Hard to believe, but apparently even feminists can be sexy … : Comments

By Audrey Apple, published 3/1/2008

'Zoo' magazine’s latest stunt is designed not to, as it argues, appease critics but to poke fun at women who disagree with their childish behaviour.

Yes, funny how he keeps insisting over and over that others keep searching but refuses to do any legwork himself.

I suppose that's easier than backing his own wild claims. It's getting transparent though.

At the beginning of Audreys article, it said;

"'Zoo' magazine’s latest stunt is designed not to, as it argues, appease critics but to poke fun at women who disagree with their childish behaviour."

HRS discovered that on Audreys website that she has "the author’s blogsite, and is included under the banner of “Boys are made of slime and snails”.

Now it, may all be tongue in cheek, but I find it hypocritical that whilst Audrey finds ZOO magazines tongue in cheek, objectionable. That she cannot understand then why having a banner which states that "Boys are made of slime and snails" may then found to be objectionable to another person.

However I guess it would be a different story if for example HRS was female and found somelike, "Girls are nasty slimey and smelly things"

Now HRS has a point about find material or articles written by feminists that say something positive about men. During my time at Uni, I found it really depressing that there did not seem to be anything positive written about men in feminist material.

‘Dissing’ men: the new gender war http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=4907

Other male students who spoke too, found this as well. Even one of my lecturers said that some of her male students had also raised this same question.

As much as most of you want to ridicule HRS or myself. There are other males who do raise this issue.

On another thread (the one about BraBoys): "I would put to you that you have no clue as to men behavior tough you can observe their effects , ergo you can pass judgment from on high .No woman can claim to speak for men in general , you are not qualified !"

James on this one: "Yvonne just perhaps you might be more a humanist than a feminist." (Please search and read the entire post.)

This is so tricky. You know, all I want to see is to see 40 to 50% of parliamentarians women.

I’d like to see an Office for Men, to help provide balance to the Office for Women, and I’d like to see Audrey Apple take the banner “Boys are made of slime and snails” off her blogsite.

Why the latter? Well because Audrey Apple calls herself a feminist, and feminists are not supposed to believe in discrimination.

But perhaps Audrey Apple is not that type of feminist, but another type of feminist, that does believe in discrimination.

I wonder how many of them there are.

I also wonder if you would like to see Audrey Apple take the discriminatory banner off her blogsite?

Who, me? No, I'm all for discrimination. Men? They're all bad. Not a good one amongst them. Terrible folk. Hate them all. Should be burnt at the stake. World would be better off without them. Can't stand the lot of them, even the ones I love, like my dad, my brother, my friends, my lovers, my colleagues. Should get rid of the berloody lot of them because they are completely worthless even though so many of them have enriched my life in so many ways that are neither oppressive nor misogynistic. HORRIBLE, ALL.

The post count on this thread keeps rising like an empty shelled internet stock. And like an internet stock its got no substance, just spin and hot air.

Even so, l do like a good momentum play.

l especially enjoy the one's who, whilst advocating for ignorance of socket puppets, keep engaging said sock puppets with a bit of bait here and there.
