Foxy thanks for the links.
I think that's the site that whistler may have linked to previously. I don't know if it's the style of writing, the extremely narrow focus or the overt sexism but I've not done well with trying to understand how the proposal would work in practice. The site seems dominated by gender difference eg the definition of conflict shows a very narrow focus "Conflict is the product of an imbalance of power between women and men." - http://2mf.net/conflict.htm I've had the impression that whistler is male, I think I recall whistler claiming so but I don't know for sure. Under One God asking questions was a big part of my starting the thread and I doubt that pelican was all that worried about having her boys club threatened when she asked the questions I referred to in the opening post. Another part was my frustration at whistler continuing to interject calls for a womens legislature into large numbers of threads without ever (as far as I've seen) explaining how it would work in practice. If this is a serious proposal it should not be all that hard to give some suggestions on how issues like family law (or even speed limit's and penalties) would be determined by separate legislatures. I dread the idea of legislatures based on what divides us rather than what we share but agree that our existing parliaments don't always serve us well. I'm not a constitutional lawyer so I can't make valid judgments about the claims made by some regarding our constitution or it's intent but for me the priority is in what works rather than in contentious interpretations of the constitution.

Dear RObert,
I gave the sites hoping that perhaps someone could explain to me also, how things would work. I admit that I don't quite understand what whistler was talking about on all those threads either. I have some serious reservations about separate legislations based on gender, religion, et cetera. We should all be treated equally under the law. Or am I being simplistic? Come on you lawyers out there - explain? Posted by Foxy, Wednesday, 10 March 2010 6:08:59 PM

On this I am in full agreement. I find whistler's posts mostly incomprehensible and often inappropriate. Foxy I checked the links, thank you. They are written in the same style as whistler's posts and very offensive, painting men as a single homogeneous group, whose primary goal is to dominate women. Even if this was true of all men, I still don't see how separate legislature would help. The images as well as the sentiments were upsetting as well, not the kind of thing you'd want young girls (or boys for that matter) seeing and reading - getting a very distorted view of both sexes. The sites were like the extreme men's movement sites - completely biased; full of disinformation. Despite the efforts of a minority, we are not at war. And further agreed there is no detail about how this apartheid would work. whistler, please explain. Posted by Severin, Thursday, 11 March 2010 7:51:43 AM
