' But that's a separate issue
and does not justify violence and abuse.
I'm sure you'll agree.'

no Foxy especially like the abc depicting Abbott having sex with a dog or Deveny making the statemnt that Bindy Irwin at the age of 13 deserved to be raped. Both vile but little concern shown by those on the left for such depravity.

Dear runner,

Therein lies the problem in our culture that some
people don't condemn vile behaviour. These attitudes need
to change.

The American Jackson Katz had this to say:

We talk about how many women were raped last year,
not about how many men raped women. We talk about how
many girls in a school district were harassed last year,
not about how many boys harassed girls. We talk about how
many teenage girls... got pregnant last year,
rather then how many men and boys impregnated teenage girls.

So you can see how the use of the passive voice has a
political effect. It shifts the focus off of men and boys
and onto girls and women. Even the term "violence against
women" is problematic. It's a passive construction; there's
no active agent in the sentence. It's a bad thing that
happens to women, but when you look at the term "violence against
women" nobody is doing it to them. It just happens to them ...
Men aren't even a part of it.

Dear runner,

A few corrections.

The cartoon sketch that appeared on "The Roast"
depicted Tony Abbott's mum having sex with a
solar panel. It was done as political satire.

At the same time "At Home With Julia" showed
the then PM pictured naked under the Australian
flag with her partner.

Both of which incidents raised quite a few eyebrows
and got criticisms.

The Chaser Team depicted Chris Kenny of The Australian
having sex with a dog. Its contents were rated PG and
were pitched at a younger demographic.

Catherine Deveny's comments about Bindi Irwin dealt
with the sexualisation of young women in the media.
However, she got the sack as a result. Hopefully she's
learned her lesson.

Foxy, "Therein lies the problem in our culture that some people don't condemn vile behaviour"

You would be referring to that rowdy, violent demonstration in Melbourne. Why are the protesters so frightened of what Milo has to say that they try to censor him?

BTW, how is that comment on the double standard going? And what about the hundreds of millions of taxpayers' dollars, the open cheque books, wasted on feminist experts on sexual harassment and other feminist policies over the forty years since the Whitlam Labor government? What is there to show for it?

The Sexual Harassment Industry (SHI) really sucks. It will be 'All aboard the Gravy Train' if Shorten's lot that were left over from the Gillard government ever get into power.

leoj,

I can no longer take you or your comments seriously.

Your support of Milo Yiannopoulos came as quite a
shock to me. It truly opened my eyes as to who I
was dealing with on this forum. But it suddenly
made perfect sense.

Of course you would support someone who is anti-women,
especially feminists, and the Left.

A British
gay provocateur, a showman,
who sees nothing wrong with pedophilia and the
sexual abuse of children, or violence and abuse of women.
A man who is a smirking void
who's booked to say something outrages while batting
his eyelashes - like Princess Diana. An empty vessel
who is able to thrive unchecked by turning hate speech
into show business.

The vanity, the cynicism, the bullying, the hate-speech,
the harassment, the financial skullduggery - are all
public knowledge. And, as the New York Times stated -
his supporters think he cares for them. He doesn't.
All he cares about is the publicity and the money.
But as long as he keeps on attacking the Left - he will
have his dim-witted followers. The man is a monster.
Basically he's a nut-job. He's even been banned from twitter
(and that's not easy to do).

He's been allowed into this country and people can judge him
for themselves. Just as he's allowed to speak - so protesters
are allowed to protest. Most rational people will not take this
man seriously. Those that will - obviously are pathologically
sick.

Yeah Milo and Peter Singer both are appalling.
