Philip S,

That is true and you will find some astute 'nudging' (social psychology) behind that.

However the real force behind seemingly un-counterable Hegelian Dialectic, liberally used, was real force behind the successful hijacking of gays 'rights' by the manipulative and authoritarian 'wolves in sheep's clothing' leftist 'Progressives'. The leftist 'Progressives' are faux progressive, it is a convenient camouflage for their neo-communism. Their interest in SSM and their hijacking of gay politics was solely to use young impressionable hot-head Gay Pride activists as 'useful idiots', a hammer to smash their hated institutions of family, marriage and so on.

Here is a discussion of Hegelian Dialectic and the rest of the article is worth reading,

"Before we discuss this further we need to talk about the Hegelian Dialectic. This is a process of thought control that keeps us trapped in a narrative that pushes us closer to communism. It is also known as the Problem- Reaction- Solution strategy. Originally developed by Friedrich Hegel, the Hegelian Dialectic is a process where social change is guaranteed because opposing forces conflict, demanding a solution. Karl Marx and Fredrik Engels took this concept to a new level when applying it to their theory of communism."

Leftist 'Progressives' get a lot of help from the humanities academics in some universities, largely sociology but more recently social psychology. Because the academics are putting their professional ethics on the back burner as they rationalise their interventions - that they imagine to be the best course for humanity. t can be blatant. Some social psychologists don't disguise their support through advice on people manipulation strategies for the Obama and Clinton presidential election campaigns, for example. Such departures from academic and research ethics is already having negative consequences for the public perception of science, ie public distrust and cynicism. And there is already plenty of 'sloppy' research associated with feminism that the public is waking to.

I draft quickly and my editing was off. Apologies for repeated 'force'.

Men should get back to acting like men. That is the only solution to their problems - if they really have a problem, and are not just caving in nasty females.

From your reference Leo…

Soc Sci Med. 2000 May;50(10):1385-401.
Constructions of masculinity and their influence on men's well-being: a theory of gender and health.

1st dead rat

…this paper proposes a relational theory of men's health from a social constructionist and, (open alarm bells), “feminist perspective”, (end alarm bells)!

Bingo, Leo!

2nd dead rat.

….the social practices that undermine men's health are often signifiers of masculinity and instruments that men use in the negotiation of social power and status…

Think very carefully on that one Leo!

diver dan,

Thanks, I will bear that in mind.

Here is a quote from Turnbull about the SSM vote, what a hypocrite.

“They are our masters, we who were elected to parliament. It is our job now to get on with it, get on with it and get this done. It is fair."

Strange how politicians forget who there masters are with so many other issues or are afraid to actually ask the people (masters).

This part of the quote should come back to haunt him "They are our masters, we who were elected to parliament."

Anyone want to bet not 1 journalist even reminds him of that statement.
