Hi Poirot,

[Brief aside: In French, 'chatot' means 'kitten', i.e. from 'chat' - 'cat. So I suppose 'poirot' could man 'little pear', from 'poire'. Just suggesting.]

I was suggesting hypothetically: I agree that, apart from a hell of a lot of damage, cultural Marxists are not likely to actually tear down any capitalist institutions. On the other hand, they may unintentionally force people generally, except perhaps their own adherents, to re-assess their values, to take stock of what they really do believe in, and not to take anything for granted and for that impulse towards scepticism, they should be slightly commended.

After all, for example, would any of us have given a second thought about the hypothetical possibilities of, say, global warming, until the story of global warming was proposed ? would any sane person amongst us have even considered the supposed 'angers' of vaccination if some charlatan hadn't suggested them ?

Scepticism is the best weapon against such frauds, as I'm sure you would agree, so if there any such creatures as 'cultural Marxists', then they have done us some service.

Cheers,

Joe

'Dangers' of vaccination. Oy.

Suseonline, "I think there should be 'unisex' toilets provided at all schools so that anyone can use them. It beats me why this subject is so upsetting to some"

Yet the Germaine Greer and the self-entitled, middle class Oz feminists totally reject transgenders using women's toilets. Not 'real' women they say. Presumably you would agree with that.

In the federal public service the feminist clerical unions insist that M->F trans use the men's (not on say the trans), or the disabled toilets. Strangely, F->W trans are OK in women's toilets. Complicated.

So, at schools do the teachers and visiting public use unisex too? Reasons either way?

Perhaps the leftist 'Progressives' just flex the message to suit their secondary agenda at the time. Which seems to be the case in this instance. Wolf in sheep's clothing and all that.

Suseonline, "At the end of the day, if all kids used closed cubicles to do their business in, no one would know any difference"

From unions too, where women's facilities at work are concerned.

Do you propose an age cut-off and if so, at what age and why?

Unisex toilets and change facilities (it isn't just toilets !) - how to handle the numbers for swimming, sports changes and so on? Or and more like it, are the Trots obsessed with toilets?

It would be very noticeable in a school's building and maintenance. Hugely expensive and prohibitively expensive to retrofit.

Economy of facilities and space is the reason for the lesser equipped male toilets.

As well, men do not have the convenience and benefit of the paper after urinating. Some would like that, which could be an advantage.

Shared facilities would have suited my wife and I when the children were young. My wife was scowled at for taking small boys into women's toilets and despite the separate cubicles. We both would never have allowed the children to enter public toilets by themselves.

That all suggests that you and your Trots mates should be concentrating on community adult public facilities first and leave schoolchildren and schools' facilities alone.

To correct an error in the above,

"In the federal public service the feminist clerical unions insist that M->F trans use the men's (not on say the trans), or the disabled toilets. Strangely, F->M trans are OK in women's toilets."

OTB: The architect behind a contentious sexual diversity program set to become mandatory across all Victorian schools is an outspoken hard-left warrior who has publicly denounced Immigration Minister Peter Dutton as a sexist prick" (from the SBS site today)

Now wouldn't you say that that was Bullying & buy the very person setting up the programme. Do as I say, don't do as I do. Actually I find a lot of that type of thing happening with Feminists. Two faced, eh.

OTB,

"You must be directing that comment at Roz Ward, the manager and co-founder of Safe Schools Coalition Victoria,

"Safe Schools Coalition Victoria co-founder Roz Ward has also conceded the Safe Schools Coalition program is part of a broader Marxist strategy to change society"

Okay....now you stump up with a direct quote from Roz Ward where she states so.

That's a genuine request. If Roz Ward conceded Safe Schools is part of a broader Marxist strategy, then it shouldn't be too difficult to come up with the exact quote...and not some regurgitated line from a Murdoch hack.

Also, can any of you right-wingers explain why you are all so obsessed with other people's sex lives? Nary a minute goes by these days without some rightie opining on the carry-on behind the closed bedroom doors of complete strangers.

What is it with this fascination for sex that has nothing whatsoever to do with you personally?

And now I see the right-wingers on this forum are extending their rather weird sexual fixation into what goes on in various toilets up and down the country.

You have to admit it's all a little warped.

Josephus seems to think two genders can't use a toilet facility without trying to molest each other.

Goodness knows where he gets his debased ideas from....
