> Why don't we take our gender hats off and look at individual situations from an attitude of what is fair in any given situation.

to whom is the "we" and the "our" you refer, pelican, women or men?

why don't men take their men's gender hats off and look at individual situations from an attitute of what is fair for men in any given situation?

because men collapsed the global economy already.

> I don't believe that either gender is significantly advantaged in modern Australia, although some fields are definitely gendered. Anticeptic.

men have legislatures, women don't.

Whistler “men have legislatures, women don't.”

Women have shared the rights and privileges and carried the burdens of universal suffrage for over 100 years.
Women have been free to stand in elections, at every level from school board all the way to being a representative in parliament.

So with women being so “capable” and “able”

Why, after more than 100 years are there not more women in parliament?

Men vote, Women vote

There are approximately as many men voters as women voters.

I know exactly why there are more men in parliament.

Because more men vote for candidates who happen to be men and

Because more women vote for candidates who happen to be men.

Don’t pretend changing the structure of legislative assemblies will change the outcome

The problem your silly proposal faces is

Just as you lack the support from the vast majority of men
You lack the support from the vast majority of women

No support means…

Dingbat idea,

So, now let’s move on to something which actually matters….

whistler:"men have legislatures, women don't."

"Men" don't vote for politicians, voters do and they're of both genders. As I said, it's a shame that the feminist movement has produced so many whingers with a sense of entitlement and so few genuine achievers.

Using your own logic, "men" have the garbage collection industry, women don't. when do you plan to start your campaign for a "women's garbage" facility. Oh, that's right, you've already got UniSA. As you were...

Col Rouge, it matters to the people of Iceland that men collapsed the global economy, to the extent that key levers of finance have been turned over to women.

equity also matters.

Anticeptic, women's garbage facilities won't solve the problem, the provision of women's legislatures will.

absent argument of substance to the contrary, this discussion is ample evidence that support for smart government to achieve sustainable economic management is a nobrainer.

whistler:"support for smart government to achieve sustainable economic management is a nobrainer."

Of course it is, but support for separate gendered "legislatures" is simply evidence of no brains.

whistler:"women's garbage facilities won't solve the problem"

A statement shown to be profoundly true by the UniSA example.

whistler:"the provision of women's legislatures will"

A statement shown to be profoundly false by the examples already given.
