R0bert:"Is the fact that men account for 67% of road fatalities and indication of more reckless driving or of the proportion of road distance travelled by men."

Not seen the stats, but I'm sure you're right about the relative travel distances and if the time on the road were taken into account, I suspect the difference would be even more stark. There is a long history of dodgy statistics being used to justify ever-more draconian laws. I'm sure there is also a sexist component to it. Those producing the figures are well aware that such a statistic would be jumped on and beaten up wildly by an avowedly feminist and activist Premier.

I seem to recall some statistics that show the proportion of accidents involving people under the influence of illicit drugs is far lower than the proportion of people found to have drugs in their system whilst driving, which suggests that illicit drugs are not a high risk factor for accidents. I haven't heard any suggestion that drug testing should therefore be curtailed. I suspect it won't be long before there is a directive issued to target "high risk groups", which will no doubt include all males under 60...

"I suspect it won't be long before there is a directive issued to target "high risk groups", which will no doubt include all males under 60..."

gosh, these Droogs targeting males UNDER 60 while Foxy is targeting males OVER 60 with her purile comments

so a coincidence as I was just about to address Foxy's continued attack on me by saying that it would be Intellectually Irresponsible [that Walters CFM term] not to challenge Foxy's feminist bile based upon the fact that the Constitution [devised on the Good Ship Lucinda over 100 ago] retires judges at 70 [apparently based on senility concerns, same as der Fox] but just about all retired High Court judges have been "called back" to do "service to the community" in various tribunals etc.

To retire the brilliant Kirby J next year when [like me] he is "just warming up" is anathama [or is that an anathama?]

and the word "retire"?

IF I was female like Foxy or Germaine I could get the Age Pension next month at 63.5, but as a male, I must wait until 65

like is that descrimination or what?

Dear Divorce Doctor,

I'm really concerned about you.

You seem to have so much negativity coming from within.

I think that it is very valuable to make the effort to become aware of this part of your psyche so you can deal with it consciously and are no longer the victim to its judgements about others.

For as long as you remain unaware of any part of your personality, it continues to affect your feelings and perceptions.

Take care.

yes indeed it was the same for Helen Garner, in both cases, both girls declined her many invitations for an interview to PUT their side of the story

so she just had to go from her "life experience" and "girlie hackles" eg Anu Singh's double handed handshake with counsel that got her off the murder charge.

and the father, Dr Singh also referred back to First Stone and tried to "warn her off" writing the second book about his daughter/murderer, suggesting Garner might also need "counselling". Then of course the girls' teams accused Garner of bias.

It is the standby OF the "feminist" bile trade [now morphed, as you say, with Greer almost unknown to those who follow her methods] that rather than debate any matter they suggest counselling, or in fact it is trauma counselling or as Minister Kay Patterson called it before I had her removed, Toxic Masculinity.

And perhaps a billion pa of the 20 billion of the FLIndustry is in the first step ie whack a DVO on bloke [no evidence required for this] and then order bloke does a 10 week Anger Management Course.

Are you an anger management practitioner? you certainly make the right noises for one.

Dear Divorce Doctor,

OK. I'll make it simple for you.

It's time you let up.

No one is attacking you on this forum. You're the one that started in with the insulting language and personal attacks. Re-read your posts and then re-read mine.

You have to take responsibility for your own actions and stop whinging about "discrimination."

I don't need anger management classes. Only people who I consider my equals in intellect, good manners, and good breeding, would annoy me. You Sir, are obviously not one of those.

By the way if you want to use words like "purile" at least learn to spell them correctly!

no foxy one, YOU started it, per:

Dear Divorce Doctor,

You wrote:

"...It seems to me only those over 60 plus (male AND female) can actually see the wood from the trees in our present PC Swamp of Power Feminism."

I thought that eyesight is generally thought to decline with age, along with intelligence.

But, perhaps those are flawed beliefs, like so many others...

My comment was in reply to the excellent post by Rob...
