SJF,

I see. So you deliberately incite people to anger using the word patriachy. I suppose this anger will then be evidence of misogyny right?

'(the commentary, that is, not the essays). '

Yes, the essays have a strong anti-male, feminist bias. Which brings out the anti-feminist reactions that you love to distort into an anti-female comments to justify your pre-existing world view.

I would like for you to point this mysterious thread out, rstuart. If you mean this one, then you must be a feminist with great loyalties to the movement, or to extreme socialism, or both. Or conversely you despise me for my opinions which are based as much as possible on fact, logic and reason.

Firstly, you cite pelican who describes the forum as anti-women. No one here is anti-women. They are anti-feminist. Those are big differences and your desire to twist it and play the classic misogynist card is noted (as is pelican's).

I don't even think you know what you are talking about. Assuming again you are talking about this thread, the argument you are defending is the control of all advertising for the express pruposes of making some women feel more comfortable with their appearance (not men, the sexism inherent in feminism was obviously lost on you like many unthinking fools). And punishing women who have found niche success in their personal beauty. Do you realise this? Do you know what that means? It means extreme socialism/chinese style communism, or worse. Government control of all media sources designed to attack 'beautiful' women and female models. This is the position you are defending. Do you know that?

I am wondering if any of you have been to the Henson exhibition.
Has the author of the article seen it?

SJF “'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'!”

So you can think you are more than a match “all the time”

It is a shame your capacity for reason is not so well developed as your capacity for hubris.

She who makes demands with “What I care about is the thoroughly misguided belief that there should be absolutely no boundaries at all – legal or otherwise – on the work of those who wield influence over the cultural domain or over public opinion. “

And runs away from the question I asked “I would like you to define, preferably referring to statute (for legal at least), exactly what a “thoroughly misguided belief is“"

Obviously someone who talks the talk but can neither walk the walk or support with reason. It is all the talk of a malcontented under-achiever, frustrated by the constraints of her own shortcomings.

US “I see. So you deliberately incite people to anger using the word patriachy. I suppose this anger will then be evidence of misogyny right?”

In internet terms, they are known as “Trolls” (in this case a misandristic troll)

I am sure SJF has a nice little wooden bridge with broadband connected.

And SJF, do take your gloves off any time, I love a good old bitch slapping and am happy to crank up the rhetoric-notch some, when opportunity avails.

Col Rouge

Gee ... you really are a bit put out that I didn't jump to your original command to define that something or other, aren't you?

Didn't your mother ever tell you it's rude to keep badgering people, and didn't Mick Jagger once sing 'You cain't ahwl-weez git wot u wownt'?

I suggest two aspirins, a cup of tea and a lie down.

Usual Suspect

'I see. So you deliberately incite people to anger using the word patriachy.'

If the word 'patriarchy' is capable of inciting you to anger, perhaps you need to get out more. If it really upsets you that much, I could try using another word whenever I'm referring to a political system based on the domination of women by men. How about ... 'bananas'?

SJF,

'If the word 'patriarchy' is capable of inciting you to anger'

Heavens no. It incites me to laughter, as does any extreme feminist like yourself. I was talking about your own professed motives.

'political system based on the domination of women by men'
You are a card. Is it like the Legion of Doom? Better get your cape on!
