<< "Keep responses on topic." >>

Wow Poirot. One set of rules for you and one set for everyone else eh! You wrote this in a post which completely failed to address the topic at hand!!

Extraordinary!

Neither was there anything on topic in your previous post!

And no, there is nothing wrong with mentioning other threads or other topics or stuff which doesn’t relate to the current thread topic. You’ve created a rule in your head and you’re trying to impose it on me. Go jump in the lake ( :>)

Now, you avoided answering my on-topic question. So I presume you agree, but are just reluctant or completely loathe to just simply say so.

It’s a crying shame that the feminist movement in years gone by didn’t address this whole sustainable society aspect. I consider that to be a fundamental and profound flaw in the whole movement.

And yet another cliche trotted out!
Still fighting old battles, with no enemy in sight so lets invent one, made of straw.
Claiming that there is fear of successful women is also a cliche long discredited, it's standard feminist tripe and attempts to forestall serious consideration of the facts.
So, any of you defenders of the oh-so-caring fem' brigade willing to answer as to why all these "fighters for equality" are perfectly willing to let millions of their sisters suffer and die world-wide without so much as a raised eyebrow? Why they go rabid about their own pay and prospects, demanding unearned privileges while tens of thousands of other women and girls are repressed, starved, beaten, raped and killed every single day?
Priorities? Perspective?
Also, as an aside, if there's so much prejudice to overcome how is it that there ARE so many successful women these days, or are they just sleeping their way to the top?

many successful women these days, or are they just sleeping their way to the top?
G'day Bruce,
makes you wonder what male bureaucrats do to achieve the same ranks ? I know how some of the labor cronies do it is impossible to proof anything in such closed circles.
The greens well, let your imagination run wild & you'd still be way off.
The point is that the terms integrity & competence are nowhere to found.

Ludwig,

I addressed Hasbeen in that post - on topic - concerning his penchant for patronising women on this forum when it suits him...because I have yet to hear him addressing any of the blokes as "sweetie" and then talking to them as if they are 5 years-old.

Here's what you wrote:

"..... But no, the very important subject that is being ‘discussed’ on the Rolfie thread needs to be taken to a wider audience than just the small band of complete hardline knockers that are left there along with poor old Luddie. I intend to keep mentioning it far and wide on OLO."

Intentionally planning to disrupt threads, because you have been out-debated on another thread is bad form. Your Rolf Harris thread is specific in its subject matter.

And I note you appear to have jumped on this thread with the specific intention of trolling Poirot, with particular reference to your Rolf thread.

Not a particularly good look, especially in the wake of your performance over there.

.........

G'dayBruce,

You appear to have quite a snout on feminists.

"femnazis"

"oh-so-caring-fem-brigade"

"....So, any of you defenders of the oh-so-caring fem' brigade willing to answer as to why all these "fighters for equality" are perfectly willing to let millions of their sisters suffer and die world-wide without so much as a raised eyebrow?..."

As you know, it's a complex world.....who says no raised eyebrow?...who says their in no concern or action for women other countries?

And while you're at it - who does all this?

"..... while tens of thousands of other women and girls are repressed, starved, beaten, raped and killed every single day?"

It's not feminists.

It's men and their power structures...ably abetted by tradition, religion and ignorance.

Why don't you have a go at the root cause of these atrocities?

Let me assure you Poirot, should you find me talking down to you, it most certainly won't be "as if" you are an idiot.

Then we have Yvonne giving the prime example of feminists. She intentionally misinterprets my comment to suit her argument. When I point out that the ladies in my tribe have only once made a funny mistaken observation in many years, she accuses me of raising a moron.

Typically she then complains that men won't discuss subjects intelligently with them. Feminists & the left both share this behavior. I can only assume that when you have no logical argument for your point of view, you have to look for point scoring opportunities, even if only by intentional misinterpretation.

Yvonne such puerile point scoring makes you no better than a Poirot.

Hasbeen,

"....When I point out that the ladies in my tribe have only once made a funny mistaken observation in many years, she accuses me of raising a moron."

You used that example to display what a lot of air heads are women.

Now you're defending "the ladies in your tribe" because your own honour has been impugned.

They are of "your tribe" - so now you seek to inform us that they're actually quite a bright bunch (which I'm sure they are!)

Interesting, isn't it...this whole man vs woman thing.

Apparently it's okay to sledge women - to make an example of their gender. However, once they're linked to a particular tribe or collective, different values come into effect.

Which may point to a reason so many women in the developing world are put upon. Ethnic and religious loyalties far outweigh any collective power woman might have to better their lot.
