"We have a voice. That voice is listened to by many people,
and people absorb what we say."

Most people have critical facilities and do not go along with drama queens and those who exaggerate the facts except of course for women who are insecure about their gender.

"the spoken word really is very, very, powerful."

Especially when it is used dishonestly by women who are insecure about their gender.

cont'd ...

Dear Suse,

BTW: -

Mr McGuire did refer to Caroline Wilson by name (the name
"Caroline" should have been a give-away to her gender -
don't you think?). There were also mentions of "She"
during the comments made, so people knew exactly who was
being referenced here.


Those who claim that McGuire attacked her simply
for being a journalist? For what? Doing her job? She's
never wanted to drown anybody. He offered $50,000 for
it to happen to her. But, Just as a joke of course.

In any case, Mr McGuire has apologised. Hopefully in the
future perhaps he shall look more closely at what he says.
Especially picking a better time for his "jokes" - than a week-end
when there was a campaign against violence on women being run

So much hypocrisy and so many nagging, negging, white middle class feminists with noses in the trough of taxpayers money. Any wonder that so very, very few of the millions of taxpayers dollars allocated annually to improve the lot of indigenous women and children find their way to the sharp end.

That is what it is all about, maintaining and extending the privilege and power of a noisy, well-positioned and secure interest group, Emily's Listers favouritism and self advancement crew, who are adept at feeding controversial, highly contested misinformation to a tabloid media that thrives on sensationalism and rarely checks its sources.

Papers like The Age, once a broadsheet with some pretensions to credibility at least for its news, that is being hollowed out and shrinking because it has been overtaken by technology. It caters to a dumbed-down readership who allow others to do their thinking for them and are so limited in their own expectations that they crave the stimulation of shock, horror and (apparently) best of all, the humiliation of daily victims. The new axiom? Never let the facts get in the road of a good story.

The vulgar humour of Eddie McGuire is no different from that of the highly paid women who like Eddie are touted as 'media personalities' and even as 'experts' whenever an expert is needed - which is often because the media makes the news, especially on The Box.

Here is the very well off and very white-privileged-educated middle class-womyn Ms Tracey Spicer, ABC media personality and expert on sexism, misogyny and 'DV' holding forth on Eddie McGuire and ripping him apart,

Spicer,
<"ABC TV presenter Tracey Spicer told news.com.au the AFL’s response to the McGuire incident was “pathetic”...

“The media — in this case, Triple M — should impose a sanction or penalty on Eddie McGuire. Frankly, he should be taken off air. As the national convenor of Women in Media, I find it reprehensible that a female journalist is referred to in this way. It’s no wonder women only make up nine per cent of sports reporters in this country.

“As consumers, we can vote with our feet, ears, eyes, purses and wallets. Don’t go to Collingwood games. Don’t listen to Triple M. Turn off the Millionaire Hot Seat. Boycott anything to do with him.
“Our steering committee at Women in Media plans on approaching board members of both the AFL and Triple M, to take this matter further".>

Here is Spicer on that 'that' site, letting it all hang out for the confirmation and applause of other Oz feminist mates and talking about men's parts and revealing her stereotypical feminist views of men. Men judged by their cock size and shape.

Spicer's vulgarity and jibes, her freedom of speech is not for men to enjoy though. That is the double standard.

Feminists' care factor for elderly women or (say) women in those 'Struggle Streets'? NIL.

What complete gall and what better evidence that the media spin stories to comply with and buff up the prevailing political correctness.

OTB "The vulgar humour of Eddie McGuire is no different from that of the highly paid women who like Eddie are touted as 'media personalities' and even as 'experts' whenever an expert is needed...".

I doubt there are any women in the Australian media paid more than the supposedly great Eddie McGuire, do you?
Can you give me any actual examples of Australian female journalists being as vulgar as slimy Ed?
Can you give me any examples of them joking nastily about wishing or betting on violence happening to male journalists?

And I am certain it wasn't just your hated feminists who were upset by his comments, as I am sure you are well aware of...

Dear Phanto,

Not all people use their critical facilities - especially regarding
issues whose subject matter often involves deep human and moral
concerns and ones that disagree with their viewpoint.
Also, insecurities and dishonesty do not belong to just one
gender.

Finally, as we see often especially on this forum, people in
different walks of life interpret the same phenomenon - whether
it is a political party's policies, the treatment of asylum
seekers, gun-control laws, gender issues, same sex marriage,
abortion, religious fundamentalists, multi-culturalism,
et cetera, in very different ways. In other words, people often
tend to see the world from a viewpoint of subjectivity -
an interpretation based on personal values and
experiences.

If the world consisted simply of some self-evident reality that
everyone perceived in exactly the same way, there might be no
disagreement among observers. But the truth of the matter is
that what we see in the world is not determined by what exists
"out there." It is shaped by what our past experience has
prepared us to see and by what we consciously or unconsciously
want to see. Knowledge and belief about the world do not
exist in a vacuum; they are social products whose content
depends on the context in which they are produced.

I've written on this subject so many times. For example -
a fundamentalist preacher will tend to view pornography in one
way; the owner of a strip-tease establishment, in another way.
Each is inclined to perceive facts selectively and to interpret
them accordingly.

Inevitably we are all guilty of some measure of bias -
the tendency, often unconscious, to interpret
facts according to one's own values.
