According to Quadrant Online today, AHRC’s Sex Commissioner, Kate Jenkins, is soliciting business for her nefarious organisation’s national enquiry into sexual harassment. (as did the unlamented and happily departed race commissioner who hounded Bill Leak to his death). The woman’s tweet read in part “We want to hear from individuals and organisations across the country about their experiences and their ideas for change”.

Just like Tim Somethingorother, Jenkins is touting for business instead of responding to complaints! The editor describes her call as a “make work tweet”. He also suggests that men respond to Ms. Jenkins with instances of less qualified women being promoted over them as tokens; perhaps taken over “a female’s workload because she needed to leave early and pick up the kids”. “When someone kills a woman, do you bristle at the harpies who immediately blame maleness in general? Ms Jenkins wants to hear about it”’ he reckons. What about TV ads that depict “....boys as the future's inflicters of domestic violence.”

If you go to the Quadrant Online website, there is a link to help you make a complaint.

In keeping with the theme of this discussion - that Australia
is not one of the ten most dangerous countries for women -
the federal government is supporting an initiative - a world
first - a national inquiry into sexual harassment in the
workplace. Federal Minister for Women Kelly O'Dwyer fully
supports this "world first" initiative and says that Kate
Jenkins - has her work cut out for her.

For those interested to learn more the following link explains

Worldwide, mothers are the biggest abusers of children and more boys are abused than girls. Perhaps a contributing factor in male/female violence, especially boys raised without fathers.

Ever since humans started congregating in large cities, it has been dangerous for women to be alone and/or out at night.

No woman in 3rd century Rome walked alone at night.
No woman in 10th century London walked alone at night.
No woman in 15th century Shanghai walked alone at night.
Not unless she was insane or a hooker.

There is nothing new under the sun, except the ludicrous fantasy that somehow in 2018, there should be no warnings of potential danger or care taken to prevent endangerment.

You are right of course rache, baby making factories.

If only it weren't so damn expensive raising kids today, we could keep these troublesome women barefoot, pregnant & at the kitchen sink, as nature intended.

Instead today they are infesting TV newsrooms, filling the air waves with useless trivia, & now are filling parliaments with the same rubbish.

This misbegotten girls club that the Queensland parliament has become, will be the death of this once great state.

We need Trump to give us some pointers.

How do you like them apples?

Hey Big Nana,
"Worldwide, mothers are the biggest abusers of children and more boys are abused than girls. Perhaps a contributing factor in male/female violence, especially boys raised without fathers."

Maybe.
Whether its due to unfair treatment and abuse from a struggling mother, or due to the absence of a father I couldn't say.
Nor whether or not these things will simply create a dysfunctional young adult or eventually lead to someone becomes verbally and physically abusive towards others.
