yet he used the words, "we" rather than "I" and the group descriptor, "women", not "my wife"

honestly i would have no problem with it under normal circumstances, but with the current climate of feminism and their constant bitching and unwarranted activism, i would like some consistency until it is agreed that feminism is unnecessary and harmful to democracy. i personally favour no political correctness, but you'll have to ask the female and male feminists to shut up before anything improves.

In the red corner, we have the women, and in the blue corner, we have the? well, I guess us men have come a long way since the old days.

The man of today must be many things and the woman of the day must carry the same weight. The new sexism is only in the minds of the beholder and the playing 50/50 is the only way to win the round.

The is an argument that goes nowhere. You have to look at the world like the millimetres on a ruler, we are all on there somewhere.

Oh God Almighty!!..here we go again...........

I stand by what I said before.

For crying out loud!...'harmful to democracy'..! What bloody next is going to be "harmful to democracy"!.!.!.!

I acknowledge and respect the struggle women have had over the years to gain their rightful place in society (Yeah! I said RIGHTFUL. YOU trying popping a kid from between your legs, and YOU might deserve some equal measure of respect)! Women have well and truly earned the rights to equality with men.

But, but, BUT;-I have NEVER lost sight of the put downs that are inflicted on men, from whatever source; but certainly from marketing companies. To me, liberation is being able to recognize any diminishment of stature no matter WHO it is inflicted upon.

It does little to establish understanding and equality between the sexes, when men;-or women;-feel they have to make a remark against their own gender-like Doherty's to establish some sort of cred with the opposite sex.

Dear Steel,

He's a scientist for goodness sake. Not a language expert.

He did use the word "I" most of the time, then switched to "we." Maybe he was nervous on camera.

Let's give him the benefit of the doubt - shall we?

Or as Vanilla said, if you truly object - contact the ABC or the man himself.

But before I go, I've got a joke for you. One that is definitely
'Politically incorrect,' but I can't resist. Here goes:

Question: If you have an intelligent man, a woman and Santa Claus in a lift and there is a two-dollar gold coin on the floor, who picks it up?"

Answer: The woman - the other two don't exist.

Yes, I know, I know...I'm not denying that women are foolish:
God Almighty made 'em to match the men! (smile).
