Title: A feminist's views on Aboriginal sexism
Post by freediver on Nov 13th, 2017 at 11:38pm
First we had John Smith and PJ saying it is not racist when black and white people have different sets of inalienable rights. Now we have Mothra claiming that sexism also has a different meaning when it comes to Aborigines.

Thanks Mothra. Are you saying it is not sexist for all women to be banned from Uluru, but not all men? Is this your special brand of feminism we are witnessing? The kid that supports blatant sexism if it is wrapped in the woolly fuzz of political correctness?



Of course it's not sexist. I keep telling you that.

Why are you superimposing your own standards on an ancient culture? Want the whole world like you, do you?


I didn't realise there were different standards for what is sexism. I lack your understanding as a feminist on these complicated issues. Can you explain please? Is it not sexist when black people do it?

It's seriously a national embarrassment how little most Australians know about Aboriginal ways of doing things.


Ah. Are you referring to John Smith's repeated lies, even after the evidence was presented in black and white, about everyone, including all the Aboriginal men, being banned?



mothra wrote on Nov 13th, 2017 at 11:35pm:
Do try to think, FD.

If it were sexist, men would be allowed to enter places sacred to women even though women can't enter places sacred to men.

Tell me FD, have you ever spoken to an Aboriginal person about their beliefs and traditions?

I'm asking because you appear to be wildly ignorant yet determined to put forth an opinion.

Did you consider informing your opinion? You know, to make you seem less ridiculous?

I read their confused BS in the other topic.

And yes....I'm still ROTFLMAO.

Freediver.....just so you know...BOTH these 2 ex Yahoo trolls who don't hold jobs and who rely on your taxes to keep them alive....will spend the ENTIRE night and morning exercising their well developed skills in online trolling and spamming utter rubbish.

It's what they do HERE on this site. All the time.

At first...you will spin out at the incessant self contradicting nonsense and probably have a hearty laugh or two. Example tonight's ridiculous rubbish re sexism.

Eventually you will see its serious and tragic side....these individuals are real people who aren't well. And need A LOT of help.

So if you wish to waste the next 29 hrs with these 2 unwell trolls....by all means go for it.

I wish you luck 👍

Mothra, as a self-identified feminist, do you think it is important to throw women's rights under a bus in pursuit of what you see as a higher agenda, like political correctness and winning votes? Is this what it means to be a 'more discerning' feminist?

Is it common for feminists to be unable to identify blatant sexism, for example in banning all women from an iconic natural monument, or do you have to throw in a bit of racism as well to get them all confused? Is it only the rights of Aboriginal women that you want to discard?

There is no sexism or racism involved in the ban on climbing Uluru.

This has been pointed out to you repeatedly.

If i were you, i would let these threads disappear off the front page. You've been thoroughly humiliated in them.

Freediver...ANYONE can STATE the claim that they identify as a feminist.

It's not beyond the realm of logical possibility.

If however their words and actions contradict their claim.... then we have a fundamental incongruity which essentially means that they're full of bullshit.

She doesn't need to 'out' anything. FD has all the relevant information, as do the other mods.  She has given out personal information. According to FD, the fact that it is wrong is irrelevant. Although she is still here so he has ignored it AGAIN.

it's great to see FD run away from his own rules. I don't know why he bothers making proclamations if he then runs away from them. FD only holds people to the rules when they don't subscribe to his level of racism or stupidity.  He may as well just ban the people he doesn't like and stop pretending.

You're absolutely correct Cods.

All I did was copy and paste his own post in response to Freediver's question.

The lying troll's lies were exposed by his own hand.

It's hardly my fault that I picked up the lie he posted.

Would you agree that Aboriginal women tend to be among the most vulnerable in our society? If so, why are you so eager to deny blatant sexism from Aboriginal groups on the grounds that sexism is part of "indigenous reckoning" and their "ancient culture"? And why is considering it sexist to ban all women but not all men my own standard rather than the standard of feminists? Are you saying that equality before the law, regardless of sex, is not a feminist standard? Perhaps you are one of those feminists who consider the 'right' to be inferior more important?

Domestic violence in Alice Springs town camps prompts march to raise awareness

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-07-11/alice-springs-women-march-against-violence-in-town-camps/8698170

Speaking up about domestic violence is "not a shame job thing" women from town camps around Alice Springs were told as they marched to raise awareness of the daily dangers they face.

Hundreds of people have marched through the streets of Alice Springs on Tuesday to support Indigenous women trying to make their lives safe from domestic violence.

A diverse crowd of women, men, Indigenous and non-Indigenous Territorians and people from around Australia marched from the Town Council lawns to the Local Court to raise awareness.

Tangentyere Women's Family Safety Group co-ordinator Shirleeen Campbell said the women of the town camps — Indigenous populated areas around Alice Springs — were fed up with violence in their communities.

"This is where we're starting to make a stand now as town camp women," she said.

"We want to stop the violence in our town camp and protect our elderly women, our young girls, our daughters, our nieces, our aunties.

"We want to stand up for them and teach them about safety and how to protect others."

The marchers included several Labor figures including Senator Malandirri McCarthy, federal MP Warren Snowdon, NT Families Minister Dale Wakefield, and local Member for Namatjira Chansey Paech.

Australia's most prominent domestic violence campaigner, former Australian of the Year Rosie Batty, travelled to Alice Springs to march with the women.

Ms Batty, whose son Luke was killed by his father at a Victorian cricket ground in 2014, said she had visited the Tangentyere Women's Family Safety Group several times.

"We really have a bond and a really shared experience and I think they've welcomed me into their family," she said.

"I think it's that deep connection and pain of loss that we understand.

"They've endured an awful lot for a very long time and this is their demonstration that they're not invisible, they have a voice, they're not just a statistic."

Ms Campbell said she was overwhelmed by the support of the community.

"I'm gobsmacked actually, I'm pleased we've got ministers from all over Australia," she said.

She pleaded with all people to take action to prevent domestic violence.

"If you know someone having that trouble, speak up about it. It's not a shame job thing."
