you are talking about philperth right?

I suppose the non feminist men are the ones that are bulked up on steroids, the body building gurus that live for protein shakes and lifting. They will realise the error of their ways when they get to 35-40. I've seen what happens when they stop and they do stop as they get older.

Warning: never walk between them and a mirror.

Heaven forbid another gender....????

Maybe the title of the thread should appropriately be named,

"Children from gay families"

Maybe lesbian families, which would explain there femininity.

A child no matter what gender needs feminine & masculine influences in their lives.

Sprintcyclist wrote on Apr 13^th, 2014 at 12:23am:



Do you view your wife as an equal, Sprint? Do you think that women and men should have equal rights and opportunities?

I'[m betting that if a woman you loved was discriminated against because of her sex, you'd hit the roof.

No one notices a slice off a cut loaf, leftards.

Sprint's lobotomy hasn't made any difference to the quality of his posts.

bogarde73 wrote on Apr 13^th, 2014 at 10:21am:


Exactly right.
Everyday that I see the BS that the rightards post on this forum I am thankful that I am not one of them.

With every one of little Sprinty's posts, what becomes clearer and clearer is that he's one hell of a f-cked up unit with many unresolved issues.

No no, Sprint's a miracle of the modern age. Look at what he can do with a six word vocabulary and the brain function of a sheep.

It's a testament to the New Zealand health and education systems, it really is.

I just noticed your picture, dear boy. Present company excluded, of course.

Sprint's more the baa baa kind. You know, land of the long white cloud, all that.

Absolutely sprint.
I am reminded of a line froma woody allen movie where he is doing
"african american studies" at uni and proclaims "just one more semester til i become black"

feminism is, by definition, a female only domain.
Any man who tries to join the movement is fundamentally confused. As confused a woody.

You can study females all you like but you can never understand or join.
You can read every article ever written on "mangoes" but if youve never put one in your mouth, you are clueless to believe you can ever understand the subject.

Enough said 

I have never considered women should strive to be equal with men.

Surely they can set their sights higher than that.

BatteriesNotIncluded wrote on Apr 13^th, 2014 at 5:07pm:


No long bow.  Men and women and how they relate is a social matter, a constant negotiation.  When two equal parties are negotiating a contract, involving the massive power of the state, the corporation and the academy can only ever lead to a gross mismatch.

Annie - men and women are FAR from being the same.
Women have more rights than men, any bloke that wants to 'roll over' and blab "oh, you women are downtrodden" is a total fool.

He's a loser. I have no time for him.
He underestimates women at our expense
As if women need a handup, hah !

feminist men, go take a hike.

Peter Freedman wrote on Apr 13^th, 2014 at 5:13pm:



he prob even votes some lefty party too.

My 2 cents

Both men and women have the same mental abilities, therefore I believe in same job same responsibilities same pay for both men and women.

But there can be no denying that men and women are wired differently both physically and mentally.

On average men can concentrate longer, women have a shorter attention span, men are more cunning than women maybe even smarter than women on average.

Men are physically stronger and more verile.

Chemically we're poles apart.

Women can handle stress much better than men and are stronger psychologically by a lot.

So women be women and the thing us men love about you women.

And men be men so that women will  enjoy what they enjoy about men.

Imo when one tries to be the other it becomes a dogs breakfast.

Nothing enigmatic about me. Am an open book.

No, I couldn't vote in Australia, but I can here. And will be in September.

Have already joined the NZ Labour Party, a Lions Club, Grey Power and will be joining the local theatre group.

I acknowledged that it's not about same-ness.

A lot of women in Australia are pretty lucky. I personally don't feel like I am discriminated against in any part of my life. I don't need a hand up, but I'm not kidding myself that it is the same for all women here, let alone throughout the world.

We have a shameful domestic violence rate in Australia, for one thing. Do you know how many women are killed by their partners a week? That is a feminist issue.

Annie Anthrax wrote on Apr 14^th, 2014 at 8:41am:



I believe it is about 4 - 6 women get killed per week in a domestic violent event.

Do you know the occurance of domestic violence is about 50/50 offenders men and women.

Only, women get ALL the sympathy.
In a split up women get by far the best of any deal.

we are discriminated agaisnt heavily.

the last thng we need is some femininst nancy male saying  how bad us men are and how great women are.
What tripe, and he is helping noone.

Sprintcyclist wrote on Apr 14^th, 2014 at 12:32pm:


I don't deny that domestic violence has both male and female victims, but how many men do you think die at the hands of their female partners a week as opposed to the other way around?

And you overestimate the number of women who are killed on a weekly basis by their partners. Not four or five - just one, on average. That's one too many, I'm sure you'd agree. Or do you not care because you've got some f.cked up idea that acknowledging how outrageous that is in today's Australia somehow loses you points in your imaginary war between the sexes?

I wonder how many of these fatalities could be avoided if a man could check his wife without forfeiting (at least) half of everything he owns, and probably his freedom too.

I usually do. Not belittling men, simply pointing out we do not represent the epitome of human development.

Annie Anthrax wrote on Apr 14^th, 2014 at 1:13pm:


It could be more if you include part of the suicide statistics, in other words, suicide can be a consequence of domestic violence. Deaths resulting from suicide are about double that of deaths from road accidents, and the true level is probably higher, because it's not always clear whether or not a death due to misadventure is due to suicide.

Of course, the suicide rate has always been higher for men, and the highest rates are 80+.

It's complicated though. Probably more men die as a result of domestic violence that they have perpetrated, when the female partner suddenly snaps.

It's easy to draw incorrect conclusions from statistics.

I don't think that was implied. Development is a process... women don't just get born developed!

Sprintcyclist wrote on Apr 19^th, 2014 at 10:49am:


Women are more developed because they have a womb. I'm sure one day artificial sperm will be developed, although it's unlikely to replace the real thing.

Quote:


Most women like chivalrous men, but they have to earn that chivalry. Some can't. If we were given the choice between a respectful male and a disrespectful one - then only a few self deprecating women would choose the latter.

It's true about the attraction though - generally I think females are more inclined to move towards those males who aren't afraid to speak their mind or act on it - within reason of course.

It's a fine line between pleasure and pain as the great Chrissie Amphlett said!

Men who speak their mind get looked after, for sure!! Dad scares the other one into submission and mummy pretends she is blind and goes shopping for new curtains and bed sheets and endless amounts of little knick knacks to forget who she actually married but she's got a nice big boring and cold house but.....

It's a flaming picnic this world! It's a wonder we're not all drinking metho...

It's surely difficult for women in this world but men get treated like f'n shite too ya know! Where are the female feminists is the question?? Women who blame men for everything aren't even women: in my opinion a feminist is a real woman!

I'm no Feminist male, but I like to think I'm a reasonably sane one. I was a single dad with two boys and a girl so the questions around modern woman were of intense interest to me. I took the path of raising all three to think for themselves, I taught them to respect everyone that earned that. I gave my daughter a variety of role models of every ilk, and allowed, no, encouraged her to choose who she wanted to be, and not to ape any given style. We all as a family had many long discussions of this and many other important questions as they grew up and I always listened to them. Peer pressure was an important point, and I demonstrated to them how it was being used and abused in the Feminist approach, as well as by others.
Now my girl is a successful accountant and largely ignores the Femnazi's, she is confident and assertive and needs no-one to tell her about repression or privilege, she just does as she thinks best. She's in a happy relationship and laughs if anyone talks about a "glass ceiling", she reckons that's a mirage and has every intention of proving it too.
I think the Fems seem to think that to be equal they have to be manly, and that femininity is some sort of disease.
B/S, all I can say is..Viv la difference!
