  • Hard News: Friday Ideas,

    I'm sitting at home waiting for a call to go in for a CT scan.

    Good luck with whatever ails you.

    That is the message that I get. If you don't agree with a majority position then just listen. Women only. Men get out. If that is netiquette then so ends discussion. Sad.

    Oh, come on. That's the internet equivalent of throwing your toys out of your cot. "Teh womenz, they hate me". There are men here, debating. But even if there weren't that wouldn't make it any more valid.

    I used caps last night "NEVER", because I couldn't think of a way to say never with that level of emphasis. I do apologise if you think I was shouting on you, I don't apologise for expressing the sentiment of course.

    Do I have the right to pull the tiger's tail... turn into she asked for it???

    You're ascribing agency to the woman. You're suggesting that she is responsible for provoking the man. Pulling the tail.

    What is more, you're taking away agency from the man and the choices he has chosen to make. He is not a mere animal, reacting to provocation. He is a human, and we hold him to much higher standards.

    It is NEVER the fault of a rape or harassment victim. NEVER.

    You're also going to struggle to drink that beer. A jilbab or or hijab, though, no problem.

    Not that you'd be drinking beer if you were a devout Muslim of course.

    Do I think that a girl skimpily dressed accentuating her bare body, and entering into dark and lonely space is wise? No. And when my daughter was a teen she chose not to.

    So a pub is a dark and lonely space?

    Do I have the right to pull the tiger's tail? Would it be wise to do so?

    Yeah, she's asking for it.

    Women who have breasts are asking for it. Women in church are asking for it. They're all asking for it. (warning, ED, offensive)

    Three pages about shoes! Is that what the Women's Movement was fighting for?

    This thread is 15 flavours of awesome.

    I'm 100% behind this.

    Is that what the Womens Movement was fighting for? (tm)

    Clearly we're not in much of a financial crisis then.

    The downturn was supposed to bring hemlines to the floor, and cleavage disappear.

    La Philosophie dans le Boudoir? I'm a little scared of what Emma could do with that.

    Does my theory look like a slag in this?

    You are all quite delightful and I am beginning to wonder if this is actually the internet.

    No, this can't be the internet. Everyone knows there are no women on the internet.

    And those aren't Aussies texting and crashing, they're Welsh. What should have given it away is that nothing in Australia is green, and the nearest ambulance is 4 hours away.

    I would like more sports teams to wear bright pink. That colour is simply awesome.
