Oh yeah, I’m doing a bit of Sociology study so I’m to my neck in the Feminism stuff. I’m not too bad in the kitchen, but I’ve realised that there’s actually a heap of things that I have to become more hands on with – mechanics etc.
I was on the bus again today and noticed a sign on the back of a truck which read “If trucks stop, Australia stops”. I don’t even know what the message was supporting, but it made me think for a moment about the predicament our Nation will find itself in post PO. Second only to the US in terms of a dramatically negative impact upon an industrialised society, do you think, ubercynicmeister? I'm up in Brisbane, what's your view from regional Australia?

I'll tell you a little secret: a lot of those girls who claim to be unable to cook can actually cook well enough for the purposes of feeding themselves, if necessary. Not great cooks, but can do. I know because I'm one of those girls that has mercilessly got all her boyfriends to cook for her. In the times I've been single, I've managed fine.
On the other hand, I'm amazed at the number of boys that nowadays can't do the simplest DIY stuff. I had to give my ex-husband detailed instructions for putting up shelves. Like putting up shelves was rocket science.

Try to keep a straight face...you need to read "The Myth Of Male Power" by Warren Farrell, a book I re-read regularly. It'll give you all sorts of real insights (not the false variety offered by the Feminist liars) into the male/female divide. The one that Feminism opened so wide it's now unbridgeable, if you ask me. Warren Farrell's book is a REAL eye-opener:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Warren Farrell', '.')..in Australia....domestic violence in now defined to include a man raising his voice to his wife - 'the domestic decibel rule'.
And people wonder why Australian guys don't want to get married? I wonder how many Feminists advertise the fact that "domestic violence" is now defined as "talking in a loud voice" (wow, I'm impressed). Of course, if you're married and actually do raise your voice...God Help You because our Society certainly won't.

It's interesting, but any male who shows the slightest interest in being mechanical is automatically derided by females: "Oh, all he can think about is..." (brakes, gearboxes, motors, steam locomotives, insert whatever male interest you like here), yet when the guys STOP showing an interest in such things the females condemn the same men:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Doly', 'I')'m amazed at the number of boys that nowadays can't do the simplest DIY stuff. I had to give my ex-husband detailed instructions for putting up shelves.
In other words, after decades of condemning men for having an interest in "being practical" we are now to condemn men for dropping their interest in being practical? Wonderful.

The web of social taboo is just so strong, even when people admit there's no rational reason for it. You'd be amazed at the people who can raise prize roses but feel it beneath themselves to plant a spud.
