Foxy,

I kind of admire your trusting and genuine attitude...you usually attempt to find common ground and show respect to your opponent. That is a good thing!

I'm a little more reactive - and a veteran of Loudmouth deploying "sweetie" anytime he's desperate for a change of strategy and decides nothing other than a condescending term of endearment will suffice.

I can imagine Julie Bishop in the middle of a heated debate with men on the floor of Parliament meekly accepting being referred to as "sweetie" - NOT!

Dear Poirot,

Thanks for your kind words.

I make huge mistakes - but hopefully
I will learn from them. I've got such good
role models on this forum - and I mean that
sincerely - from SteeleRedux, to yourself,
and many, many others. I find at times that even
the people that I thought were not logical
tend to surprise at times. We all have our
stories and that's what makes it interesting,
and keeps us coming back.

Foxy,

Obviously logic is not your strong point.

I agree with Poirot that not everyone there were Labor supporters, however, the majority were labor or greens.
Secondly not everyone was booing Howard and Abbott or nor cheering Juliar.
Finally, within the coalition Abbott and certainly Howard are held in high regard.

Therefore the conjecture that because there were a sprinkling of Liberal supporters in the crowd that they joined in the booing is logically feeble in the extreme.

The only conclusion is that the left whingers hate anyone that thinks differently from them, and have the manners of feral pigs.

Just on one little point.

I have referred to Foxy many times as Sweetie, & meant in the nicest way. She has earned it.

Some surely would have noticed I have never used the term when addressing many of the women, [I couldn't call them ladies], on here.

Hasbeen,

Yep, I've noticed that you tend to employ the term to Foxy more as a paternalistic pat on the head...usually when you're about to impart some pearl of Hasbeen wisdom.

Your reference to Foxy having "earned it" would seem to confirm my analysis there.

"Some surely would have noticed I have never used the term when addressing many of the women, [I couldn't call them ladies], on here."

On that aspect, could you point me in the direction of the many "gentlemen" on this forum?....considering there are so many male posters, it's odd that I seem to be having trouble identifying them.

Julia Whatshername (the one with the $2M bungalow in Adelaide) did the Gender War thing, along with the oldie but never a goodie Class War act. However that was all rejected by the public who were revulsed by the Gender Warriors especially.

The feminists' bluff is well and truly blown. It is blindingly obvious that feminists cannot deliver more votes to any Party, including Labor who always laboured (heh, heh) under the now proved false belief that there were 'womens' votes in feminist activism. At most they are spoilers, but have become ineffectual, only a whimper there too.

The public know that the feminist hens were always selfish advocates for their own personal interests and their tertiary-educated middle class elite. The feminist hens who snipe at men and women alike on Q&A are usually well-off, have good super schemes that take advantage of the taxpayer and will never get their hand dirty and that includes doing for themselves - instead, they hire in and claim it is a virtue to have other women cleaning up after them.

Feminism is anti-humanism, fudges numbers and preaches hate, so it is not faring so well with young adults either. They will be voting often and long, so goodbye to the Radfem dinosaurs of the previous Millenium.

The LNP should just let history take care of itself and stay out of the feminist swamp. Tony Abbott has already learned one hopes that being responsive to the advice of feminists is fraught with danger. Because feminists were never in touch with what women want and frankly their egocentrism never cared what 'ordinary' women wanted anyway.
