Foxy,

I read the link again and nowhere did it say

"61.6% of the Australian population votes YES.

38.4% of the Australian population voted NO"

which is what you said.

I suggest that you go back and read the link again and learn to quote accurately.

Pay particular attention to the fact that nowhere on the link is there a statement that 100% 0f the Australian population voted, which is what you are saying.

It'd be nice if you, just once, admitted that you were wrong.

leoj,

I do not have a political agenda.
My views are not set in concrete.

I rely on facts which is an occupational
habit being a reference librarian and having worked
in special, public, university, libraries both in
this country and overseas for decades.
I have been professionally trained to delve into
issues.

I therefore respond to irrational, inflexible
attitudes toward entire categories of people.
And to statements rooted in generalisations that
ignore the differences among individuals.

Now your statements generalising women and anal sex -
are simply false. You are in no position to speak
on behalf of ALL women. And my pointing this out does
not mean that I have a political agenda, or that I
am pro anal sex or anti women or that I am trying to
gag or censor you.

We've been down this route many times and it is your
well worn tactic every time something is pointed out
that does not agree with your viewpoint.

Again, you are breaking the rules of this forum by not
sticking to the subject. But then you already know this.
So I shall leave it there.

I do not usually enjoy engaging with you for obvious reasons.

Dear Is Mise,

You do need to have your eyes tested.

It's all there on page 1.

But if you can't see it - I can't help you.

Foxy,

I have pointed out several times that I am merely addressing the remark of another poster back on page 17 (and you put your oar in as well), correcting any misunderstandings that result where raw data is interpreted without the necessary restrictions.

If you disregard peer-reviewed research in the prestigious British Medical Journal because doesn't fit your idealism then so be it. But don't be blaming me as the messenger.

Why is it that the pro-anal sex push are so determined to use heterosexual women as the cannon fodder to legitimise penetrative anal sex? It is obvious fudging and lies through misleading a trusting public. However, saying that 30% had been exposed to anal sex is more a red flag that something is going awry, that women are being abused surely? And that the advances made by women are being rolled back.

Does someone have to spell it out for you? While 30% report having anal sex, it is anal sex that is being done to them. The pro-anal activists deliberately mislead when they use that number.

Few women would ever seek anal and for rather obvious reasons, denial of their womanhood for starters. Then there is that nasty stereotyping of women, as holes for men to use for their own gratification. The usual men demanding anal from women come from the background of familiarity and preference for it from their sex with male partners. It stand to reason too, that these men are very high risk of STIs where women are concerned - and more so because they are demanding anal and more likely to NOT use a condom.

For posters with inquiring minds who want facts, here is another useful and relevant research report,

Off subject!
My wife worked for a leading gynaecologist in Cornell University Hospital in the 1960s and his advice to women was, to stay vaginally healthy was not to wear briefs as they spread bacteria from the anus to the vagina. Faeces does not need penetration to cause bacterial infection.

leoj,

You are doing MORE than "merely addressing the
remark of another poster back on page 17".

You have carried on about the subject of anal
sex throughout this discussion - you've been on
a roll beginning with page 19, 20, 21,22,23,
then back again on page 27, 28, 29. That is much
MORE than "merely addressing..." that's being
obsessive.

And NO ONE is pushing the topic of anal sex apart
from YOU!
