Like Germaine Greer. I am woman hear me roar.

I think there are still a few around, especially in the workplace. They're pretty annoying, especially when they put men down, that's not equality.

They're the same as male chauvinists, but when you pull them up on it they deny it of course.

The hard core feminist would believe that there is no job a man can do that a woman can't do as well. I don't agree with their cat cry about being equal on all fronts.

I'm not a feminist, I'm a humanist and overly competitive people annoy me. Who cares what they've got to prove?

I see teh ppl that go on about "feminism" arent posting. I want to know what it is that makes all the women here feminists.

In australia im not sure if they are allowed on the front lines yet. Also theres still some jobs labelled "womens jobs" that are paid less. However i pretty much agree that its mostly irrelevant nowadays except for the exceptions of course.

Doesnt that depend what you are disagreeing about?

I wonder who you might be sucking up to Grey?

Actually I think that you don't possess any common sense at all.

You are commonly known as a moron 

I support equality but in my view the reality is that the feminist movment hurt more woman and families particularly than it helped as unfortunate as that is.

Q. How many Feminists does it take to change a light bulb?

A. Trick Question.  Feminism never changed anything.

Q. How many Feminists does it take to change a light bulb?

A. One to change the bulb, one to bitch about how the socket is being exploited by the bulb's obvious phallic nature, and one that wishes she was the socket.

Women are not allowed in frontline positions for a number of reasons - primarily that a vastly higher percentage of them lack the physical strength and the stamina.   The few who do prove the rule - not the other way around.  Then there are any number of other problems - but my primary one is this - We of the West have been fighting in recent years what are essentially 'colonial wars' against easy-beats - and the fighting has been minimal, as have the casualties and the necessity for any prolonged exposure to continuous combat.  'Women in combat' is the product of the mistaken belief that this will always be the case, and that therefore it is somehow 'safe' and 'equality' to put women at the sharp end.  Sharp end at the moment?  Where exactly is that apart from the very few in direct contact with the  enemy at any give time?

Secondly - on 'women's jobs that pay lower' - where exactly are these?  The banks?  The public service?  Teaching?  Nursing?  extra numbers in medicine, pharmacy etc?  All 'protected jobs' with easy conditions, luxury conditions by comparison with real work, and all well paid for the work they do.

Furthermore - immediately prior to the 2007 election, I looked into a feminist website touting women in politics (could be the one run by a past girlfriend of mine).  It touted that women receive 89% of the 'wages' that men do.  Further inquiry showed that women actually perform 36.8% of work hours while being 43% of the workforce.  That comes down to a simple figure - they are - on those government figures overall, entitled to take home pre-tax an INCOME - not WAGES - of 84.45% that of men.

Thus, by feminist and (mangina) government figures themselves, women actually receive a bonus or premium of 4.55% just to go to work in air-conditioned conditions and sit around most of the day.

So...er...your argument was?

What about demanding 50% CEOs?  The government itself, by its imposition of AA/EEO, has decreed, through the implementation of that policy through policy (it is not law!!) that an organisation can set its own policy in determining its promotion etc process.

Ya with me so far?

Therefore, a company/organisation has the unmitigated right to choose for itself who it will or won't have to head its runnings - for its own best interests.  Which ever dodo you promote in the public service to push twelve papers around a day may not matter - but it matters in the real world.

What about quota representation in elected government itself?

Well - sorry for all you ideologues out there - whether you be fascists/communists/ultra-socialists or whatever - but here in MY country it is We, The People who will decide who we will offer the privilege of representing us!  And not some jumped-up clown-lead party that seeks its justifications from some benighted midnight sun country of 7 million people, with the highest divorce rate in the world, Uberkontrolled economy and social life, and where men can be charged with rape under all sorts of ridiculous 'laws'.

Like linking the price of petroleum here with Singapore - a pissant island, linking our social life in this vast country to small and narrow-minded Sweden is total lunacy and only has one aim - removal of real rights!

Damn - they even make Volvos!
