    If you swap "Women" and "Men" in your comment, you can get an idea of what women have felt since... well, since FOREVER.

    I think they liked to be referred to as "God-Fearing Christians".

    Who knows what's been said in the interim, I'll not read through 8 pages to find out, but are you planning on procreating at any point in time? cause, like Dood, that is not going to help it along.....

    I've had some correspondence from people concerned about Billy's domestic violence bull. There were no animals injured in the posting of the gif... however the making of the gif could have resulted in roast beef

    That is an exceptionally insightful assessment of why this phenomena is probably happening!

    Its just never ending, isnt it.....
    Im beginning to wonder if men and women have reached the stage where they just cant tolerate one another
    any more...
    But then again if anyone criticizes women, we are regarded as "misogynists"...
    Bit like criticizing islam being called "islamaphobia" isnt it...just another way to shut us up...
    I wonder how many guys are still paying for dates these days...
    If women want equality, then maybe every dating couple on every date, should go dutch......
    I would recommend dutching to any and every guy out there...its only fair isnt it....
    Now watch the feminazis get stuck into me.....pft....

    not about you... about the domestic violence bull. Told them I had nothing to do with it... ran into the brick wall all by itself.

    Btw did you see what Scott Morrison said....

    Scott Morrison says the rise of women should not come at the expense of men

    Well, its an election year...he'd say anything to secure the male vote...but he may lose the female vote
    He'll probably be labelled misogynistic for saying that....

    Well observed. The other difference is that the experience women had was real, rather than the product of resentment and confirmation bias. Billy's list is BS. No surprises there.

    I'm trying to see how Scotty's idea would work mathematically - but failing. Is he proposing the building of a second parliament house just for women so the numbers can become even? Because otherwise in any fixed system comprised of 2 elements - if the proportion of Y increases X has to decrease.

    You should take a wider view on that phrase. I suppose I'm more sensitive to his point because of what happened in South Africa, Affirmative Action on steroids destroyed the country. To correct a wrong came at the expense of white people... which is fine, but they went too far... now they're just discriminating against whites and the country is sliding into the abyss. If they had limits the country may have been saved.

    I think there are enough voices pushing minority, women's, gays, transgender etc rights... I also think it's important that we place limits on the internet lynch mob. You do not have the right to drive another into the ground so you can have what you perceive is owed to you.

    My husband and son are white men... I don't want to see them broken down, ridiculed and blamed because of a culture they were born into.

    Two points...
    Research has shown that at the moment, white males are the most discriminated group on the planet.
    Secondly people seem to forget the first two words of the title of this thread..."Incessant promotion..."
    Morrison is a fool, and a well known wanker in Canberra...
    I have no qualms about women being promoted into political portfolios if they have the capabilities
    for doing the job....not just because of the incessant demands for women to be given portfolios just because more women are needed...
    Btw..great to see Jamie Kah ride the winner of the Australian Cup today on outsider Harlem at 40/1
    I do feel that Morrison may have just lost the election....

    You worry to much. Your husband is a married man. Believe me when I tell you he is used to being "broken down ridiculed and blamed". Same thing goes for your son, someday somewhere he to will be 'enlightened' in this regard. :mrgreen:

    No, I backed Avilius yesterday and cancelled my bet when Bowman got off...
    I then backed my second choice Shillelagh each way (2nd)
    Jamie's a damn good rider...she'll go really well in Melbourne...
    I couldnt help but notice her hands right up on the horses head, pushing the head out instead of using the whip...seldom see that these days...clever girl...
    could have won her the race...

    Whips are still too heavily relied on.
    I always liked Darren Beadman for his riding skill.

    I think that whips, although heavily regulated now, may eventually be phased out...
    I too liked Darren Beadman...great rider...
    I remember him once telling the story of being in a foyer somewhere after he had recovered from his bad fall
    in HK saying to the doorman.."dont you remember me...I used to be Darren Beadman..."

    It can be hard if you've left your name tag at home.
    I wish they'd hurry up and get rid of whips. The scandal recently about electric " encouragers" doesn't give me much hope.

    Jiggers have been around for years..not being a jockey, I dont know how much more a horse gives when
    hit with the whip...couldnt be much more than a length..makes a difference I suppose..
    The Aquanita inquiry last year uncovered a huge amount of milkshaking by another trainer...
    There will always be dishonest trainers who think they can get away with bending the rules...
    Having said that, I think that horse racing in Australia has been cleaned up quite considerably in recent times, to the extent its probably ranking very highly in the world due to our stringent regulations.
    Yank horses for example are doped to the eyeballs all the time..
    The UK jumps races over 4 miles or whatever are just plain bloody cruel.....
