays and being asked for advisory papers by Government on the homeless and the poor. Of being a suicide interventionist; and getting called out in the middle of the night to rescue abandoned kids on urine soaked mattresses.

And much, much more.

I also talked about bringing up my boys to be strong, compassionate and proud to be men. And to believe the world is full of good people.

So tell me, what do you do apart from being judgemental about people you don’t even know? I’d love to hear.

Dont mean to respond for Carnifex, but you life strikes me as amazingly exceptional. I would like to know more and perhaps talk to people whom shared these moments with you. Why, perhaps its because your average Australian is unlikely to experience such.

Not that I dont believe you, its that I have heard such terrible stories from women but on seeking factual verification leads nowhere... and you speaking on male suicide has got me intrigued ("...and lecturing at night about male suicide.") I would like to listen to your them, just a place and date... thanks

We sincerely hope they are compassionate enough to forgive you and strong enough to help you control the hypomania they had no choice in enduring. As for being proud to be men, this will take much more than deluded mentoring from their vaginal monologuing mother.

Ty CARNIFEX,

Romany you said that you lectured about male suicide.

I am interested to know what you say and what do you think is the major factor/s contriuiting to suicide.

Uh, before we leave the subject of strong, brave, compassionate men: - Hey Seeker - re your post: Nice one, buddy, real nice.
