FOXY You know for years now that the left argued porn was harmless. They argued for no censorship and snything goes. I suspect Harvey was one of the lefts champions. Now the fruit of the idiotic elite is producing the obvious fruit they denied. Now they are dumb enough to think that silly hashtags will repair the damage they have created the atmosphere for.

runner,

Putting labels on other people is usually done out of
laziness, fear, or our indifference to understanding
those people's actual personalities. It is easier in
other words to reduce people to something digestible
and understandable. But when sis this become an
acceptable thing to do?

Hi Foxy,
- There's something not right with your earlier comment -
Sunday, 8 July 2018 6:36:46 PM

It's been bugging the absolute heck out of me for 10mins.
It's like the pinnacle of EVERYTHING that's wrong in society right there in that one comment.

99% of people will read that feelgood crap and buy into it, and think it was a a reasonable thing to say.
- Probably everyone except me

But to me it's total brainwashing bullcrap.

You started with this:
"Before we start to feel smug about how safe our
country is we should actually talk to young
women and see how they feel

A recent survey done in 2016 - (prior to the rape and
murder of the young female comedian in Victoria by a
local) found that one in 3 young Australian women"

Why not ask BOTH young men and women how they feel?
But I digress;
- You frame the original argument around young women -
And then you finish with this conclusion:

"Until we change our attitudes - all of us are part of the problem."

I live in QLD right, and your argument seeks to blame me 'all of us' for something that happened 2 states and thousands of klm's away.

Why am I to blame for something someone else did?
Can you explain that please?

Sometimes I think up the dumbest and weirdest things.
I thought about the first 'safety rail'.

I imagine before safety rails were invented millions of years ago, people had to take responsibility for themselves and ensure their footing; or fall to their deaths.
I bet once the first safety rail was invented, the first boss that didn't use it, well he got the blame now instead, and personal responsibility went out the door.
We'll obviously the safety rail was needed to prevent deaths but look how far we've come:

- I remember a story a few months back detailing a Coles worker who successfully sued the company because they we're not given training on how to use the safe-t-step.

You preach about victim blaming, yet so easily blame everyone for one persons actions.
At the same time you complain about 'holding all women to account for the actions of a few' (your next comment)
But this is more or less the same narrative we hear from your lot.
You yourself seem to defend those who would label us ALL rapists.

And finally, we gone so far with this safety rail bs, that women think they can just walk anywhere at night and be safe.

Like it just never occurred to them that some places might not be so safe.
Do you think when I was a young bloke there werent places I thought best to stay away from lest there might be an increased chance of trouble or might not be safe for me?
Did we have mobile phones or anything else back then? No.

It's like society has actually become so detached from reality, and so lazy and so easy to blame someone else one 'for not looking after us', that we've entered a complete fantasyland.
