Do you believe that lack of diversity in company CEO's is a feminist issue?

I agree with what you're saying about Abbott. I'm not a big fan of his either, and I think there could be a far better leader of the Liberal Party. There are third parties and independents who deserve some votes for those who don't like the leadership of the liberal party, but also dislike the labor infighting and economic policy. One thing that bothers me at times is how Tony Abbotts dislike for abortion is considered directly sexist. There are reasons to oppose abortion other than sexism.

Outside of all other politics, Gillard's 'Blue Tie' Speech is one of the things that really said to me 'Don't vote for me.' The thing that bothered me the most was that she was claiming that the Liberal party is anti-woman, forgetting ofcourse that there is a female front-bencher in the Liberal Party. It's sad that her popularity has slipped to the point where instead of putting forward good policy, she is attempting to turn this election into a gender war. The way I see it, that's only going to…

Kevin Rudd was also mocked based on his physical appearance, though nowhere near as badly as Howard. Kevin Rudd was considered 'The Milky Bar Kid'. Not an unfair observation, but an observation based on his appearance that doesn't affect his policy or him as a politician.

You should probably have political discussions with groups who are a bit more open to talking about policy rather than simply disliking someone based solely on gender or appearance. All politicians are judged based on their appearance. It's inevitable, really. I've heard less about Julia Gillards appearance than I have about Tony Abbotts 'Budgie Smugglers'.

I was yelled at for holding a door open for someone when I was 14 years old. I don't understand, it is in no way offensive. I do it to Men and Women, it's common courtesy, if I'm at the door and they're close enough behind me, at least a few meters, I'll hold the door after I walk through.

State based in Australia too. Though, every state and territory other than mine has the age of consent at a reasonable 16. In my state it's 17, which is still reasonable. It's unheard of to be prosecuted for statutory rape with someone under the age of 16 if you yourself are 16.

In Australia, we're not so manic about it. In most of the country the age of consent is 16. In my state it's 17, but as far as I know, it's rare for anyone to be jailed for statutory rape.

This is absolutely disgusting, and insane. Abortion itself is a big issue, with so many varied opinions on the matter. Personally I'm pro choice, but I think there should be some restrictions in the second and third trimester, but I know that the absolute vast majority of people would class 'aborting' a living, born baby, as murder. Because, you know, legally it is.

Where did this fantasy that men are not punished for raping a woman begin? Everywhere I hear about it in society it is demonized. I would do everything in my power to find someone who raped a friend of mine, or my girlfriend. I would want justice to be done, and so would, I think, the vast majority of men and women. Where do feminists get off thinking that we don't hate it? Where do they get the idea from that we do not punish it? There is nothing to prove what they say, they just say it because…

She's not making it a feminist issue or anything, just talking about the general perception of women in conjunction with video games. I was expecting it to be about female character models and how they are generally quite unrealistic compared to real women. Whenever I hear that argument I bring up the over the top balls of muscle with legs that pass for a lot of male characters in video-games too.

You are correct, and I agree with what you've said. I however, believe that a large amount of the popular press for Gillard is based on gender more than policy. You are right though, there was a lot more to it than her being a woman.

I bet this is due to the Alan Jones 'Dying of shame' controversy. For those of you who don't know, Alan Jones is a radio presenter or 'shock jock' who likes to kick up the shit, especially in issues of politics. Julia Gillards father passed away recently, and he claimed at a political dinner that he 'died of shame' due to her lies to the Australian people.

The paedophile part I really agree with. I was sitting on the bus and a little girl (who's mother was letting her run rampant around the bus) came up to me and I smiled and said hello, then her mother ran up, snatched her child away and scowled at me. I felt really uncomfortable because the assumption that I'm going to rape a child because I said 'Hello' and smiled is... It's just plain wrong.

