Uproar as a man is fairly elected as the "Women's Officer" at a university student union

HeForShe - nothing to complain about here - the feminists should be over the moon with this win for the cause

Why can't feminists let women decide who will represent them? It was a fair vote. Do they think women are too incompetent to make such a choice?

There is of course - no "Men's Officer".

my issue here is this man was elected by majority to this position. now another minority political group isnt happy with it and want him removed.

This group of feminist want destroy democracy. it doesnt matter what the majority want, to them only there political agenda is important. where does this stop? do they want to campaign to have our prime minister replaced by a female even though he won by majority of Australians voting for him/his party.

ffs - this womans officer should not resign on principle.

If a woman is seen as just as capable of doing anything a man is capable of then surely a man is just as capable as a woman.

Don't worry. In order to be fair, I'm sure the position of Men's Officer will be filled by a woman...

Are you qualified for the job? Yes? Then why is your gender relevant? It really doesn't get more textbook than that. It's just discrimination.

If you think only women can represent the interests of women, then you're a sexist.

Heard on the radio earlier that he ended up resigning. Poor guy.

rottingchrist · 2015-04-08T12:14:20+00:00

University student union...

Guy is probably anti-male already. I'm sure he took the treatment like a real feminist should.

But a female teacher or female counselor can CERTAINLY serve boys or men /s

Can someone with access archive it so we can read it, please?

Yet the "Sexuality & Gender Equality Officer" has a Casual vacancy.

This is the same problem they have with national democracy seen for years - we have representative democracies ie we elect people to represent us and our views in office. Is that enough? No, apparently they have to physically represent, too. It's so dumb "only a vagina will do!"

GeorgeOlduvai · 2015-04-08T20:35:10+00:00

"People with a disability generally want to be represented by people with the same lived experience that they have."

So being a woman is a disability now?

2015-04-08T14:18:53+00:00

I am so confused by this.

On the one hand I am pissed that the is a Womens Officer and not a Mens Officer. But on the other, I hope he does a way better job than any of his female predecessors...just to stick it to those whining bitches.
