Dear evolution,
I liked the joke. We need to laugh more. Take care. Posted by Foxy, Sunday, 20 April 2008 5:46:53 PM

Ginx > "For crying out loud!...'harmful to democracy'..! What bloody next is going to be "harmful to democracy"!.!.!.!"
You have to quiet down for a second. You are obviously not reading my comment (or any other articles and discussions) or thinking about it. Women do not need feminism (the federal office for women, the federal minister for women's interests, the endless organisations and academia). Discrimination, harrasment, and so on are all issues that affect both genders and can be dealt with on that generic basis. But this is not the whole problem. The way it harms democracy, is when laws start being changed to suit one gender (women) over another (men). And that is what has happened, to the point in which lies propogate in the media, fuelling even more distortion. "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." That's moronic. Your basis for women's 'equality' is that they give birth? Did you know that they are biologically designed to? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female#Mammalian_female Posted by Steel, Sunday, 20 April 2008 10:44:45 PM

Antiseptic:"If left unchecked, it will be significantly greater a problem for men than the patriarchal situatio you describe was for women because of one simple fact: women control the womb."
Ginx:"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." Thank you for confirming my point. Posted by Antiseptic, Monday, 21 April 2008 7:06:12 AM

Anti/Steel: has it ever occurred to either of you that you are both classic instigators of rampant feminism?
I have truly done my damnedest to see things from both perspectives, but trying to make you two see what I'm getting at, is like trying to push a boulder up a hill with my nose!! You-have-both-missed-the-point-because-you-chose-to... I have got to be somewhere else pronto;-so I will explain more fully to you in s-i-m-p-l-e language when I get back, so that you can grasp things. That is,-if you require me to do so..? Oh;..and one more thing. I don't feel the need to turn all girly girly, sugar and spice to communicate with prats like you two. I will leave that to others...

The point is the existence of the double-standard
in the society as a whole. All the 'excuses' which have been cited are excuses which would not be acceptable if the sex roles were reversed, etc. Individuals involved in this conversation may well have balanced views themselves that was not my complaint it was not even a complaint about Prof Doherty it was the different way society as a whole treats those types of comments when they are made about the male sex and those types of comments when they are made about the female sex Camille Paglia remember received death threats and letter bombs I dont think Prof Doherty is in any danger Posted by Rob513264, Monday, 21 April 2008 11:32:03 AM
