An image of a girl : Comments

By Melinda Tankard Reist, published 18/7/2008

Why give photographs of your daughter to a magazine whose raison d’ętre was a defence of Bill Henson?

SJF "No. It actually defines me as someone who refuses to do other people's homework for them. Don't confuse non-compliance with non-ability."

An opinion with no reference or reason, such as the manner of your declaration, is a hollow thing.

No different to rant or thoughtless dogma.

The rattle of an intellectually empty bucket.

So what is the difference between non-compliance and non-ability?

"non-compliance" is the excuse those who lack ability will hide behind

The able have no need to hide their reasons, only those who lack them.

Each of your successive posts reveals more and more about your lack of reasoning skill and substance.

Leaving instead your own pompous hubris.

Veronika "What a nasty little man you are. Erk."

your posts have consisted of baseless attacks on me

Obviously, you lack the where-with-all, like SJF, to present any reasoned view or lucid opinion so you descending to

the vicious bite (=gumming) of a toothless hag.

This is all quite amusing.
'pompous hubris'
'nasty little man '
'pompous, patriarchal '

Unless we've moved into some sort of period drama, you're all as pompous as each other.

I'd love to be able to search how many times the word 'patriarchy' appears in SJF posts. SJF is a caricacture of how I see feminists. They're so funny.

' try living as a feminist under a patriarchy'

Now that made me laugh and laugh! I can imagine SJF with a cape, and a superman symbol on the chest, but instead of an S, there's a P on the front with a strike through it.

Usual Suspect,

This comment made me chortle the other day:

pelican: "The only thing that I don't like about OLO is it is very anti-female at times"
http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=2024#41992

Its not that pelican is wrong. Its just having watched the girls demolish Steel in another thread, and seen some of the juvenile but aggressive arguments being made by the girls here, pelican's comment is a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Yes, the males often say things that make me wince (like Col Rouge's last post here for instance) - but the girls are more than a match for them at times. Press one of their hot button topics - something that deals with kids or family, and they can become ferocious.

'I'd love to be able to search how many times the word 'patriarchy' appears in SJF posts.'

I deliberately use it because I know how much anti-feminists hate it. Reading their huffy responses makes me go all goose-bumpy.

'Yes, the males often say things that make me wince (like Col Rouge's last post here for instance) - but the girls are more than a match for them at times.'

Waddya mean 'at times'? I'd say 'all the time'!

And I'm with pelican. In fact, I'd go much further and say that OLO is the most anti-female online forum I've ever been associated with (the commentary, that is, not the essays). Sooner or later, the females on these gender threads are given little choice but to take their gloves off.
