Dear Is Mise,

Quite frankly I've lost my appetite for dragging
this discussion any further. The Bill has passed in
our Parliament and the exact breakdown of stats is
available online by the ABS. You can look it up
for yourself. At the moment I'm tired. We had
a violent storm in Melbourne last night. Thunder
and hail. And several of the sky-lights on our
house we smashed by hail-stones the size of rocks.
And we're told there's more to come. It was a very
scary experience. And we have a lot to do before
Christmas.

Anyway - I'll leave it there.

cont'd ...

Here is the link that I cited earlier:

If you go down the column on the left-hand side until
you come to "results" then click onto that it will
give you the national response.

Dear Foxy,

My sympathies with you on the hail damage, severe storms are not a nice experience.

Regarding the survey, I followed your directions and found that,

"Of the eligible Australians who expressed a view on this question, the majority indicated that the law should be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry, with 7,817,247 (61.6%) responding Yes and 4,873,987 (38.4%) responding No. Nearly 8 out of 10 eligible Australians (79.5%) expressed their view."

That is not,

"61.6% of the Australian population votes YES.

38.4% of the Australian population voted NO."

as you stated.

See the difference?

A Lie repeated and not challenged becomes the truth.

There are elements that are trying to legitimise and normalise anal sex.

Plainly, it would help their propaganda campaign considerably if it could be claimed that large numbers of heterosexual women seek and enjoy anal penetration.

Obviously you have done your part, Foxy. You have been intransigent in refusing to admit the lie and the nasty sexism (and it is 1950's sexism that rolls back the gains of decades since) that is embedded in the anal sex propagandists' false inferences regarding heterosexual women. You don't even want it discussed. That is because any examination finds the facts, the truth. And the truth dispels the lie that is so necessary to those who are determined to promote and normalise anal sex.

If some men want penetrative anal sex there are other men who are seeking to service them.

Dear Is Mise,

Our Prime Minister stated:

"It is a big country 150 electorates
and 133 that's nearly 90% voted YES.
Let's not lose sight that it was a
YES vote!"

leoj,

A second study done by Sydney University
has found the following:

http://www.sydney.edu.au/news/84.html?newsstoryid=14315

According to Professor Chris Rissel -

"The proportions of men and women who reported experiences
of oral or anal sex has increased significantly -
from 79% to 88% among men and from 67% to 86% among women."

Prof. Rissel states that "This is consistent with increases
in the lifetime experience of oral and anal sex in other
countries".

Prof. Rissel may be contacted at Sydney University for
further information.
