Feminist writer is upset because a major newspaper dares to criticise some aspects of feminism.

The Punch is not to be taken seriously. I am as likely to read it as i am likely to read Jezebel.

I'm still laughing. Seriously, check this, right. Macquire writes,

Maybe there was a party at the Sydney Morning Herald last night and after seven schooners the leader writer remembered they hadn’t filed and had to pull something out of their arse.

... and then she publishes some bullet points. I- sorry, I just honestly can't stop laughing at this.

What a half-arsed article!

one. Find article that crticises feminism in a disjointed way

two. Recap said article in an even more disjointed way, don't add anything of substance to the conversation Add snark, sass, and/or moxie instead

three.???

four. PROFIT!

Is there a feminist news source that doesn't resort to ad-hom attacks every time someone disagrees with them? Not rhetorical, I'm honestly interested in listening to what feminists have to say as long as they'd stop being douchebags.

For a second, I thought maybe this would be the first feminist to have the moral courage to say "it is wrong to assume that all men are child rapists." Apparently not. Feminists are simply incapable of saying anything that might reduce the culture of anti-male hatred and prejudice.

Which is why the Herald article was right on target.

Did anybody read the article she's bashing though? It's pretty awful. There are so many bullshit connections that the author is making that I don't even know where to start picking them apart. Not to mention that he's not even really criticizing feminism, just the "sexual revolution". Which apparently has resulted in more pedophilia? I highly doubt that Helen Gurley Brown is to blame for internet pornography.

Another comment. Lol.

In addition, it seems completely acceptable and cause for celebration for men to date younger women and, as such, it is no shock that this makes men chase after young girls.

One word. Cougars.

Honestly, it's like some people look at the world and actually see the opposite of what is happening.

Tory Shepherd is a typical retarded bleating feminist. She got her panties in a twist last year when a bunch of posters, myself included, starting pointing out the double standards of her articles and discussing Mens Rights. We were swiftly banned.

For those outside Australia i should point out that Fairfax ( publishers of the Sydney Morning Herald ) and Murdoch's News Limited ( publishers of The Punch ) are bitter commercial and ideological rivals. On that alone any attack on SMH by The Punch should be taken with a bucket of salt. Better yet, do what i do when you see such a piece - don't bother reading it.

PS

Does poor old Madonna look fucked up in that picture, or what!?!

Firstly, the original editorial does not mention Feminism. Not even once. Maquire can claim that the sexual revolution and Feminism are synonymous, but that does not make it so. It was birth control and the youth culture of sixties baby boomers, if you ask me.

Secondly, every single person getting on a plane - whether man, woman, or child - goes through security as a suspected terrorist. Only men are being considered potential pedophiles and THAT is why men will not simply shrug it off.

DarthOvious · 2012-08-17T12:41:25+00:00

From the article that was being criticised within the comment section:

Disagree.

As a green, I understand this piece with more clarity that any of you, and agree compleley with the intellectual piece. It is a well written piece that strives to put into place the context of these laws. Men should just do what thyey are told, andthey shouldn't have their feelings hurt. They have mysoginised women far too long.

Of course we should just do what we're told. Perhaps she could just do what shes told as well when we tell her to shut up.

Helen gurley brown was an awful human being, out of interest i read her book. She should never have the label of a feminist she sees men as a meal ticket and talks openly about how to use sex as a weapon, how you should settle because all men are the same and you may eventually partly like them. If she inspired anything it was how to lay back and endure sex (her words) for a wealthy husband.

That's nothing out of the ordinary. Feminist writers are almost always upset over something trivial.
