Thanks for your erudite and measured posts.

And thanks for your follow-up explaining Yoruba. I did a cursory search and only encountered a "Language of South-West Nigeria" which I mistakenly thought was well off ...

Thank you for taking the time to read Rob S and Sacha. My apologies for the vagueness of ‘Yoruba’ above, it was an afterthought that I hoped any one interested may follow up on but in the interests of clarity I feel it’s only right that the point I was…

You've given me a lot of food for thought.
Thank you.
Well said.

How does this all tie together? Well, as I see it, the wider LBGTQAI community (having long been challenged by stereotypes) have helped society successfully challenge stereotypes, and our acceptance of this community has reduced violence and bigotry in our society. With regards to this sloganeering and stereotyping, it is…

the most rational choice is for women to treat all men as dangerous.To treat all men as a threat, and all men as abusers.

Again, while this might sound reasonable when taken as the musing of a caucasian man informing women how to feel and behave, when one considers it…

The other thing that I thought could have been very useful was some serious statistical work, to examine the truth of the “she does it too” claim.

I felt Kyle clarified the situation well on the show:

"There's a lot of research being put into the idea that women are…

Maybe Tony Veitch's column was always inteded to be reverse psychology from the editorial team?

That would require them to be a bit clever, not something that recent history would indicate is one of their strengths.

Maybe Tony Veitch's column was always inteded to be reverse psychology from the editorial team? So bad its good in starting the conversation, just like Gareth Morgans offer on the beach a few months back, get peoples tongues wagging.

Good show, Russell.

For me, the Herald's entire week focusing on domestic violence was soured by two articles that opened the series: Tony Veitch's piece, and Kerry McIvor's piece where she more-or-less said, "Why don't they just leave?" There was some really good work later in the week, but I…

If Fairfax and NZME merge I understand they will be paywalling Te Herald, so we would have to pay to read Tony Veitch's opinion. That doesn't seem like a very good idea. Online MSM in New Zealand is really going to have to lift its game to be worth buying.…

Sounds like brand managers rather than news ones green-lit the story, then. Great PR.

RB, I wonder, if done well, with veitch owning it properly and playing the same role that Jeremy did a few days later, it might have been easier to stomach, and achieved NZME aim of rehab a little more effectively. But no.
