Exactly why do you say that DNA? She's a smart lady and always worth listening to even if you don't agree.

Are you an example of what I mean, ie shut down the voices you don't want to be heard?


She's a smart lady and always worth listening to even if you don't agree.


She was the last few years she seems to have been just saying useless stuff like this.

What debate? 


The debate as to whether Greer should speak or not and what her comments mean for the wider community.



Students who suppress a distinguished scholar’s lecture because they disagree with her have no place in a university....

Those who think it’s nonsense are entitled to stay away.  Or come and argue.  They should not censor views they think are nonsense…

A university is not a ‘safe space’.  If you need a safe space, leave, go home, hug your teddy & suck your thumb until ready for university.

I doubt her comments will mean much to the wider community, unless the wider community is into the women's liberation movement.

Greer is predictable and boring.

She tries to be controversial but even that doesn't always work for her.

In any case, you skirt the point.

Why would it be notable that 'lefties' disagree with each other? You think we all think homogeneously?


It's hilarious watching lefties trying to outdo each other on who's the most offended.



Again you spectacularly miss the point.

If you stopped ascribing people's beliefs systems for them, you would expand your thinking tremendously.



You know culture warrior,  i remember you saying that someone should write a book or do a Ph D into the workings of the leftard brain .

I thought you were just trying to be funny, but i can see now that it is no laughing matter.

They have definitely got a wiring problem.

People can have blindspots and rationalise being illogical, but i think it goes deeper then this.

It could be some sort of prion - linked brain disease or due to some sort of amyloid deposition, but whatever it is, there appears to be an actual organic brain disorder amongst some on the left which is extremely worrying.

More then just a book or a Ph D , i think we need the scientific community to tackle this and quickly.
It is a cause of untold human suffering.  Wink Wink

Does she though?  She certainly did, decades ago, but she already has the fame and now has no need for controversy.  The media however, always need controversy so they pretend this sory of thing is debatable or vontroversial.  It isnt.  Mutilated men are not women, and women should be offended that its even implied that they are just defective men.

Defective? Modified might be better.

No way are they women. Have their genetics been modified? I don't think so.
The best that can be said is that their outward anatomy has been changed.
But they are what they want to be - more or less.

Know the enemies of a civil society by their public behaviour, by their fraudulent claim to be liberal-progressive, by their propensity to lie and, above all, by their attachment to authoritarianism.

Gays are  not transgender


Its a branch from the gays.

transgender go with men don't they...??

Men dressed as women going with men.

That's gay in my books.


Exactly.

Some men who want to be women can do whatever they want and get a LOT of publicity.  Bruce is still a male, regardless of whether he had his balls and penis removed and breasts implanted.

I'd say that he is homosexual and wants to experience it with a male ... i.e. he is homosexual or a try-hard since he is getting rather OLD.

Women getting their hair cut short and wearing masculine type clothing (Penny Wong) doesn't make them male either. Having surgery doesn't make the female a male.

Every homosexual couple (male and female) I have encountered has had a male and a female role to play. A couple of "gay" males aren't both into footy and leaving their dirty socks on the floor, one partner is and the other "partner" does the cooking, cleaning and picking up. Ditto happens with a couple of Lesbians. 

We have males who like to cook and sew and "housekeep" while their male partner goes out and brings home the bacon, as it were. Some males never find their ideal "male partner" but they continue to do feminine things.

Some females like to play Rugby.  Wink

I was reading something that linked steroid use to "transgenderism".  Basically when you artificially raise testosterone to sky high levels, estrogen levels also rise to create a balance.  When the roids are discontinued the disruption to the endicrine system remains and the result are hormonally buggered people.

Its a condition id have thought would be better to treat than to encourage, but then i dont have any vested interest in an ideological agenda.  Just more victims of the left to add to the heap.

It's been done. It''s called the Collected Works of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin and Mao.


Marx gave us class consciousness. But it was left to Lenin to harness and direct that consciousness through agit-prop.  Greens_Win and others might not be aware but they are using tactics and strategies outlined by Lenin, honed by Stalin and still used by Greens in every country - Greens are the Marxist-Leninists after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Everyone has noticed that the Greens here, in Germany, Britain and everywhere concern themselves with many more things than the environment. The Greens are today's Bolsheviks, the vanguard against established order. They are skilled in diffusing the party line through Twitter and social media, they are very skilled at shouting down any thought criminal, demanding public self-censorship and self-criticism.

Sounds like Lorenzo's Oil - over-dosing on one thing brings about a response from the body to compensate and thus resolves the imbalance....

You could be on to something......

Steroids are used in many things..... I use one for asthma.... but I don't think I'm turning woman just yet.....

No one has the right to not be offended, Mistie.

Except you and the old boy.
