SM and Loudmouth,

Just as I thought...neither of you are interested in defending the integrity of women.

Both of you employ your faux feminism merely as a club with which to batter lefties.

Loudmouth,

"...Yes, yes, I know, those countries are a long way away, we need to know little about them, and the concerns of women there are not really ours..."

I haven't noticed you pleading the case for Muslim women "imprisoned" on Nauru, Christmas Island etc. who are humiliated daily having to ask for "women's products" and supplies for their children....anything to say on that subject, because those women aren't a long way away - and they "are" our responsibility.

Anything to say about the Muslim women and kiddies that Morrison's minions have stuffed into orange pods and towed out to sea.

He's a wonderful "rightie" isn't he.

SM,

Blair is a nobody who blogs under the Telegraph banner.

Nothing to say about his impugning of all those women?

Thought not...

P,

Other than pointing out that they are unhinged left whingers and that they are women, I don't see a directly sexist comment that I am meant to defend them against.

Being a woman does not automatically grant you immunity against criticism, only criticism for being a woman.

Juliar was not criticised for being a woman, only for being a supremely incompetent and lying PM.

Never mind, SM.

Your hypocrisy is showing.

I'm sure if a "leftie" came out and described a collection of Conservative ladies thus...

"They shriek, they rage, they cheer, they despair, they exult, they scream, they laugh, they cry! There’s never a non-emotional moment in the lives of Australia’s left-wing ladies’ auxiliary, whose psychosocial behavioural disorders are becoming ever more dramatic following Tony Abbott’s election.

Only one of them, however, can reign as our solitary monarch of madness. Only one can stand above all others, wailing and howling, while the rest look on and ask: “Where’s the Ritalin?” In the search for this nation’s most unhinged hysteric, let the BlairPoll decide!"

...you'd be fizzing and popping with faux outrage.

"Being a woman does not automatically grant you immunity against criticism, only criticism for being a woman."

Again

"They shriek, they rage, they cheer, they despair, they exult, they scream, they laugh, they cry! There’s never a non-emotional moment in the lives of Australia’s left-wing ladies’ auxiliary, whose psychosocial behavioural disorders are becoming ever more dramatic following Tony Abbott’s election."

Lol!...I can just imagine Nobody Blair directing the above outrage to men...(not)

Nice to note that you appear to approve.

Fake feminism in the service of leftie bashing is so obvious.

@P'rot,

<<They shriek, they rage, they cheer, they despair, they exult, they scream, they laugh, they cry!...>

Hmmmm it's a pretty asccurate description of some OLO posters --I wont mention names of course!

And as for:
<<...I can just imagine Nobody Blair directing the above outrage to men...>>

Double LOL

Feminists and their bed fellows have been doing worse (to men) for decades --and their rants are even part of many uni curricula.

SPQR,

Lol!...

"Hmmmm it's a pretty asccurate description of some OLO posters --I wont mention names of course!"

I wonder who you could be directing that comment at?

It's pretty much a given that it wouldn't be a male contributor to OLO.

Yup...if a woman gives you fellas a run for your money on this forum or anywhere...then she's shrieking, raging, cheering, exulting, screaming...etc.

Men, on the other hand, are merely putting their point across.

.......

Loudmouth,

I noted Julia Gillard on twitter this morning thanking Malala for her support re girls education in Islamic countries....

"Grateful for Malala's advocacy #fundeducation "A pledge for education is not just a number on a paper, it is our future". @MalalaFund JG"

I suppose you'll find something to criticise there as well.

Hi Poirot,

Thank you for elaborating on the zeal with which faux feminists have gone into bat, not in relation to issues to do with Malala Yusifzai, honor killings, genital mutilation, that poor woman bashed to death with bricks in Pakistan, those two poor girls raped and hanged in India, or that poor woman sentenced to be hanged when her baby turns two, in about 23 months' time,

but, quite rightly, in pushing "the case for Muslim women "imprisoned" on Nauru, Christmas Island etc. who are humiliated daily having to ask for "women's products" and supplies for their children....anything to say on that subject, because those women aren't a long way away - and they "are" our responsibility."

Quite disgraceful treatment on the part of the Government, I condemn it unreservedly, but as you say, they are not all that far away.
We can safely ignore those issues that are, is that what you are saying ?

And I certainly commend ex-PM Gillard's support for Malala Yusifzai and her fearless campaign for women's rights to education, even if it's in some faraway country, of little importance to us. "Fearless" ? Yes, indeed, for someone to be shot in the face and still come back and keep demanding equal rights for girls and women to get an education - that's fearless. She could teach some of our own Soy-Latte set a thing or two about courage.

Cheers :)

Joe
