Spin sisters and the poison pen.

To make such a huge generalisation, I didn't realise that she was that old. Imagine living in a millennia that would mean she is more ancient than the dinosaurs she liberally denigrates. Again it is not men who condition children but their mothers who transfer their own sexist attitudes onto the children. Sadly in her age-old wisdom, she never met Modesta Pozzo.

It appears that the mother is a figure who has greater influence in the transference of discriminatory behaviour. According to Garaigordobil, "the degree of sexism in the mother is more linked to that of her sons or daughtersin comparison to the influence of the father.

Gemmell also asks "What were these men so afraid of?"

What men are afraid of is being the target of the next bloodthirsty feminist lynch mob, lynch mobs led by vigilante journalists. Men are afraid of the shaming tirades of angry women, of having their lives destroyed when seemingly harmless acts can lead to shame and humiliation. When such acts are weaponised, and every time a destructive woman wants to win an argument, she will guilt trip and shame her target.

The future is roaring at the dinosaur men, Luis Rubiales supreme among them right now.

Is this the sort of equal feminist future we want, one that is not based on mutual respect, but one that is driven by fear? Driven by guilt tripping and shaming?

I suspect within the halls of the once great The Australian newspaper they have their own special brand of Kool-Aid.