Honestly, I don't look at a woman and see a victim, I see a human being with just as much in the way of aspirations or drive as I have. But feminism sees this person as a victim, as someone who can't fend for herself because of all the evil men around her. To me, feminists have the blinkers on to all that happens around women, and focuses on the problems women face alone, they are blind to all the suffering men, or members of the LGBT community are part of. They claim to be an equality movement,…

Oh yeah, I can see your point. Movements that claim they focus on equality, or rather the people in those movements who claim to focus on equality rarely do. they quite often come from this background where they have been brought up to feel superior, and thus they do feel superior, so while they say 'men and women should be equal' they themselves believe that the group they belong to is superior.

My view on it is, in places where prostitution is illegal you will see women who are doing it for reasons that are less than legitimate, either being forced or to support drug habits. Where-as, in Australia, it's a normal thing, that is regulated by the government, It's completely 100% A-OK. That said I still think that actually paying for sex is still looked down upon, by both women and men. That all said, I have no problem with men paying for sex in either situation.

I just think men don't express themselves that way because it's not natural to us. If a man is in a really tight spot he'll sit down with his friend and say 'hey man, this shit sucks.' We still like to get things off of our chests, but afterward we pick up our emotional baggage and go right on to work, or school, or back to our families. We are raised so that we won't break down under hard-ship, and women aren't raised that way. I'm fine with that divide being there. Being a man means to keep th…

thank-you for reading! The idea of the older system that a man provided for his wife and children was a far better one. Men and women had a roughly equal set of responsibilities. the man was responsible for the well-being of his family, and making sure they were adequately provided for. the Woman had a responsibility to keep the house clean, raise the children and cook.

There are no ifs, ands or buts. no 'But women get periods every month and have to go through child-birth.' That is completely irrelevant to a society based on the notion of equality.

non-violent porn is healthy in the sexual development of boys becoming men.

I got into poetry several years ago, after reading a poem written by my late grand-mothers neighbor. It was about her and the day of her death, it was very moving, brought me to tears and reminded me very much of her. Since then I've wanted to be able to evoke similar emotions in people, though in this example it's a very direct connection, but anyone reading it would feel something in it, I feel.

There are more and more women in early learning, and the vast majority of them would be feminists. Though I don't think many of them would be radical, there is definitely (thinking back to my days at school) more than a few double standards in the school system, much the same as there are double standards in the justice system.

I write poetry and short stories, and I'm seeing this a lot. Poems are being used more and more for the purposes of propaganda, in not just the feminist movement. The main reason I think is because it's easier to use against a well reasoned argument than, a well reasoned argument (especially in this case) because it is based upon emotion.

I was bullied in Primary School a lot, and early in High School. My Father always told me to tell them to call him if they were going to punish me when I acted only in Self Defence. I'd only done it a few times, but by year 10 it was something that was rehearsed. I added the police bit in because that boy had really done his best for no real reason, to hurt me.

In Australia there are no Open Carry or Concealed Carry laws. Also, Owning a firearm for reasons of Self Defence is not an adequate reason for a licence. You also can't handle or use a firearm unless you have a licence. It's quite bullshit. However, I personally don't see a problem with scaring off or ordering someone to stand down with a firearm if they're coming at you with, like, a knife or something. It's just really hard to say what is 'reasonable' in a fight, It's a very relative term.

In Australia there are certain laws that pertain to political bias. It's how we avoid having our own 'fox news'. I think that's a decent restriction.

I assume you're from the United States, I don't know about your laws, but our schools have to legally include anyone with a mental disability that twenty years ago they would have had special schooling for. It's something that I really don't agree with, there needs to be a line. Our school sorted it by having a room that they could go to (and pretty much only spent time in) that was separate. The point is, they really need more teachers and people who are capable of dealing with them.

I think where I live that's called 'excessive use of force.' However, If I were assaulted in the street by one person, or more than one person, me escalating it (like, pulling out a knife or grabbing a chair) is not considered excessive use of force. It's excessive if once they're unable to harm you any longer or they're running away, you continue your 'defence'.

Anyone who disagrees with a feminist on tumblr is automatically a rapist or rape supporter, they simply call you names until you back down.

Being in Australia, and currently a student, I can testify to that. The feminist black-out of any issues to do with men is quite ridiculous.

I still draw a very distinct line between feminists (who have valid arguements) and femi-nazis who are simply sexist bigots.
