JFC. I don't think this article mentions men once. It's MEN who fail to financially support THEIR OWN CHILDREN WHO THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO LOVE. What happened to all those men who love to provide?

The Israeli army is blocking access to Gaza's landfill & banning the entry of trucks or other heavy equipment to the enclave This created a giant overpopulation of rodents, insects, scorpions & snakes, & rapid spread of diseases UN says it'd take 180 days to clear out those piles if 50 trucks are used each day Israeli general (res.)

BREAKING NEWS!!! AI chatbot Claude has lost consciousness

Thousands of men around the world, including in Australia, have formed online communities to trade in rape content and advice. They do it to impress one another. @emmaquilty_ @MonashUni theconversation.com/men-film…

And men will get so angry that women want to be physically attracted to the man they love & have sex with, meanwhile they're not dating women they think are ugly.

Women will see beautiful women men call obese & see the beauty in her. Women will see beautiful women men call old hags & see the beauty in her. Women will see beautiful women men call masculine & see the beauty in her. Seems like women are more capable of seeing beauty.

It makes men angry women haven't atrophied our capacity for appreciating beauty by conformity to patriarchy like men have & that we don't surrender our rich inner lives to the dictates of stunted, broken, submissive, boring men who fetishize youth in girls, power fantasies in men

Pedophilia is so rampant in our society because children are often the easiest targets for men who believe power and dominance define masculinity.

The Conversation You Must Have With Your Sons Many parents have the "Don’t get raped" conversations with their daughters, but not the "Don’t rape" conversations with their sons. We must. By Carina Kolodny huffpost.com/entry/the-conve…

The argument that women need special protections rather than equality because of reproductive status and biology shows ignorance of the history of labour hire laws. Prior to equality legislation, so called “protective labour laws” for women were common in many countries. These laws restricted women’s hours of work, times of work (eg no night shift) and limited the types of jobs they could do based on reproductive status, family requirements and perceived physical disadvantage. There were often also “marriage bans” where women were automatically fired once married. This was still the case in eg teaching in the 1950’s and ‘60’s in Australia. Another example was the international ban on women in underground mining and from night work brought in by the International Labour Organisation. Say what you want about mining, but The Bread Act 1969 protecting women from shift work as a result meant women couldn’t be bakers in Australia. The Labour and Industry Act 1958 in Victoria dictated women couldn’t work under an Iron roof unless it had a ceiling or was lined. This precluded hiring women in many factories. And the Bread Act was just one of about 600 industrial awards in Australia that had “protective” provisions preventing women from working freely. Eg The Butchers determination 1978 said women were only allowed to work the cashier for safety reasons. The motive was ostensibly benevolent, but these laws were often used to guard against perceived threats to men’s jobs and income by limiting women in the workplace. They were also used as a rationale for wage inequality. Eg. A man’s wage was calculated on the assumption he may have to support a family, but a woman’s wages were calculated on the assumption that she was single and childless or she wouldn’t be working. Wages were also calculated on the basis that women’s different biology made them less productive and more prone to absenteeism than men. All of this caused sex-stereotyping in industries that shouldn’t be inherently gendered. Eg baking. Another example was giving women special status in apprenticeships in the 1970’s. Whereby men were held to an apprenticeship contract but women could dissolve an apprenticeship at any time to get married if they wanted, leading to reluctance to hire women. So special protections for women due to biological sex may *seem* like a good idea to people clueless about the workplace pre-equality legislation, but equality is far better.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

What is Israel’s hold over the Australian government that it can’t even condemn the violent kidnapping of its citizens in international waters? What has become of us?

this will be subject to long questioning at the Royal Commission
