I'll bid it adieu as well, but with the parting words that if I have a crush on you HRS, you must have one hell of a whopping one on Audrey. Maybe you're simply shocking at courtship.

(For the record, I enjoy reading and commenting on many of Audrey's articles, which funnily enough, where you're often among the first to comment).

I give your posts 0 of 10, because you never address anything put to you instead adopting evasive tactics I've outlined.
Many of the arguments are enough to lay your perceptions in tatters, but those are the ones you won't allow yourself to consider.

Note that you've gone and ignored them again. Must be tough, maintaining a steadfast veil of ignorance.

Whatever experience you had with women must've been harrowing.
It's a shame that instead of combating this, you've transformed it into a broad attack on feminists - feminists being people with the simple belief that women deserve the same rights as men in practice and theory.
Sure, there are nutters that go further, but I've known dozens of women who consider themselves feminists, including my own mother, who never show or say any of the man-hating vampiric tendencies you describe.
What's ironic is the nutters behave toward men as you do toward feminists.

Whatever experience you had must've been severe and is a specific issue which needs attention, but instead of helping people in the same boat, you transform it to this petty hatred game, complete with polemics on ilks and snips and snails.

R0bert:

Depends how DV's defined. I've spent time around courtrooms (not ever as a defendant) when it comes to physical violence, men are worse in both quantity and severity.

Emotional and psychological is different. I don't know enough there.

But I refuse to categorise that as violence. It's an issue worthy of consideration, but lumping that with bashings is wrong.
Issues like neglect are serious but they're not violence.
It's not striking someone else with an intent to physically wound them or worse. On that score, men are worse, all the statistics prove this.

Liam,
I had a look in a medical encyclopaedia, and I couldn’t see anywhere that any living male could be a “meathead”, so I think that remark is simply a form of abuse of the male gender.

Similarly, I couldn’t see in the medical encyclopaedia where it says that boys are made of slime and snails (as stated by the feminist Audrey), so I think that is also abuse of the male gender.

But you would probably know more about abusing the male gender than I would.

Vanilla,
So long, and no thanks for all the abuse.

Turnrightthenleft,
Keep searching.

Whitty: "Just where has HRS expressed any hatred of women"

Apologies for not responding, but I've been away for a few days.

I think that anybody who's familiar with the numerous obsessive whines that "HRS" posts in response to female authors and commenters in this forum, could legitimately infer that he has a pathological antipathy towards women. That he has learnt how to disguise his misogyny by deploying various weasel words is more of a testament to the persistence of his deep resentment of women than any positive attitudes he may have towards them.

Whitty may be unaware that "HRS" is a sock puppet for his previous identity as "Timkins" at OLO (http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/user.asp?id=6333), who was eventually banned from the forum for posting repetitive misogynist comments in which he abused women less covertly than he does now.

However, I note that his comments as "HRS" are becoming increasingly obviously pathological. I suspect that this sock puppet's days are numbered, but banning him again will only give us temporary respite from his obsessive, sad campaign against women and their interests.

Like Turnrightthenleft, I think you have a crush on me as well, as the majority of your posts are now taken up with writting about a HRS, and will rarely even mention the topic.

But how is defining males as being "meatheads" or "slime and snails" in the "interests of women"

Run along now Timmy.

I was talking about you, not to you.

Vanilla, what great posts you write. You often take the words right out of my mouth.

Doesn't leave me much room to post many of my written responses though!

Like you I'm often amazed by the awesome power feminists are supposed to have on society according to some when looking at the reality of the make-up of our parliaments, our judiciary, media owners and advertising executives. They must all be sleeping with some particularly clever feminists in heavy disguise. Feminists in deep cover so to speak, seeing as feminists all hate men. Amazing what they are willing to sacrifice for the sisterhood! ;)

Liam, I laughed out loud with your post.

CJMorgan, you are always a voice of reason. Here on OLO and in the newspaper when you are published.
