Dear Antonios,

There's a few things you didn't know about me
that you need to know . You called me
'Middle-Class.'

I actually grew up in the working-class
western suburbs of Sydney. However, My parents instilled
in me the importance of education - they believed in
'women's rights,' way back - especially my mother -
they wanted their daughter to be able to support herself.
That was the ethos I grew up with - that nobody owes you
a living - you make your own way in this world.

I won a scholarship to university - obtained my degree
and then got married, travelled and worked overseas,
survived in the competitive world of the US job
market -came back to Australia - and obtained a further
degree while working full-time, and raising a family.
Some of this would not have been possible without the love
and support of my husband. As for women's rights?-
I've been practicing them all of my life.

Dear Piper,Bronwyn, Examinator, Houellebecq,

Thanks for all your comments - but as far as I'm
concerned - let's just move on.

I'll try not to be so flippant in future.

Oh Houel don’t make me reach for the vacillate.

He reads my posts and has decided they all contain secret message to him and how I want to leave my husband and be with him. E-mails started out all friendly and normal then he just kind of started drifting in to some really weird stuff.

Approx 42 e-mails within a couple of weeks saying I am going to be his wife. As well as describing how and when this should happen and what is going to happen in a bedroom.

I think soon as Foxy was involved for reasons that I do not believe were any honest comment on her post but more a reflection of was said to me about my husband in e-mail – well I snapped, then I had to edit out all the bad words and threats so that what I posted was watered down to such an extent it was practically a homeopathic post.

Piper,

How bizarre. I thought you were drunk or just mucking around and then AS's post came just after mine, fessing up to everything and I went... Wow.

Though if I had Cols email I'd probably do the same thing so I shouldn't judge.

How did he get your email? Maybe Graham can do something? Probably you're the type to go 'yeah good on ya spastic' and just ignore it though I suppose.

Ha, Imagine if Fraccy got those emails! Now that would be a classic. She'd go nuts! She'd race to Graham and he'd call her difficult!:-) Ah, so funny.

This place is a cack. I mean I thought it was funny when Formersnag wanted me to help write a thesis on his Auntie Nelly who destroyed feminism, but that's got nothing on this! Ah, I cant get over it. Priceless.

Ooooh, vacillate. You sexy thang. What are you wearing? :-))

Piper

OMG

Have no doubt of all the things I have done in my life I am proudest of my achievements as a trade unionist.
From loyal member to active delegate, now trusted and even liked by my membership.
Nothing beats that.
Youth saw me play the warrior role AS asks us all to play.
You had to to achieve anything.
Not now, like it or not, not again ever.
Now you may well be rude to your boss, but as the last thing you ever do,never the first.
Out think out fox, yes but insult and fight? you can not win.
Every day a story emerges that city workers would not think possible.
I found yesterday a workplace that has not had a lunch room, shower, toilet, for ten years.
no out back shed a NSW government department!
No cowardly workforce just workers who have seen past brave men sacked for standing up for issues like this.
It is the job of people like me, not them, to get that fixed.
And warlike acts are not needed.
Yes I went to war, the manager would not listen, but by the time I left he had promised to fix it, he will fix it, in very short time.
AS you live in past years no future exists for war in IR words are the new weapons not threats just brains.
We are PP in faking it, maybe I am now confused but at one level I still and forever can not stand true fakes.
And yet understand we all are sometimes in a less harmful way fakers.

G'Day All,
Antonios TPP had the decency to e-mail me direct to get my story & has had further communication since then. This woman appears to me as a decent person that tries to support people & as such without reading the correspondence that has occurred I would say though that you have severely misread TPP's mail.
Foxy don't take to much to heart as I said, Your posts show feeling & support of people in their anguish & from that point you rank my praise. As far as your support for womens rights I think you have demonstated that you stand for womens rights just you don't seem to be like the many radicals out there that want female domination of man.
All the rest I thank you for your comments & posts & appreciate those that have shown me different points of view.
As far as faking it how about a woman that says she wants our child home & to me displays that but behind my back is running me down to the max.
Anyway lets give the fight away & see if we can make a difference to this world " a journey be it a thousand mile or but one they both start with the first step".
Thanks for your time & may your Lord shine on you well. God Bless from Dave.
