More of your spin and you will be saying that 'twat' is a form of endearment.

I am unconvinced you were completely unaware that the word was an abusive term for a vagina - especially a knock about bloke like you who frequents public bars.

In any event, prior ignorance doesn't excuse your intention to continue using it in the full knowledge that it is offensive to many women.

Others can judge.

More Rugby League values in the news - apparently they start the kids early, the parents teaching their kids by example:

<< PARENTS could be banned from junior rugby league games to stamp out violence, abuse and off-field incidents.

New South Wales Rugby League has endorsed the idea, which came as footy dad Gary Harling remained in a serious condition last night after being bashed following his son's under-12s rugby league game at the weekend.

Mr Harling, 42, is awaiting plastic surgery to reconstruct his shattered face after allegedly being attacked by three fathers from a rival junior team. >>

Pomeranian:"we real men"

LOL, oh look, the little fella thinks he's a "real man". Awww, how cute...

To all the feminist apologists, do you think it is a good thing that there are now 3 Australain women at university for every 2 men who get to go? Still waiting for an answer, grrrls...

I also asked you about your responses to the feminist doggerel that the Qld Education Department sees fit to place on their website in a section purportedly about the education of boys. As the Pomeranian has been having some trouble with his incontinence for the last couple of pages, I'll repeat it here.

" Women have entered the workforce in greater numbers and in some traditionally male fields. But most women earn lower pay and do more part-time and casual work than men.
More women are seeking equality in family and intimate relationships with growing expectations of shared child-rearing and domestic work.
A backlash against feminism has painted feminists as 'man-haters' responsible for many social ills, including concerns about boys."

Can anyone tell me what that has to do with improving educational outcomes for boys? In fact, can anyone tell me why that site is essentially a list of excuses for teachers to use when they fail to give boys a decent education, mixed with Feminist polemic? Is there a rep from Qld Ed here?

"a "menz collective" is a comical term to describe the several whinging excuses for "men" here (out where I come from they wouldn't last a day), who blame feminism, and women who don't agree with them, for all their pitiful troubles in life. They WHINGE,WHINGE and WHINGE continuously."

The purpose of this forum is to discuss social issues. Throughout this thread, some of us have made specific criticisms of certain tactics used by people who would wear the 'feminist' label. These types of comments are too productive to be dismissed as whinging.

Whinging is pointless complaining. Platitudes about equal opportunity for women that don't discuss possible improvements are whinging. Personal attacks on others are whinging. Antiseptic does get personal too, but he explains and defends his concerns quite clearly. Misrepresenting other people's views in order to attack them is whinging.

The issues that feminism deal with are important, complex and worthy of proper discussion.

Why are you so concerned about CJ's use of the word "twat", when A-septic denigrates women generally and uses personal insults on many female contributors to OLO for no more reason than they hold differing POV's?

Besides; the unequivocally unambiguous insult derived from female anatomy is: C U Next Tuesday. Although even this word was considered perfectly acceptable in the Middle Ages after which it returned in the 19th C. as an insult for either male or female. As for 'twat' (which doesn't even register a blink on the OLO censor), Wiki states:

"Although sometimes used as a reference to the female genitalia, the word twat is more often used in various other ways:

* As a derogatory insult, a pejorative - 'you twat!'
* A fool, synonymous with the word twit - 'You are a real twat and a half' (often used in the UK)[3]
* To express annoyance - 'I caught my twatting knackers in it!'[citation needed]
* To express shock - 'Oh twat!'"

Now Cornflower a question; why do you have no problem with A-septic abundant hostility towards women, specifically ones like myself who dare to disagree with his claims of "feminist conspiracies"? CJ has made a very pertinent comment regarding your support of A-S.

You are aware that there are indeed women who are complete "twats" and are manipulative - but they are no more common than men who are bitter that they no longer have the same power over women as once was the norm before equity of the sexes was acknowledged as fair and reasonable.

CJ,

'More Rugby League values in the news - apparently they start the kids early, the parents teaching their kids by example:'

'Rugby League values'? C'mon man I thought you were more intelligent than that. From a supposed anthropologist too. Don't you see how you're being dragged down to this level?
