Now, class, can you say "transference"? Can you spell "projection"

"Many young women don’t even seem to understand the meaning of sexual harassment" or is it that they don't interpret it the way you do? As for whether or not 'the lad' watches a couple having sex, why do I get the presumption in your article that it is the woman who is violated, not respected and so on, if he does. The men and women who get themselves in these situations should bear more even handed criticism, if any criticism of the obvious is necessary. My question is why should my tax dollars be pissed away with police and other resources wasted on these people when they get into easily preventable circumstances? The whole male bashing tone of your article is quite sexist. Posted by MoreSanity, Sunday, 9 March 2008 10:26:44 PM

@MoreSanity...
There's a consistant distortion in public knowledge about sexual abuse because of the intrusion of feminist thinking and hyperbole into the field. There were already many misconceptions among the population many of which the advocacy has, to it's credit, tried to dispel. Unfortunately it has also acted to shore up other myths due to it's frequent gender bias. Much of it can be demonstrated to harm victims and even create more. Unfortunately most of the current advocacy comes from the line of thinking adopted by the feminist groups which created the rape activism of the early eighties. They were extremists in both their beliefs and their actions. Posted by gwallan, Monday, 10 March 2008 1:21:49 AM

The title should read -"just aroused animals acting up".
I think it comes from the type of sport being taught,if you can call it sport.It is an instinctual defense and attack being aroused and it does not belong in the sport arena as such.Bring a boy from a war zone and see the similarity of that behavior.It means nothing to them to break a person's neck, all in the name of the game, why do some girls put up with that? At least a warrior can expect (maybe) some debriefing, this should therefore apply after each game too, before they are send out into the crowd. Posted by eftfnc, Tuesday, 11 March 2008 12:08:08 AM

"The title should read -"just aroused animals acting up"." I agree. And that's just the women we're talking about. You ask... "why do some girls put up with that?" Why? Because they love it. They love having the opportunity to brag to their girlfriends about the footballer or the band member they shagged. They queue up for hours for the opportunity and make no bones about their availability for anything that's going. Take it from somebody who's had the experience that the behaviour some of the women concerned is disgusting. Your war analogy is laughable, as well as incoherent, and demonstrates that you have no knowledge of sport OR war. You also have no knowledge of the frequent harassment and stalking that celebrities, including athletes, endure from the predominantly female groupies. Why, oh why, would anybody in their right minds listen to feminist claims about footballers? They are the last people who would have any concept of the world high level athletes live in.

"BTW: You would be surprised how much sexual harassment I copped as a shy kid in school work experience by a bunch of middle aged female accounts clerks."
As an exercise keep your eyes open in situations where there are kids or young men in the vicinity of groups of women.
For example a family Christmas turn a few years back. I had to rescue a young nephew from a group of his aunts who were mauling him and teasing him about "girlfriends". Poor kid was utterly traumatised by it.
It's a behaviour many women engage in. Not only that but they do it publicly, shamelessly and even make a team sport of it.
Imagine what some of the posters here would think of a group of men treating a young girl like that.
Oh, wait, that's what this is all about isn't it.
Now pay attention students...
Did you know feminism was created by women and from a womens' "perspective" only?
Now, class, can you say "transference"? Can you spell "projection"
