"But know in my very guts only middle of the road Labor is sale able."
(Quote: Tinkerbelly)

You might as well be describing Liberal Whets. The more Labor moves away from the Left (as it has), the more it appears as a poor version of Liberals.

(What a varied thread!!)

"60 year old women bashed by groups of girls, yet here in this thread feminists tell us women are never wrong." (Quote:Tinks).

I'm curious about this. Can you copy/paste where someone has said women are never wrong?

"I again ask, is there any chance this threads subject, that young woman did just what she said she wanted to do then changed her mind 5 days after?
yes there is"<<<<<<<<<<<< Love that!! That proves it....!!

Mea Culpa Crappa.

Ah you gotta love it!
Ginx has come out in defence of the loony left.
At any ALP conference they are up the end with the red flags flying.
Lead by a leader of a dieing very left union.
Who struts about in a Che shirt, yep fair dinkum, the one with him dead on the table after being murdered.
Come voting time each left vote is beaten 6 to one by true Labor members , and they pile back into the VW Combi vans getting into the Chardona on the way home to middle class homes chanting nursery rimes about come the revolt and such nineteen forty,s rubbish.
Great fun thanks.
Its like a neon sign a very big one the anti men twaddle some display here.
That,s ok, no harm done, I am aware you can never convince some but its funny and enjoyable to watch.

And tinkerbelly has come out as one of those jellyfish who hide behind the Labor banner because they call themselves 'Union men'!!

I'm happy where I am tinks, unlike hypocrites like you.

Back to the topic jelly belly?

Antiseptic: <"...you have a situation where many men are unable to improve their educational qualifications as adults because to do so would mean the family would lose income during the process.">

In the last ABS report available on that topic (as I showed you before) more men than women obtained higher degrees (beyond Bachelor level) and men occupied more positions in decision making capacity at ever level of education. Also, the numbers of females with degrees had increased to some extent because nursing had established a University base.

Where I think you'll find disparity is at tiny tot level. I think children are starting school too early; I don't know yet what the effect will be.

Yabby,

If only you could see your posts from my vantage point - how embarrassed you'd be. You're a captive of your limited worldview which is just brimming with unfounded stereotypes about men and women. For example, what makes you think that I am concerned with household matters as a priority? Would you post something like that at me if I was a fella?

In fact I think that homemaking is an extremely noble endeavour and I am deeply grateful for my homemaking partner of 20 something years. He keeps a spotless home and is quite blokey to boot. I help out when I can, but whatever else, I know how to appreciate his role because I know what is involved. Similarly, my soldier son takes pride in the independence that knowing how to take care of himself and his home provides.

From the SMH in reference to a report done by NATSEM for AMP http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/lifematters/gen-y-women-earn-their-fair-share-20090407-9x0y.html

"The report, She Works Hard For The Money, reveals that for the first time women outnumber men in professional occupations. The increase in women's representation from 39 per cent in 1988 to 52.6 per cent in 2007 is very positive, said the study's lead author, Rebecca Cassells.

Ms Cassells, a research fellow, said young women had benefited from the feminist movement. There were 80,000 more women than men studying for bachelor degrees in university, and more women than ever were employed in highly skilled jobs such as managers and administrators."

Ms Cassels is slightly off in her 80,000 number, but otherwise...

Pymchme, perhaps you should be embarrassed for posting such a
stupid comment in the first place. As it is, your comment does imply
that you are a fusspot about dust and that men can't see it.

I was thinking the other day that feministas like yourself would
be best to find themselves a closet gay as a partner. Whilst you
are agonising about your dignity, he could be out knocking off the
boyfriend and you'd both be able to discuss dust and other household
matters together.
