I was just thinking... as much as some men like RM complain, i bet they'd never want to trade places and try to survive in this world as a woman.

Why? Are there women who want to try and trades places with men?

That's been done. Surprisingly, they end up with a vastly different appreciation of men after the fact. Wonder why that is.

Well it really can't be done simply because a woman cannot move herself into a man's body or vice- versa. In many ways women have had to trade places with men because nowadays many woman are the head of household, they hold down jobs with lots of stress and responsibilities, they basically do everything that men used to do plus continue to maintain the teaditional female roles (caretaking of children and elderly parents, maintaining a household...cleaning, cooking, etc)... all while living in a woman's body with alll of the fun that entails.

Tamaka,

Yes. That's one of those simple and sharp observations that cuts through everything. Well done. ;)

Of course they bloody wouldn't. I wouldn't want to be of the sex that is a third smaller and physically weaker than the other sex. This I concluded when I was about seven years old and, on watching a film in which a man was beating up a woman, asked my mother, 'Why doesn't she fight back?' and got the answer 'Because she's nowhere near as strong as he is.'

I'm a sub male. I enjoy being dominated by a female (well, the right female). But I wouldn't give up being male, ever. I like being as strong as I am. I like my body. And I also like my mind. Being male is *fab*. God no, as much as I might worship the right woman, I still wouldn't want to *be* her. The most beautiful, intelligent, serene and all-round-wonderful woman on the planet wouldn't have the advantages that I know I've got.

That's about as close as anyone can get. And if living as a man persuades a lesbian feminist that men are human, then I think there's a real probability that most feminists views on men are as appallingly ignorant as hers were.

Asian men in general earn more than white men in the western world. Where is the leftist outrage over that? None, because it's not politically correct to do so. That said, I believe that there is a legitimate reason behind it. If only white men weren't on the receiving end of this, the leftists would be out in full force making misconception after misconception to disprove the existence of it.

Program wastes millions on making little boys feel ashamed

“All the evidence shows that education is the key to ending the vicious cycle of family violence,” claimed the Victorian Minister for Education James Merlino while launching a new $22.8 million Respectful Relationships curriculum aimed at combating family violence.

The curriculum focuses solely on men as the perpetrators of domestic violence, teaching students that only by challenging male privilege will violence diminish.

No, Minister. That is simply not true.

Over forty years of international research shows school education programmes are not the answer to the problem of family violence, let alone teaching little school boys about white male privilege. What the evidence actually shows is that family violence is not a gender issue. To tackle family violence we need to tell the truth about the violence most children are experiencing in Australian homes which is two-way violence involving both mothers and fathers, violence linked to drug and alcohol abuse, mental illness and poverty.

Peter Miller, professor of Violence Prevention and Addiction Studies at Deakin University has recently reviewed well-designed longitudinal studies which show that key variables in perpetuating violent families include children growing up in homes where they are abused or neglected, or poorly supervised and experience high levels of family conflict.

Ending the vicious cycle of children who mimic parental violence requires targeting these at risk families and teaching violent couples new conflict management skills, as overseas research is showing.

Yet there’s no money for such research in Australia. Here governments and bureaucrats have been totally captured by gender warriors using this important social issue to promote feminist ideology.

Last year Thea Brown, social work professor at Monash University, told Victoria’s royal commission into family violence about the harassment she received when she tried to do research into behaviour change programs for violent men. “It’s an anti-research ideology because research is feared in case it threatens the ideological basis of the program,” Brown told the commission.

The royal commission ignored the evidence of Brown, Peter Miller and other experts who spoke out about the need for domestic violence strategies based on proper evidence-based research.

This nonsensical Respectful Relationships curriculum is in direct response to one of the commission’s recommendations.

“Gender inequity is a part of the picture in many cases, but it is not the only thing. Denying that violence is complex and men and children are victims as well runs against all of the reliable evidence and is simply irresponsible. There’s nothing ‘respectful’ in denying people’s suffering.

Everyone is responsible for reducing violence, and targeting one group of perpetrators over another makes no sense in an intervention called ‘respectful relationships’,” says Miller.

University of Queensland psychology professor Kim Halford, who has conducted research on couple violence, confirms there is no evidence that just focusing upon attitudes can change levels of violence, adding that “programs that only focus upon alleged male power and misogyny as the sources of violence grossly oversimplify a complex problem.”

Parents aren’t mugs. Many are already complaining about the offensive anti-male diatribes in similar programmes being run by White Ribbon in schools all over Australia. “They told us we would be reciting an oath against domestic violence and I assumed we would be involved. But when it came time to do it only the boys were told to stand and recite the oath while the girls remained seated.

Me and my friends just felt embarrassed for them,” the 16-year- old daughter of a friend told her parents.

Let’s hope parents are prepared to take on schools which subject their sons to this vile feminist posturing and put the Victorian government on notice for wasting millions on teaching little boys to be ashamed of themselves instead of addressing the real issues underlying domestic violence.

Bit problem with the first paragraph.

Domestic violence is frequently NOT two way

quote:

and it may take place in low income households, but Domestic Violence is no respecter of class, income group, respectability or sobriety.

quote:

This characterisation of domestic violence being a thing that happens in low income families, who abuse drugs and alcohol, where the woman gives as good as she gets is mistaken and prejudiced.

quote:

And don't come back to me with sub-standard or biased research on the topic. It simply doesn't fit with most of the research,

quote:

or my personal experience, as well as that of partners and friends,

quote:

and the professionals I have worked with, including the Police.

quote:


There's plenty of domestic violence taking place right now in families with very good incomes in the top ten percentile who have respectable jobs, where the man beats shit out of the woman, being careful not to mark her face.

quote:


In numerous court cases the defence of respectability is used. The fact that most domestic violence takes place in low income families is because advanced western societies have more low income families than rich ones.

quote:


I am not denying that men can't be the victims of domestic violence or that for some couples there is a problem with two way violence, and I entirely agree with those people getting the support they need. The people you are lambasting as feminists all recognise these facts.

quote:


However in denying the true nature of domestic violence, the overwhelming number of female victims and the fact that it respects no social boundaries, you are the one perpetuating myths that make it harder to address the real problem.

quote:


I would say shame on you but I suspect you are too far up your own arse to recognise or feel any shame.
