Here we go. Danielle said "There's definitely feminist stuff there to unpack." My point is that rape is not exclusively a feminist issue.

Except for readers in prison.

You're describing ideological extremists, not people with ideologies.
I am describing opinions which were quite popular in bourgeois-leftist circles in their time. The everyone-has-an-ideology argument can serve as a tool for dehumanising the opponent: you have an ideology, but that is because you are bourgeois/male/white, whatever. My dialectic (not an ideology at all, but the historically determined truth) has anticipated your opionions.

It's the humanity, as Russell told the tranny-basher. Ideologues lack the ability to see their opponents and targets as complete human beings. The Kulaks had to be eliminated, because they were the class enemy of the workers. The workers who disagree with the theory of Marxism-Leninism do not have valid opinions; they are suffering from false consciousness. Baby boys cannot be tolerated because they will grow into Men, the Enemy.

And in the 'Angry Wimmin' episode, there's a moment that just makes me gasp: where it's related that some of the radical feminist communes extended invitations for other women to join them -- on the condition that they abandon their male children.
There was a NatRad doco not so long ago - Spectrum I think, about a man who grew up with a Radical Feminist mother in Wellington. He was banned from some of the RadFem meeting places because he was male, despite the fact that he was about five years-old.

Some sort of willful suspension of cynicism has been going on, worldwide. A celebrity who embodies family values is found to be a philanderer; haven't we heard this one before? Yet we respond with surprise and indignation.
In any case, why should Woods matter - because he plays golf very well and he is black(ish)? Is it only me who feels indifferent to the Lives of the Golfers?

Without the help of those guys, kids in Takapuna might grow up never having the chance to become wealthy international yachtsmen who sell their services to the highest bidder.
Think of the children.

I/S reminds us that ACT "demanded a position on the Honours and Appointments Committee as part of their Confidence and Supply Agreement." These people bring a whole new meaning to the word "transparency." They are transparently crooked.

I'm intrigued. Can you elaborate?
Myers has a son in the music business and apparently financed "Crazy."
