Misanthrope,

You espouse a vile philosophy, one which is totally out of step with the modern world, in which men and women are equal in all matters. Obviously you do not believe that men and women should have equal rights, and that is your excuse for the bashing of women. Presumably as long as none of their bruises show ?

There is no place in modern societies for the bashing of women, no matter how 'gentle' you do it. Can your women bash men 'gently' ? No ? Then your anti-feminist brutality is repugnant to most decent people in a decent society.

I really don't know if you are a child or actually a grown-up spouting such dreadful rubbish. In a way, I hope you are just a child, because at least, that suggests you have time to learn, to learn to love and respect women above all.

Misanthrope,

Is this the sort of thing your 'sacred book' teaches you ?

If so, it has no place in Australia, and never will.

As a feminist noted recently, the opposite of a feminist is an @rsehole. This father certainly is. I hope the world is a better place by the time he gets out, a world fit for feminists and for their taken-for-granted equality of rights for women.

Mrs or MIss loudmouth you are the nasty one here and very rude and insulting to. Probably is why you have no place to argument with me. How long have you being a racest? Many years I think. If you are a real man your must be very weak man very weak man for sure only way to discuss my opinion is to be rude to me. Your are very weak rude person I know.

Here are some remarks directed to misanthrope and to Fifth Columnists generally, conceding that Loudmouth may have been rude and I may be about to be also:

Do you know what the values of the Enlightenment are? Or care?

Do you unequivocally uphold the following freedoms of every adult individual which arose from the Enlightenment and the best moral values leading to it?

• Freedom to hold any religion s/he wishes
• Freedom to shun, disobey or leave any religion s/he wishes
• Freedom of voluntarily sexual or marital relations with any adult s/he and the other person wishes
• Freedom from enforced marital or sexual relations s/he does not want
• Equal legal rights irrespective of gender or ancestry
• Freedom of anyone – man or woman – to disobey another person’s demands without physical punishment
• Freedom to uphold, reject, criticise, insult or revile any religion by speech or publication
• Freedom of association. And from it.
• Freedom of assembly. And from it.

Do you commit yourself to accepting, even in the teeth of any person or cult seeking to coerce you otherwise, all the abovementioned personal freedoms for yourself and everyone else?

If so you belong in a free and decent society and Loudmouth hjas misunderstood you. If not you don’t and he hasn't.

Misanthrope,

Rude ? It's called 'freedom of speech', and you and I are equally entitled to it. You're entitled to spout your ghastly anti-woman rubbish, and I'm entitled to criticise you for it.

Every woman should have the same rights as I do. Do you disagree with that ?

I love fishing expeditions :)

Joe

misanthrope, you're forgetting this is Australia and that garbage should be left at the front gate as it has no place here mate.
