otb,

Dear, oh dear, more irrational, inflexible
attitudes towards an entire category of people.
Your comments are always rooted in generalisations
and totally ignores the differences among individuals.
Your concepts are so vague and sweeping in their scope.
It's becoming embarrassing.

Still I guess if you think in terms of general categories
then this enables you to make sense of the world by
simplifying its complexity.

You can engage in a debate - by saying some one is wrong
on x-y-or-z. But don't continue to inject some
kind of personal insult or some rude remark
about a characteristic related to the female gender.

Men come in all sizes and shapes, so do women and it is
about time you saw it for what it really is,
just human nature and reality.

Hasbeen has earned a special place in our hearts, so I suggest an appropriately affectionate term should be applied, 'Old Codger' springs to mind. Hassy just take it as a term of endearment.

<<Feminism is anti-humanism, fudges numbers and preaches hate>> Gee, Tony Abbott is a feminists! So are most of the 'Usual Suspects' on this forum. Thanks for that Beach.

Paul 1405,
Well I don't believe in equality and I like to point my finger at other groups in society and shriek "Looooook!", so I guess I'm a feminist too?

It's funny how Feminists like to focus on their 'movement" which has done absolutely nothing for women save act as a women's auxilliary for the worse strands of capitalism yet they never mention the real women's groups,such as the CWA and PWMU, Girl Guides etc.

JAYofM CWA wonderful old ladies, my grandmother was a member, I have devonshire tea every year at the 'Tulip Festival' in Bowral from the CWA ladies, same as it has been for the past 30 years, except for the price. Bowral the home of Don Bradman you know! Yes, Jay The Communist Workers Alliance, what would we do without them! However that Girl Guides outfit are suspect, with their brownies and all that knot tying, wouldn't you agree?

"Well I don't believe in equality" you wouldn't be much of 'White Supremacists' if you thought black people, Asians, Jews, Homosexuals, communists, women, children, Jews, oh I mentioned them, but they are worth an extra special mention,are they not, cats, dogs, goldfish, potted plants, garden worms, chook eggs, paper clips, left handed people, those that don't like Vegemite, etc etc etc the list goes on and on, were all equal to Jay. I agree I am definitely superior to paper clips! I am superior. Hope I didn't get carried away on you there Jay. LOL

JoM,

Er...capitalism more likely acted as an enabling auxiliary for the worst strands of itself where women are concerned.

Lots of spending power associated with women being "liberated" to earn and spend in a consumer society.

"Because they're worth it..." (as the advertising jingle goes)

Of course, with that kind of liberation, other aspects were up for negotiation as well.

The "Jeanie" was let out of the bottle....and who could blame her for finding her own voice?
